Now they just need to publish the names of all citizens who do not own a weapon. (Just to make fair for everyone.)

Texas has already put CCW records off-limits to the media and other states will do the same. The media simply can't be trusted to respect people's privacy.

The sunshine laws - which are vital to providing the citizens with the ability to check and balance the government - were not intended to be a vehicle to allow us (or newspapers) to spy on fellow citizens.

Why don’t the unarmed neighbors of these folks sue the newspaper for “reckless endangerment?” If I was doing B & E’s, I’d know which house to now rob and which one to stay away from.

Seems Trejbal, the sitzpinkler, has inspired another enterprising young journalist. Yup, those legal gun owners, having taken the time to get a proper permit through the appropriate legal challenges, need to be outed.

I’d be impressed if the idiot posted a list of illegal gunowners, gang members, etc.

I’ll bet that his info becomes public quickly, the snake.

I can’t even imagine the “decision-making process” on this one. It accomplishes NOTHING except angering much of the Ohio population, and likely provides fodder for lawsuits against the paper. The owners or stockholders should immediately boot Westerhold and beg for the public’s forgiveness.

This is simply, unredeemably, stupid.

This news is actually a few weeks old. I’ll have to find the original thread and such. Good to see CNSNews picking it up but the fight is already on.

The Sandusky Register isn't the only Ohio paper to do this. And nothing in Ohio law prevents them from doing it.

You can thank Bob Taft & his media-get-the-lists compromise for all this.

Ohio gun laws restrict public access to concealed carry records but allow the media to access them.

There is absolutely no reason the "media" should have access to any data that the public doesn't have access to.

I do not recall the second amendment requring the disclosure of carrying persons’ names. This is an outrage.

“Critics argue that publishing names and identifying information about concealed carry permit holders puts them at risk being targeted for violence or identity theft.”

I don’t see how that follows, but it might prompt someone to try to burglarize them in order to get the gun. But I suspect that the real reason these newspapers publish this info is also the real reason gun owners don’t want it published. There is an implication that anyone who owns a gun ought to be subjected to ridicule.

The crooks appreciate this, though. They know which houses to break into where they will be less likely to get shot.

And this is why I don’t like CCW. You shouldn’t need a permit to carry a gun. At least not in this country.

As I recall they outed several women who had restraining orders on their husbands.

They had moved from their homes and gone into hiding.

They outed their new addresses.

What is the harm in publishing lists of concealed handgun license holders?

Beyond the fact that the Register has now made public that which statutorily was not to be public, what harm can come from this? Buckeye Firearms Association previously brought you the story of a prison guard who was tracked down by a former inmate by using a concealed carry license list published in the local paper. However, beyond this explicit example, the general public remains largely unaware of just how much harm can come from this.

So, as a service to our readers, we have prepared an example by using Sandusky Register Editor Matt H. Westerhold. We have selected him simply because the paper has pointed to him as the one “responsible” for the decision to publish the lists. However, it would have been just as easy, and valid, to do it with Register publisher Doug Phares or Register owner David Rau...
