Another good reason all attempts at gun registration should be resisted.
The names and addresses of the two counties' permit-holding residents were obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. The website notes that the map does not indicate whether the residents own handguns, only that they are legally able to, and that the data do not pertain to rifles or shotguns -- which can be bought without a permit.....snip~
Good thing the list doesn't include Shotguns and Rifles. Hope they keep a watch out from now forward on that Crime stat with Home Burglaries and Home invasions.
These sorts of lists shouldn't exist in the first place.
Course these lists would then also be around for any invading force to access and seek out those that could be a problem too. Let alone our own Government.
Correct me if I am wrong, but everyone here seems to think that if the bad guys know you have guns, they will stay away. I would say the knowledge of gun ownership brings a certain type of thief. One who is looking for guns and a safe.
One thing that makes someone more bold is intel. If they know more about your residence then the one down the street, they are going to go after yours.
But I heard from many gun enthusiasts that gun actually deter criminals because they get afraid of being shot? How many times have we heard the idea that if everyone had guns then crime would drop? Now you want it on the other side where crime goes up? Is this Romnesia effecting society, or do you always take completely contradicting sides of an argument?
BTW you know what would solve the problem of theives coming into your house looking for a gun? Not having one for them to steal.
Newspaper sparks outrage for publishing names, addresses of gun owners - CNN.com
Personally, I want the bad guys to know there is a gun owner living in my house. Though I'll feel bad for my neighbor when they get robbed instead.
If a robber knows you have a gun in your house, he'll just wear armor (along w/his bringing his gun) and/or bring in extra armed help when he tries to rob it.
This is why civilians have to buy their guns from 3rd party vendors (i. e. gun shows) or illegally, to avoid being tracked.

That pretty well sums up my thoughts.It's hard to know what the editorial staff at this newspaper was thinking when they decided to expend the resources to put together this interactive map.
How do they think it serves the public interest to make a one stop shop for finding out who holds a gun permit in their neighborhoods? This info was part of the public record so anyone who wanted to know which neighbors had gun permits could do so already. Why was such a map unimportant prior to the Sandy Hook massacre?
It smacks of emotional opportunism, and unfairly puts a red "A" on the breasts of legal permit holders.
He'll wear armor?! :lamo
If the value of property obtained from the house far exceeds the total cost of robbing the home, it makes perfect sense.
While there are exceptions to everything, I suspect that if a robber had their choice to rob a home that they knew in advance was protected by an armed homeowner and the one which was not - they would not go out of their way to look for trouble from the armed homeowner. Now the one exception would be if they wanted the arms themselves.
If criminals had an sense, they wouldn't be criminals.
