On Sunday, liberal New York newspaper The Journal News published the names and addresses of legal permit holders in two counties online and in print. If that wasn’t bad enough, this weekend, the Gannett owned Journal News announced that it will publish more names and addresses of residents holding pistol permits in the New York area.
Enough is Enough.
Two other outlets have posted names and personal contact info for the employees of this Gannett owned paper. Isn’t it about time the Gannett Board of Directors were contacted for their official reaction to this controversial practice? Do these board members think this is appropriate and ethical? It would be interesting to hear from these board members.
Maybe someone should contact these board members and ask them. Because of the holiday weekend you may have trouble reaching them in their offices so you may want to try them at home.
...
It would be interesting to run a background check on them, too, and look for DUI’s, unpaid support, etc. All in the public interest, of course . . . Especially since the Journal News is doubling down.

Is It Time to Contact Gannett Board of Directors For Official Reaction to Invasion of Privacy to Legal Gun Permit Holders?
No, time to post their names and addresses and hold a protest in their front yard. Seriously, if just one concealed carry holder is damaged by their publication, the resulting lawsuit will end this. By the way, has anyone besides me noticed a correlation between these actions and Feinstein’s proposed gun registration? And they wonder why we oppose registration.......

Publishing the names and addresses (and aerial home views) of ALL the liberal media lapdogs is the perfect Alinksy tactic against the Alinskyites. In their feral adolescent minds they think anyone to the right of Barbra Streisand is armed and dangerous. So they are genuinely intimidated when they are pointed out on a map.
Good idea!
all the writers, editors, ect on that list have had their phones off the hook since the day it came out...some have switched numbers and just about all the facebook pages have been shut down....real brave of these cowards...
The paper has announced that it will expand its map and print even more names.
Yeah, forget contacting “the Board”. Post names, addresses, phone numbers and any other personal data on the Internet and then pay them a visit.
Good grief. Follow the money. Contact the advertisers. Duh.
Gannet is USA today the Army Times AF Times, nothing but a bunch of left wing nuts, don’t waste your time.
Right. Media has zero respect for 2nd amendment.
But consider a law to limits publication of classified information, war secrets, things that could get our troops killed, identity of spies in foreign countries helping us, national security secrets, photos of crime victims, private humiliating details on private citizens, etc., etc.
and these ba$tard$ scream bloody murder

Indeed. But if just 2 major advertisers were to tell USA today to pound sand...The board would hear of it. Then if 100 advertisers were to stop advertising at the 82 Gannet newspapers the board would hear of it.
Instead we focus on annoying the reporter/publisher/editor. Call the advertisers! FOLLOW THE MONEY. DUH

Drango~:” Good grief. Follow the money. Contact the advertisers.
Duh.”
Drango has it right !!
Follow the money .. and let those who advertize through the papers that you are not going to purchase at their stores.
Every permit holder is a private citizen.
When they list the name and address of permit holders ,they are making you a “public figure” against your wishes .
That will make you more vulnerable to a home burglary , since the lawful have no interest ,and the unlawful don’t respect laws to begin with .
I know I am in the minority here,,don’t flame me. I’m a good Freeper.
I really don’t care if people know my name/addy and if I have a gun,, I hope they think I have a gun! It really doesn’t bother me a bit. I think gun owners should create a flag to fly on their property that says “Hell Ya,,I own weapons,,bring it!” I don’t see why this is intimidating.
Seriously. The editor/publisher/reporter take it as a badge of honor if you call them. They brag about increase web hits to their site.
INSTEAD: Call a car dealer, call a retailer, call any Gannett advertiser. Repost on all the NRA and Gun boards. FOLLOW THE MONEY.
Someone may want to point out to Gannet that while their interest is in exposing gun owners,,they are also exposing addresses who have no registered weapons and making those homes targets for those who are armed,,just wondering if they thought about that!
Post the advertisers' names and home addresses. DUH
I'm not really advocating it, I am just pointing out that this is where we are headed, if they keep it up.
A lot of information is actually public. Time to go into county records and pull copies of mortgage records with SSNs, drivers licenses, dates of birth and so on.
Depending on the source most of that can be obtained through public records.
I’ve got so many pop up/ad blockers it hard to tell...here is one www.westchestertoyota.com
http://www.westchestertoyota.com/staff.aspx
David Lee? Apparently he’s the General Sales manager. Call him at 888-224-4595 and politely ask him to stop advertising.
(No I don’t know where he lives. And no I don’t know the owner.)
Perhaps it’s time to contact people in the area NOT listed as having permits and asking them “is your house un-armed? The Gannett papers say you’re a sitting duck”;
Maybe this will produce angry phone calls to the paper FROM the un-armed citizens starting to feel the paper has MADE THEM vulnerable.
Publicize where their kids go to school. That ought to get their attention.
We thank all our fans for their feedback on the recent article posted in the Journal News. Unfortunately due to contractual obligations we are unable to cease our advertising with them or their website, Lohud.com, regardless of how we feel about the published list. We hope that you understand our situation and do not hold it against our business. As you can see by our Facebook page, Westchester Toyota is actively trying to make Westchester County a better place to live and challenges our fans to do the same.
2) Drive your pick-up to the "day laborer" section of the Home Depot parking lot.
3) Hand out the aforementioned copies to the crowd.
4) (optional) Drive home and open a cold one.
Maybe it’s time to do a spoof. That is, create a webpage with a map of “everything Muslim” in the NYC area, and attribute the webpage to The Journal News, with a disclaimer in small print on the bottom of the page.
As an extra ha-ha, include a mouse-over on the map that puts a “terrorist detainment center” in Central Park.
Gannett won’t do squat!
They started in Upstate NY, and did exactly the same thing in the Rochester, NY Democrat & Chronicle back in the 70’s. They had a five or six full page listing of every CC permit holder in the county - full names and titles plus address - around 7000 or so listings. Then, as now, the excuse was “It’s public knowledge.”
Not sure what the answer is, but this type of usage of our public records may be legal, but to my mind is unlawful.
This is a classic Fascist intimidation tactic. You haven’t been intimidated (yet) but consider another variation...
Here in Washington state the left published the names and addresses of folks who signed petitions for a proposed referendum. The next thing the lefties did was to visit homes of signers and harass them - including many seniors who are more vulnerable than you or me.
There is no legitimate reason for any of this. There is no public interest being served. For them to do any of this is purely provocative and vindictive. It is harassment (even if you don’t personally feel harassed). It is another step in a program of intimidation. It needs to be met head-on.
Don’t lose sight of the forest for the trees.
Perhaps. But the attack on the board/reporters/editors is unfocused.
One major advertiser from a publication such as the Arizona Daily news, calling and saying they are canceling their advertisements won't make a blip. 10 advertisers will get their attention, and with 82 newspapers 100 advertisers defecting is very feasible.
As long as the focus is away from the money whatever is done won't make a difference.
Are you a woman who is being stalked by her ex? Were you raped and want your location protected? There are any number of reasons that someone wishes to keep their location private. Many gun owners don’t wish to have their home robbed specifically for the firearms that may be there. Besides, it’s nobodies F’n business what people have in their house!!! They haven’t broken any laws.
Such a list will be a gold mine for criminals looking to steal firearms. All they have to do is wait till the occupant leaves. I don't know about other places, but around here letting anyone know that you have guns is an open invitation to burglars.
FOLLOW THE MONEY
The New York State Rifle & Pistol Association is calling for a nationwide boycott of the advertisers of the suburban New York newspaper that published online maps revealing names and addresses of people with pistol permits.
The association on Monday announced it was urging people to stop patronizing any business who advertises with Gannett — the White Plains-based Journal News’ parent company — until the map is removed. On Dec. 22, the Journal News published interactive maps showing the pistol permit holders in the state’s Westchester and Rockland counties. The decision sparked an uproar among conservatives and gun rights advocates, but the paper says it will continue adding names to the map.
The paper’s decision to publish an online list of pistol permit holders was a “wanton act” that “has put in harm’s way tens of thousands of lawful license holders,” the association stated in a news release.
The group is encouraging “concerned citizens” to contact national and local advertisers who use the Journal News — including Best Buy, CVS, IKEA and Target, among others — and tell them to stop running ads until the list of lower Hudson Valley pistol license holders is off the Web.
“State that you will no longer patronize any advertiser who uses Gannett (the Journal News’ parent company) until and unless that advertiser withholds further ads until Gannett takes down the pistol licensee Web page and ceases attacking lawful firearm ownership,” the NYSRPA wrote in release. “In particular, contact advertisers with whom you already do business, and who may know you personally.”
Janet Hasson, president and publisher of the Journal News Media Group, has not yet responded to a request for comment.
Controlled application of force is the sincerest form of communication.
Indeed!
The New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. has the following listings on its webpage here:
MAJOR AND NATIONAL ADVERTISERS
Go there to see the whole list.
By the way - in NYS you need a permit to buy a weapon which is what they listed; it is not a list of concealed carry permit holders.
Worthy of a re-ping?
