Newspaper chain plans 'state-by-state' concealed weapon databases

A national newspaper chain with nearly 100 publications and 1.6 million readers is considering building “state-by-state databases” on concealed weapons permit holders, according to an internal e-mail.

The plan, laid out in an email from a top editor at North Carolina-based Civitas Media, could be similar to a controversial project a New York state newspaper carried out in 2012 which included an online map that identified gun owners in two counties by name and address. Civitas' database project was detailed the plan in a Jan. 19 e-mail to newsrooms in 11 states, including Ohio, Illinois and Pennsylvania.

The newest project "examines the explosion of ‘conceal and carry’ gun permits across the U.S.,” wrote Jim Lawitz, Civitas’ director of content, in an e-mail first obtained by the Buckeye Firearms Association. “Through public records act requests, we will attempt to build state-by-state databases that list those who have the right to carry a concealed weapon.”

Sounds like a basis for class action suit. Who said collectivists are smart?

Ultimately, they will cause bloodshed as ex-wives/husbands who moved away from deranged spouses are exposed in databases and as thieves try to steal firearms from those who are published.

Even aside from the fundamental privacy issues, this is a bad idea.

What to do? Publish the names, addresses, phone numbers and emails of those who advocate or try to employ these tactics and give them a taste of what they want to deliver to those on their lists?

Sure is a tempting thought.

Solution, get addresses and personal data of the chains management, and publish on Web. Create dirt.

I think a public online database of divorce and criminal records for Civitas Media reporters is in order.

They say the pen is mightier than the sword. I believe it is imperitive, for our safety, to have a database with the name and home address of every employee and officer of the newspaper chain. Becuase of the potential for damage I say we need to know the possible whereabouts of these people at all times, including where they drop their kids off to school and shop for groceries. Of course I don’t advocate doing anything with this information but it is important to have it compiled just in case.

They are mad that the fascists were not able to confiscate all legal guns after the Newtown CT. murders.

They obviously don’t want to take guns from violent criminals. They do want to take them from non-violent, honest, law-abiding citizens.

In KY the law states that information can’t be released.....legally. However we do have a Rat governor that likes to issue illegal EOs. So far he’s been getting away with it.

But I was told by the CC instructor that the Obozo feds were pressuring KY to give them the list.

I personally don’t believe Americans in general will ever reach a tipping point - far too many sheep. It’s not in most of them. But.....if they were to do so, hell would break loose.

I’m going to need the home address, social security numbers, and date of birth of all these guys. It’s only fair.

This is my state, and I have never heard of these people...in the background people; probably from somewhere else as most of the people here now.

Now here’s an idea: why not post online the names, addresses and SS# numbers of everybody who works at that “national news chain”? Violate their right to privacy the same way they’re trying to violate ours.

Add to that their children`s info, especially which schools and grades they attend and I`m with you. Do you think we could get pictures of the entire families? Also their social media info.

Great that lib states just hand that personal info out,
How about handing out a list of illegals (and their addresses ) who sign up and get those special drivers licenses for illegal aliens, that are different that the licences the rest of us get?
