Don't know what took them so long. Hopefully there circulation plummeting was the reason.

Might have something to do with the fact they posted active duty and retired police officers on that map which from what i remember is ILLEGAL.

 

In any case... I say good!

Unthinking and dangerous but not illegal. NY Penal Law 400 said that info is public information. Always has been. Twice in two years someone had the nerve to publish it. Once on a website and worse in the Journal News complete with a Google map. That made the stinky stuff hit the fan. 

When's the creator of the firearm locator app going to be served papers

"Two months ago, the White Plains-based newspaper admitted that the information it published was badly outdated. The paper acknowledged many people had a dot on their house, indicating there was a gun permit at that address, even though they didn’t own a gun."

 

 

Total scumbags.

 At least someone was held accountable, but it should not stop there, management is ultimately responsible as well!

Yep, I posted this a few days ago.

 

A lot of people here don't believe wnd, I linked this:

I read it was Illegal to post police data not the general public

I just downloaded that app to see how accurate it is. It doesn't show anyone that I know as having a gun at their place. In fact it really is only showing shops which is kinda helpful lol

Every false location should have sued the paper and caused it to go bankrupt. Then i would be satisfied. One sacrificial douche should not save the rest

The .csv files were posted a few years ago on a website called whospackingny.com, and they were pretty informative. Anybody could download them. All my friends who are NYPD, DEA or NYSP; their home addresses were listed on there. For some odd reason, this story didn't create much fanfare.

There are no exceptions for law enforcement that I'm aware of.

 

Taken from NY Penal Law 400:

 5. Filing of approved applications. The application for  any  license,  if  granted,  shall  be filed by the licensing officer with the clerk of  the county of issuance, except that in the city of New York and, in  the  counties  of  Nassau  and Suffolk, the licensing officer shall designate  the place of filing in the appropriate division, bureau or unit  of  the  police department thereof, and in the county of Suffolk the county clerk  is hereby authorized to transfer all records or applications relating to  firearms to the licensing authority of that county. The name and address  of  any  person  to whom an application for any license has been granted  shall be a public record. Upon application by a licensee who has changed  his place of residence such records or applications shall be transferred  to the appropriate officer at the licensee's new place of  residence.  A  duplicate  copy  of  such  application  shall  be filed by the licensing  officer in the executive department, division of state  police,  Albany,  within  ten  days  after  issuance  of  the  license.  Nothing  in  this  subdivision shall be construed to change the expiration date or term  of  such licenses if otherwise provided for in law.

Still wouldn't be satisfied.  What they did was calculated and completely malicious.
