A New York paper published the names and address of individuals licensed to carry a concealed weapon in several New York counties.  By elimination, it also indicates who is unarmed.  The link to “For What its Worth” includes the names, addresses, phone numbers and some pictures of the editor, reporter and staff at the paper.  Sweet.

You could let them know what you think.  Don’t worry about time zones because the news never sleeps.

I assume that some enterprising lawyer is now watching the crime reports in these new York counties.  The lawyer notices when a gun-free home is robbed, or if an armed home is robbed when the owners are not present and the firearm is stolen.  Why, this could be a new line of litigation.  The paper may have the right to publish this information.  They may not have the financial resources to survive the results.
