The map indicates the addresses of all pistol permit holders in Westchester and Rockland counties. Each dot represents an individual permit holder licensed to own a handgun — a pistol or revolver. The data does not include owners of long guns — rifles or shotguns — which can be purchased without a permit. Being included in this map does not mean the individual at a specific location owns a weapon, just that they are licensed to do so.

Data for all permit categories, unrestricted carry, premises, business, employment, target and hunting, is included, but permit information is not available on an individual basis.

I think it works both ways.  Another way to look at this map is it also tells you who might not have a gun.  No resistance, easy pickings, no?  

Seriously, I think it is irresponsible of the news to report such information.

In Ohio the list of CCW permit holders was also published by a few newpapers.  The law has since been changed.  A reporter may request give the sherrif a name, and the sherrif will then let the reporter know if that person has a permit or not.  Its a step in the right direction, but newspapers will still sometimes make request on politicians, and see if they have a CCW permit to push their agenda.

I have said this many times, and I have been chastised for it. I am against CCW permits for many reasons, this being one of them. CCW is nothing more than registration. It may not, in all states, tell exactly what guns you have, but it will tell the authorities who has them.

Time to repay the editors and staff for the favor.  With a little digging, addresses and telephone numbers can be found for just about anyone.  Start posting their information where they will see it, and other places so folks know where they live.

If you were a huge douchebag, you could call 911 and report a potential home invasion. When cops arrive, "the perps must have fled when they heard sirens". You heard them get close to the door and they were talking about "you sure this is the house with the guns? oh crap, i left the list in the van. shit - do you hear that? - i think i hear the cops.... run!" Police will go Couple days later, you follow up on the case saying you found this map on the internet with your name and address on it.

Then contact an attorney. That would be enough to get the ball rolling.

Maybe next week "they come back" and a window to your basement is broken, too, and now you fear for your and your families' life.

Yeah, for some reason I found Statement #2 pretty hilarious when I renewed mine last summer.

STATEMENT #1
Please DO NOT RELEASE my information because:
1. I swear or affirm that it is my intention to obtain a concealed
handgun license to be used as part of security measures to
protect myself as an individual and/or my family and/or my
property.
2. I swear or affirm that it is my desire to keep all of the infor-
mation that the ******** County Sheriff’s Office obtains, for the
purposes of issuing a concealed handgun license to me,
confidential and exempt from disclosure without my written
consent.

STATEMENT #2
Please feel free to RELEASE my information to anybody.
1. I understand that public requests for my information may come
from friends, neighbors, attorneys, media, various companies,
corporations, businesses, organizations, the NRA, religious groups, political groups, etc.

I hope you are wrong and that my little bit of research suggests that I have a case:

Section 1 - Subdivision 5 of Section 400.00 of the Penal Law, as
amended by Chapter 332 of the laws of 1994, is amended to make the
names of any pistol or revolver permit holders confidential except if
a request is made under the Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) for a
specific individual by name. Any requests for the entire list
of licensees or for all the licensees in a geographic area shall be
denied except if requested by law enforcement (to include any
district attorney office in New York State).

At the very least I want this News Paper to print a redaction and apology and I will be using this to get the Sportsman/ Residence restrictions removed from my license.
