"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.

Publish the names and addresses of all their employees.

Safe bet there are no weapons in those homes.

I think it is long past due for America’s so called propaganda journos to have a full vetting with a whole lot of transparency.

The citizens should dig and report their findings.

This is a great start.

So will they be publishing the names of every AIDS- and HIV-infected person? Those people roaming the earth having indiscriminate sex are much more deadly than people with guns.

I expect that info is reported to some government agency, which makes the data public information.

I am sure the newspaper was trying to set them up as targets for violent, kook protestors, yet the result is that they have told the other criminals addresses to avoid and what are the easier targets in the neighborhoods!

[Lazamataz]

Tell me how it is any different.

So many first reactions here relate to unveiling gun-free homes. Safe to say that will be burglars take too.

The danger of advertising gun-free zones is clear, but likely has never occurred to the publisher of The Journal They’ve stepped in it more than they know. Unintended consequences and a teachable moment.

Will the Journal follow crime rates and details of this area ?

What’s next? Publishing the names of all non-union members so they can be (excuse the terminology) “guided” or “influenced” to join the union?

I’m sure that the “new” Supreme Court would not find anything wrong with that nor would Obama’s “brown shirts.”

While this is IMO for one, an invasion of privacy -- 'public record' -- or not. There is an upside.

Now the Thugs, Burglars, and Home Invaders know which house is defenseless. Which I would think kinds invites violent crimes to be committed. Almost at will. So thanks ya idiot newspaper, you just made your leftist gun-grabbing cohort readers targets:

'Hey bad-guys we're utterly defenseless, come on over and rape or kill us.'

Have a nice day, morons.
Oh, and Merry Festivus-Kwanzaa-Whatever to you.

[Drill Thrawl]

Turnabout is fair play.

The article also gives out more info. It tells burglars, rapists, etc., all the people who DON’T have a gun.

[Lazamataz]

In case you would like to know the reporter who decided to intimidate gun owners by publishing all of their names:

Dwight R Worley
23006 139 Ave
Springfield Gardens, NY 11413
(718) 527-0832

[Patriot95]

So through process of elimination, one can now determine which houses don’t have guns. Someone should publish a list of that saying how they would make easy targets.

[NFHale]

That crap can work both ways...

[Tzimisce]

Wonder what the press is going to print now that they have our healthcare information. :D
