detailed the plan in a Jan. 19 e-mail to newsrooms in 11 states, including Ohio, Illinois and Pennsylvania.

I wonder if they were stupid enough to ask Florida....? I'd love to read the response from FL to them. Something maybe like:

"Hello, we're known as the Sunshine State, but you can stick this request where the sun NEVER shines...."

Good, let them try to put my name up there.. I have an amazing ability to track down people online, and trust me, the instant I see my name and address in their paper, not a single person who works for that paper will go without having name, address, phone numbers, and various other sites exposed.

They want war? Lets give it to them. Amazing the stuff you can uncover online about people..

Here's a response to an email I sent to Michael C. Bush, the CEO, posted with his permission:

Civitas Media never had any plans or intentions of publishing in
print or online lists of holders of "conceal and carry" permits. 
Nor will Civitas Media develop databases of permit holders.  A
poorly crafted internal memo meant to highlight editorial
discussions and planning incorrectly indicated that such a database
was being planned; it has been considered and rejected.

Thanks for the info, Michael

Just fired off this email to Sr. Bush. Why don’t we see if we can melt down their email server?

Mr. Bush, The proposal to publish a CCW database state by state is a really bad idea. You might want to have a chat with Jim Lawitz about it before it goes much further.
Have a nice day.

(For those on my rather voluminous email BCC list, here’s a link to the situation referenced in this email. You might also wish to send Mr. Bush, CEO of Civitas Media an email as well.)

Create an app that users can log anti-gun crowd residences on a user friendly map

Just received the following from Civitas:
A bad idea indeed.

Civitas Media never had any plans or intentions of publishing in print or online lists of holders of “conceal and carry” permits. Nor will Civitas Media develop databases of permit holders. A poorly crafted internal memo meant to highlight editorial discussions and planning incorrectly indicated that such a database was being planned; it has been considered and rejected.

The fact that they even considered it is enough reason to publish their names, phone#'s and address' IMO...

Someone should create a state by state database of the names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of all idiots working for newspapers.

The Civitas web page identifies all the newspapers and where they’re located.

This is one of the MANY reasons to NOT get a CCW permit! Permits are REGISTRATION!
You all just saw how hackers stole credit card numbers from Target customers. If there is any information as to your status as a gun owner/carrier it will be made available one way or the other much to your detriment.
