and click on "It's a big old file" to download the list.

This is uncalled for. It�s a list of gun owners and their addresses. What his intention was in publishing this list is beyond me.

You might want to let him know what you think about it.

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

While perusing the Commercial Appeal site mentioned in Tennessee's leading the charge of publicizing permit holders I found an interesting article that says lawmakers are seeking to make felons of those who carry guns without permits, all in the name of stopping crime, of course. This is proof positive that I do not need nor want a permit to carry. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Unintended consequences, here we come.

I wonder if David Huckabee got a CCL too?

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

It was already published before it was published by the papers.



Eyes open yet ?

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

I'm trying, Ag, I'm trying.

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

Rest assured the anti-gun people will stop at nothing to demonize gun owners and in the end ban ALL guns.

Through taxes, laws, restrictions, publicity or whatever it takes.

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

Is there a link to the list?

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

That is a classic PROBLEM REACTION SOLUTION play.


Problem......Put Gun owner information out there. Foment widespread discontent and indignation.

Reaction.... Gun owner are more apt to defend themselves and several fatalies occur THAT NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED if the old system was maintained.

Solution.......Stricter gun laws to reduce the "up surge" in violence.


Wash,Rinse,Repeat.

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

Who cares? I just don't get the paranoia some of you have with being on some stupid list. It reminds me of the warnings back in elementary school when the teacher told me something wasn't going to go on my permanent record. I didn't care then and I couldn't care less now. If there are lists being kept, I'm 100% sure I'm on it and I wouldn't have it any other way. WTF?

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

I think we should post the reporters home address,phone number and family member names. Along with a google maps picture of their home. :565:

That is the arkansas one. That list didn't mention addresses, only the zipcode.

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

next week a list of people who dont like the way government fuc. the people , then week two the people who want to be lift alone an live free , this just pisses me off more an more , let post about the judges that dont do there jobs are the cops that are bad

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

It is not the list in the authorities hands that I care about. It is telling the criminals that I may have a gun in my home and that could possibly make my home a target. All the criminals would have to do it wait until I leave and break in. Hopefully my teenage daughter would not be at home. What would you do if your kid was murdered because some criminals used the list the reporter posted on the web to break into your house?

Quite frankly, I would be more concerned about a theif tracing my whereabouts after seeing me post on a pro gold ownership forum, but to each his own I guess.

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

He's got bosses who are getting a bit uncomfortable. They thought the "surge" in Iraq was wonderful, but the "up surge" at home is not so pretty.

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

I think that is difficult to do unless your talking about the government. You have to find the I.P. address of the person, and if they're spoofing forget it. Then you have to hack into their ISP and find the records of the I.P used at the time of the post, and you have to hack into more records to find the user and the user's home address.

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

Well your a pretty good guy and I always respected your opinion but this time I think you are wrong. Thats just me.
Let me ask you. If they next decided to publish all the people who have purchased gold and silver along with their address's would you feel the same way?
I suspect there are a lot of people who have a lot more of their money tied up in guns and supplies than metals. These people have a valid concern. I intend to call the NRA tomorrow and see if they have filed an action on it.

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

4chan posters regularly track people down based on nothing but a email address or livejournal account. Next thing they know: daddy is getting naked pictures of his daughter mailed to his workplace.

ISPs are cooperative enough: hacking is not usually necessary to reverse an IP.

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

The Roanoke Times did this to Virginia CCW holders a few years ago. The home addresses and phone numbers of all their senior editors were then posted on a pro-gun website.

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

I'm sure that's "illegal."

The laws are for YOU, not "them."

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

He was too busy torturing a dog to death to fill out the CCL paperwork.

Besides, if he ever gets caught with an illegal gun, his daddy will fix things for him.

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

......well now they are forewarned in writing i am dangerous......so they cant claim ignorant when i shoot em...

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

I see your point but please consider another point ...

A cc permit does not necessarily mean one has a LOT of guns as many cc permittees really do not, many are NOT gun nuts at all, just ONE gunners, trust me I took the class 3 mos ago ... but it means ONLY that the target victim of the burglary has ONE gun on himself when he is away from home.

This is far different than the case of a person who has known precious metal waiting at home -- the permittee has rather a known gun on his person when he comes home and potentially finds a burglar invading his own place of final RETREAT ... a legally lethal spot for the perp if surprised by a returning ARMED resident... (potential killing ground is clear defense when there is no opprtunity of retreat, as in home invasion, the target was guns you say, so perp is presumed armed with victim's home guns)... so maybe a quick hot bullet of precious lead for the unfortunately surprised perp possibly, only if the returning dweller has a ccp... surely this would cross his deranged criminal mind.

Can you see how this is different than just publishing the names of PM holders and how the PM-alone(no CC) people are really MORE threatened than the CC-alone crowd? And if ya have PMs -- maybe better consider a CC?

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

My address is a postal service. Nobody knows me by the name they would list.

And it is public record... Having said that. people posting it in newspapers are assholes who compromise the safety of many people. In a couple of ways really. The people carrying, as well as those who may live because someone was carrying.

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

The Internet's strength is in its anonymity - the key is to not make yourself a public figure on the web. Don't jump into Facebook, Myspace, etc. and publish everything about you - that's how 4chan gets people = because people make a nice, searchable story of their life and everyone they know on the net for everyone to see.

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

No CHL over here............thought about it.....but nope.

:puke:

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

Texas CHL holders information is not available to the public...it used to be but not anymore. I believe the logic behind the new privacy law was so criminals can't look up and know if a potential break in victim is armed or not...to keep them guessing.

I would think being on a list of armed people would deter a criminal from selecting you for crimes...there are easier pickings than somebody trained and armed who knows the legal grounds for killing you.

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

Hey, why do you have to throw innocent people in this mess as well? The cops don't have anything to do with this, and they are the ones most likely to be AGAINST this kind of crap anyways. It's not their fault some lame ass votes this into law. It's the little old people that are anti guns that you need to be focusing this on, not the ones most likely to be pro-guns(yeah, the cops, as most of them DO like guns). Think about it, most cops are pro guns, especially pro carry, I know I sure the hell am!

Politicians on the other hand, they are a different breed altogether.

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

OK I will look at this from the plausible deniability angle.

Cops/ Your weopon was used in a crime.

Gun owner/ Yes that gun was stolen not long after the dirtbag released all the CWP holders and their addresses on the Internet.

Sounds like reasonable doubt to me.

We are just getting spanked for the freedom of information act.

It never should have been an invitation to invade the individuals right to private papers & property but retaliation is the way of politics isn't it?

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

+1

I'm on lists. I am on lists because I chose to exercise my rights of speech, assembly, and to train with firearms.

All Constitutionally protected, all got me on lists. Appalling as it would be to the Founders, it is normal and customery for our police state weasels. Their lists make them feel strong, but I do not care.

I know of someone else who is keeping a "list", and I will put my trust in HIM.
The LORD keeps lists too, and those horse theiving, perverted, rotten commies in D.C. are on His.

I sleep fine every night.:biggrin:

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

Your point is well taken Curtman. Given the circumstances however, we must currently make a choice in most cases to carry with or without the permit and take any benefits or consequences of either choice.

Some will undoubtedly choose one and some will choose the other. I would hope that these circumstances do not have much of an affect on whether or not individuals will prepare to protect themselves or even others. We certainly need more of the good guys armed.

Re: Concealed Carry Holders Be Advised
 

A paper in Florida did this a number of years back. They thought by outing ccw's it would bring peer/community pressure on them to stop carrying.

The result was that ccw info was exempted from State Sunshine (public records) Law.
