Re: “Pistol Packing People”

Cue Sinatra singing, "Call me irresponsible..." Irresponsible journalism, hands down. Not illegal, but unethical. There are a lot of things I'd like to know about my neighbors. Just because a newspaper can get its hands on a database and share it with the world doesn't mean they should. The only names that should have been printed are those of the individuals who chose to speak to the paper. A number of these CCW permit holders may have obtained a permit because of a threat to their life. What does the Journal think about broadcasting their information? Take this quote from your own article and apply it, please: ' "Because, you tell your best girlfriend who's sittin' in the beauty shop tellin' her best girlfriend and next door is a drug dealer's girlfriend and she tells him that you have one, so they watch you and the first dark night you come out of a corner shopping center and head for your car, well, they're gonna mug you and take your gun." ' Maybe no one on the list will be mugged. What about a home break-in while they're out? What about stalkers? A little forethought would have been best before printing this article.
