Louisiana has passed a law that would make it a misdemeanor for a person 6mts and $10,000 fine to publish a permit holder name for those who own a permit or have applied a concealed carry permit.
I'm not a scholar but I voted yes.
When the scum paper in NY printed the weapon permit holders names & addresses
it convinced me even more that the press can't be trusted!!
As for CCW permits I'm on the side that says they shouldn't be neccessary,
that said if people want to be legal thats cool-but it shouldn't be public record
for media or others to access!!
The Poll Question does the right to privacy with respect to the 2nd amendment supersede the 1st Amendment in this case?
Interesting. What about earning a paycheck or buying/owning property (real estate or motor vehicle)?
becuase nothing until now like this has never been done, it was after the shootings that these things came to light, and they are being used as a political tool, for promotion of gun legislation.
How does knowing who has guns promote gun laws? It just doesn't follow.
Wedding announcements with pics are the ones that cost money not the rest.
There is nothing wrong with letting the community know who has dangerous weapons.
well is there an answer to this question, ..why after a big school shooting, did an anti-gun newspaper start printing the location of gun owners,......it had not been done before.
its not a safety reason, that has been always used by the anti-gun lobby...its political tool, to show people how many guns are out there and "we need some control over them" so lets create a new law.
We can't make informed decisions with out information.

That information is not necessary to make an informed decision. If a person commits a violent crime we do not need to know everyone who owns a gun and their address we just need to know about the person's ownership of a weapon or at least the police will need to know that. I suppose that we could publish the persons and addresses of Democrats just be cause we need to have informed decisions with your reasoning.
This is a good thing.Its no ones business what constitutional rights someone chooses to exercise.The idea you even need a permit of concealed carry is ludicrous.Louisiana has passed a law that would make it a misdemeanor for a person 6mts and $10,000 fine to publish a permit holder name for those who own a permit or have applied a concealed carry permit.

There is no expressed or implicit right to privacy in the second amendment. So long as it is a matter of public record, newspapers have every right to publish the information regardless of whether one approves or disapproves.

That's the essential problem with "public records." The purpose of making government records public was to give the people a way to check and make sure officials weren't up to any shennanigans. The secondary use, destroying peoples lives by reporting negative information about common citizens to sell papers....is a creation of the news media, founded on the peoples desire to hear the latest gossip and judge others by it.
We can't make the records private without sacrificing our ability to double-check the government, but keeping them open allows abuses like this to occur.
What can we do?
