Two handguns and two pistol permits were stolen from the New City home of a man whose name and address are listed on the website of a local newspaper as possessing gun permits, police said.
The thieves ransacked the house Wednesday night, breaking into two safes on the home's third floor and stealing a third safe. The guns were in the stolen safe, police said.
Clarkstown police said they had no evidence the burglary was connected to the controversial map.

“Clarkstown police said they had no evidence the burglary was connected to the controversial map.”
And they have no evidence that it WASN’T either! GEEZ
Thieves could go after the guns based on the list, but more likely, they’ll go after homes that don’t have gun permits to help minimize their risk.
Publishing the list could backfire, if people realize they need to be on the permit list as a deterrent to thieves.
And then again these idiots can break into a house where the owner has an unregistered gun and oopsie!...dead thief!
But Cumo said his new gun control law would solve all these problems.
And over in the press room each of these incidents is being celebrated as a little victory.
So this is the second burglary associated with the map...
Considering the new law, I think houses with guns will be hit first.
It will, if criminals would just do what the politicians tell them to do. Pot calling the kettle black?

More mouth breathers who are quite happy to exercise their domination over us.
Trust me...they’ll go after the houses with the guns. I have an aquaintance who spent 7 years in prison for trafficking guns.
How did he get the guns?
He paid teenagers to break into houses....when nobody was home.
And in my personal life, I know at least a dozen people who have had guns stolen from their home.
Its the mechanism by which legal guns become ‘street’ guns.
Sooner or later, one of these guns stolen due to the article will be used in a crime. The media will have been complicit in the transition of the gun from lawful ownership to being used in a violent crime....and the media will authoritatively blame the Gun.
Soon Mr. Criminal will have a national database to download of all gun owners and details about their inventories. Plus the black market will flourish making it really easy to obtain guns.
Is this the revenge you sought, Obama voters?
I’m so livid you have no idea. i live in NY where they listed us on the site
When the (then)Liberal government of Canada brought in the “Long Gun Registry”, the registry was not accessible to the public (at least not legally). Law enforcement agencies had access — but not the public. The reason — fear that guns would be stolen, if their locations were known. Even Canadian Liberals got that — why can’t American liberals get it?
BTW, our Conservative government recently did even better — they abolished the registry, and destroyed the database (except in Quebec, where the socialist/separatist government insisted the database be kept).
Who has two pistol permits?
As much as I agree with ya there has to be a proven nexus. Too early yet. Need more data.
Of course, there are some ‘disreputable’ people that may say their home was broken into and ALL the weapons stolen - AND they took my inventory list so I can’t tell you what exactly was taken.
You know, like the ‘ever lovin’ canoe accident.
