Just when you think things cant get any worse, some a$$wipe goes and does something like this. I mean, really, was it necessary to locate all of these people with handgun permits on a map and post it? I suppose there is no such thing as morality in journalism anymore. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should do it. WTF!!!!

I would be furious, for no other reason, because it would make me a potential high priority target for theft while no one was at home.

I did get a good laugh at the response to it though; when their personal info was posted.LOL Whats good for the goose, is good for the gander. But unfortunately what attention these reporters, editors, etc. receive will only be short lived compared with the people located by map points. Sadly they will have to sweat this out for quite a while, Im afraid.

Today Senator Greg Ball (Patterson – R, C, I) called for the Journal News Newspaper, a Gannett Company, to immediately remove a map they have posted on their website that unethically reveals homeowners with pistol permits in Westchester, Rockland and Putnam Counties. The Journal News says that the information contained in the map was obtained by submitting Freedom of Information requests for the names and addresses of pistol permit holders by county. Senator Ball has now announced that he will introduce legislation in the New York State Senate, to prevent this from happening again.

Are these people who just own pistols or are these people who have pistol carry permits?
