Tennessee: Memphis News Site Publishes Tennessee Concealed Carry Permit Holder List
 
Thursday, February 12, 2009
 

Call CommercialAppeal.com today and urge them to remove this intrusion on personal information!

 

A Memphis based online news website, CommercialAppeal.com, has posted Tennessee’s right to carry permit holder list online!  CommercialAppeal.com apparently feels that the “public’s right to know” outweighs your right to privacy.  Their irresponsible decision to publish this list has made it easier for criminals to target law-abiding gun owners. 

 

Shockingly when the list was first published, it even included permit holders home address!  However, bowing to criticism, CommercialAppeal.com removed the address but still included a permit holder’s full name, birth date, city, zip code, and the issue and expiration date of their permit...

Just print the names/address of the publisher and editors. Fair is fair.

Criminals and community organizers.

Names and addresses of everyone working for this newspaper need to be posted.

A gun-rights group should obtain a list of all the local members (including the newspaper staff) of gun-control activists and publish that list of names and addresses as a notice of locations with safe working conditions for burglars and home invaders.

Don’t forget to publish an easy to follow map as well.

Print up flyers with the names and addresses of the gun control freaks at the publisher and distribute them in the nastiest parts of town. Put them on utility poles. That eliminates any leverage the publisher might have to keep the information away from the conventional press outlets.

Good idea. They're publishing the names and addresses of people who practice the second amendment, it's only fair to publish the names and addresses of those who practice the first amendment.

I am not sure that I would mind being on the list. Burglars do not want to go to a house where they know they would be shot.

Yeah, but the response to these idiots was to publish any public available information for the station GM, reporter. Mortgage information, property tax records, etc.

Now we just need to get to work on their home addresses. They provided the same service for CCW holders, so we should return the favor.
