Handgun Carry Permit Database

[Guest m&pc9]

I used scourge being nice lol I kinda rattled it off and didn't feel like justifying myself to the guy. I just wanted him to know I was pissed and doing something about it.

Feel free and feel free to add or subtract. I'm gonna make sure every range and gun shop knows about this starting in the AM.

Do you agree to send it to his home?

[Louisb]

If not for him this information would be blocked and this information would be private and NOT subject to TN open records law.

Think that will be reintroduced in legislature this year.

[Guest 270win]

I think the editors' names and addresses should be published for all to see. Also try to get their rap sheets. It can all be done with classified ads or better yet the internet. Throw this garbage back in the Commercial Appeal's face. I thought pretty low of their paper around election time for the obvious Obama slant, now I won't even buy it for the sports' section.

I think the rare 1 out of 200,000 permits going bad for a violent crime is a pretty good %. Why shouldn't these so called journalists have to get a permit from the government?

Because the First Amendment to the Constitution gives them the right to...oh, wait, that can't be it, because they think the Second Amendment is meaningless. It must be something else....

BTW, has anyone done a search to see how many, if any, of their staff members have permits? What about other "anti-" media types?

I changed my address a few months ago and it doesn't have my current address.

Of course this is not an up to the moment live link to the DOS, I imagine the Commercial Appeal got the info at some point a few months ago and developed this database on their own.

Might want to contact your legislators about..

HB0053 Handgun Permits - As introduced, makes information contained in handgun carry permit applications and renewals, information provided to agencies to investigate applicant, and records maintained relative to the permit application confidential and creates Class E felony of unauthorized publication of permit information or records.

Fine by me. As long as nobody is threatening anybody or anything. I just want it to be illegal to publish that info.

[Guest 270win]

Publish names, addresses, DOB, any information on these hot shot journalists. Even home phone numbers if you've got them. They need to get a taste of their own medicine.

[bteague2]

****ing ****bags...

[Guest SUNTZU]

Well, I couldn't find my permit.

[Guest TN_Mike]

Yep, my wife and I are both on the list. If it doesn't find you, just enter your last name and hit search.

I don't like that this info is out there. Seems like a good way to alert criminals where they might find some guns.

On a plus note there are 15 HCP holders living in my neighborhood.

Still nothing.

[Guest steve24]

I'm in there, along with all my friends who are permit holders.

I took a look @ the Commercial Appeal site again this morning and the street name of permit holders have been removed. So now if someone is looking for guns to steal they have to paste the 1st and last in to the white pages.

Just fired off an email to Matthew Hill about HB0053. With Naifeh out of the Speaker's office, maybe we'll actually get something done. Hell, I think I'm even going to email Kent Williams about it and see if he'll speed that bill along.

Just saw that. It's a start, but I want it ALL gone. There is no need for a newspaper to publish that kind of information PERIOD!

[EMTRN]

I just sent an e-mail to the editor. I also noticed that I was able to find almost every member of my police dept. All a criminal would have to do is type in our name and he has our address, even if our phone/address is unlisted. Granted it would not be hard to find out where we live, but let's not make it any easier.

[Guest db99wj]

Yay, i'm in there...oh wait....

[gfd_703]

I have called John Tanners office to see if we can get some heat from above. I have called everyone I know that has a permit to piss them off and to get them to call everyone they know to get them pissed. My Representatives have been contacted, waiting for call backs. The argument I am using is that I want to keep guns out of criminals hands. I tell them that this is a golden opportunity for criminals to obtain firearms through theft. I am going to wait until midnight to call the people from the Commercial Appeal just for effect.

As far as searching just put in city and nothing else, could not find my wifes because I used Pam not Pamela.

[SkWaShDeM]

I just got off the phone with Matthew Hill about this, I'm impressed with his response times. I emailed him at 1:33 EST this afternoon, and he called me back at 3:17 pm while I was out running errands. He called me back within 10 minutes or so of my response to his call.

He said he was supportive of HB0053, and said if it cleared committee, he would definitely vote yes on it. He also said that he was pretty optimistic about the bill getting through the committee and out to the floor of the assembly for a vote.

[bubbiesdad]

Me neither.

Found three with my name, none of them me though.

[Guest sling]

It makes me wonder how exactly this works...

It has me listed however it doesnt have my address.

Just my town and DOB.
