"We obtained the names and addresses of Westchester and Rockland residents who are licensed to own handguns through routine Freedom of Information law requests. We also requested information on the number and types of guns owned by permit holders, but officials in the county clerks offices in Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties maintained that those specifics were not public record," the statement read.

"New York's top public-records expert, Robert Freeman, disagrees," it added.

The paper declined to answer further questions about the map.

The MSM going nuts again.

An attempt to intimidate has backfired. Leftists always over-reach.

In a statement to ABC News, The Journal News said its readers "are understandably interested to know about guns in their neighborhoods,"

Did they also publish a map of all the illegal guns in the neighborhoods?

The only thing that thugs understand is hardball. And the best way to hit back at the media is through their advertisers. When a company finds that it is more expensive to support the paper than it is to find other ways to reach customers, they’ll respond by pulling their ads. So the best response is to boycott advertisers, and let them know that you are doing it.

Probably nothing the neighbors of these owners’ didn’t already know. The mass media doesn’t understand that you can be a gun owner and also be a good, friendly neighbor.

A silver lining here is that it will drive up the home prices in the neighborhoods where the residents have the most guns. Everyone will want to move there.

This guy:

http://christopherfountain.wordpress.com/2012/12/24/sauce-for-the-goose/

posted the name, address phone numbers and other info on the publisher and the reporter.

I don’t know who the guy is, but one would suspect he’s one of the people displayed in this reckless release of data.

Well, if they want it to be public information, that sort of makes concealed carry a moot point.

Since everyone knows you’ve gt a gun, then it follows you might as well wear it on your hip.

Hey! *They* are the ones making this into a Wild West Show.

It would be absolutely fascinating to see if that list has been redacted by political affiliation. If it had been, there would be a dandy potential lawsuit in the offing.

Get the names of the editors and reporters. then get their addresses through real property tax and voting records (also available under FOIL). Hand them out to the local homeless as people who don’t believe in gun ownership. Let hijinxks ensue.

I wish our local paper would do that. I’d make sure my name and address were on the list and ask that they add that I’m a mean, paranoid psychopath and have a Rottweiler, too.

My front door welcome mat says, “Go Away”.

This is exactly why we cannot ever agree to gun registration.

These homes are ‘hurt lockers’ for criminals. Best think twice before hitting these places, you may not come out alive.
