Seems like somerthing the Globe or Patriot Ledger would do, nothin like giving out all the addresses of LTC in Ma.....not like officers names would be listed
New York paper publishes names, addresses of legal gun permit holders
Map of gun owners published by New York newspaper
Using information gathered from Freedom of Information requests, a New York paper owned by Gannett published the names and addresses of legal handgun permit holders in two counties, Breitbart.com reported Monday.
"The newspaper didn't even feel it necessary to publish a rationale for that violation of privacy - publishing the names and addresses of gun owners makes them more vulnerable to robbery when they aren't at home, since criminals will know where the guns are," Ben Shapiro wrote.
The Journal News then posted a map showing where the gun owners live.
"The map indicates the addresses of all pistol permit holders in Westchester and Rockland counties. Each dot represents an individual permit holder licensed to own a handgun - a pistol or revolver. The data does not include owners of long guns - rifles or shotguns - which can be purchased without a permit. Being included in this map does not mean the individual at a specific location owns a weapon, just that they are licensed to do so," the Journal News said.
"Data for all permit categories, unrestricted carry, premises, business, employment, target and hunting, is included, but permit information is not available on an individual basis," the publication added.
Reaction to the article was not good.

They just made all those people targets. If/When one of those licence holders gets killed or has to kill an intruder "shopping" for guns the blood is literally on the papers hands.I hope the never have a peaceful nights sleep ever.
....or is the local pd going to confiscate the permit holders weapons for safeguarding like wat happened in LOwell (I think)?
EXACTLY along my line of thought...some scumbag can scope out neighbor X's house whom he now knows has a weapon and break in when they are not home and steal said weapon...thus having more guns on the street. Maybe I'm overreacting but you know people will think about doing it.They just made all those people targets. If/When one of those licence holders gets killed or has to kill an intruder "shopping" for guns the blood is literally on the papers hands.I hope the never have a peaceful nights sleep ever.

That didn't stop the Patriot Ledger from publishing the home address of one of our police officers on the front page.
No repercussions whatsoever......you think Marsha Coakley is going to do anything?
I am almost positive that the Eagle Tribune got a lot of flak for publishing a few Lawrence PD officers' addresses. This had to be around '04 or '05.That didn't stop the Patriot Ledger from publishing the home address of one of our police officers on the front page.

I forget the reason for them being published but it was shitty none the less.
