As I remember it took me a little while to find the local sex offender database. When I did find it some of the entries were questionable or outdated.
It is nice to know that the MSM is going to keep me informed on who the gun owners are though!
NOTE: A half a serving of sarcasm accompanied this post. I appreciate you taking the time to write them a letter. It lets them know that they are being monitored.
hmmmmm, A smart criminal would have downloaded that excel file and then started casing the 'nicer' homes (rich libs?) that did not have CCW permit holders.
Did the stupid liberals just make themselves inviting targets in FLA?
Were all counties linked?
What a way to cross reference names in a phone book and CCW permit holders! I hope that a "smart" crook does not think that all women listed in the phone book are not armed, just because no CCW permit is listed.
They sure would be shocked at my home. I would not like to be targeted, however!
To get property ownerhip information you must go in person and sign in at the clerks office...why should this information not be just as private...yet public!
It works in Switzerland.

Perhaps you should find a way to publish the home address and phone number of every person who works at the station so that citizens can contact them with some "Hot" news story for the "Public Good"...
The fact that the information is a public record is mind numbing stupidity.
I say we post the names and addresses of the anti gun people so the criminals know who the easy targets are.
all conservatives should own a gun and know how to use it. even if it means jumping through gov hoops.
overwhelm them.
imagine 1-2 million names on ccw list in a state. or twice that. etc.
I don't know what county you live in but I can look up just about all this info and any given property appraiser's website.
Just four or five counties in east Central Florida. Orange, Seminole, Brevard - I don't remember which others.
Florida public records law can be quite a pita. You can pretty much find out anything about anyone and if they are a government worker what they make, how long they've been there, what they do, blah blah.
You can also look up some pretty good information on corporations. At this website http://www.sunbiz.org/corpweb/inquiry/corinam.html
one can lookup information on Florida corporations. So if, for example, we input WFTV, we find that their principal address is in Georgia and the names and addreses of officers and directors.
I see that most are in Georgia but one, a VP named William Hoffman, has an Orlando address. Perhaps those of us who were disgusted by this stunt should write or call Mr Hoffman.
Every female who wants to get an abortion in florida must get an 'abortion permit'.
The name of those who have an 'abortion permit' would be made public record, just like ccw permits.

Hoo hoo, great points flashbunny! You are my kind of rabbit! :D
I think what it did is tell the bad guys the people they cannot make victims. All of the others will be fair game.
Matters of public record are things like marriage licenses, which you have no control of. Anyone can access a list of marriage licenses without the consent of those who applied for them.
That may well be, but it's not relevant.
I'm not sure how smart that would be. I don't know about your state, but in Texas, there are whole lotta folks who own and maintain firearms but don't hold CCL's. There might not be a CCL in the house you attempt to rob, and there might not even be a handgun, but that doesn't mean that there aren't several shotguns loaded with buckshot just waiting for an intruder.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but you'll have to show me. Link to the relevant statutes that would make this a felony, please.
I don't think a complaint that the station made public records available to the public is apt to hurt it's chances for licensing.
