Map: Where are the gun permits in your neighborhood?

[zapfbroad]

So reads the title on this page posted in true gestapo fashion.... how long before some genius thinks to do this here...

 

"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."

That is just wrong in same many ways. 
 
It is only like they are applying Sex Offender ideas to gun owners.
 
One it will show criminals houses to watch that they might be able to steal firearms. Edited December 25, 2012 by vontar

Yeah I thought what that commie rag outta memphis did was bad enough but this is just extra icing.

[GlockSpock]

With that much concentration of gun carriers it is an absolute miracle that there isn't a blood bath on every street!

[Wingshooter]

Maybe it will have the opposite effect of showing that almost everyone has one, lol. Doubt it, just wishful thinking.

In Florida, I think it was 6-8 years ago, they removed those records from the "public".

Interestingly, out local rag, Tampa Bay Times, solution to these mass murders is

1. Ban assault and semi-automatic weapons

2. Make public the concealed carry list.

[Hershmeister]

It continues to baffle me how this is relevant to the public interest How about a map of all people who have had their drivers license suspended yet own a car with registered plates. Or vice Versa

[Dave Nowlin]

How about a list of all people who drink and own drivers licenses.  I probably have a better chance of being killed by one of them.

If it doesn't strike home to you that there is an agenda, what else will?

[gun sane]

This is interesting.  Zoom in to New York City and you will see there's only a handful of permits.  Go north off of Manhattan Island and you'll see a definite boundary where permit holders are crowded in.  Must be a Ziegfried Line of sorts.

[itchytriggerfinger]

Well our data is already out there; it's public record.  I moved here 2 years ago, and my name is posted here: http://www.commercialappeal.com/data/gunpermits/

 

I'm a software engineer and have spent much time in the geocoding sector.  Though our full address isn't in the record, it wouldn't take much to match the information given with the numerous white-pages out there to come up with a map.

The difference between ours & the one the OP Posted was mapping.

 

The TN one doesn't list your actual address, and you must search by last name.  The OP's original mapping one, you don't.  Pick a dot and click.

 

If they did this in TN ... I wouldn't know what to think.

[Dave Nowlin]

It's not the Zeigfreid Line.  It's the Bloomberg Line.  After all he doesn't worry about the peasants, he has bodyguards.

That's so wrong on so many levels.....some day they will publish the fact that you have purchased guns and list you're address regardless if you have a permit or not.

I was on my phone earlier and couldn't get my full thoughts in on this.\

We need to call that the Bloomberg/Siegfried Freedom line.

BTW, the media pretends to not understand those are not the firearms/citizens they need to be concerned with.


You know, if someone was attacking the 1st amendment I bet they would sing a totally different tune.

Let's see if they can take it as well as they dish it out.  This blogger tracked down the publisher and outed her name, address, phone #s and credit card buying habits.

I have one of the credit monitoring services and thought it strange when it reported the public record of my HCP on my credit report? Edited December 25, 2012 by swim615

[Garufa]

And people are worried that gun control is going to come from the government.

I believe she would, per lifestyle She buys from the internet, browses mail catalogs, subscribes to magazine and buys from mail catalogs.

Roger that.

[mcurrier]

I view their actions as tantamount to shouting "fire" in a crowded movie theater. The information may have been public record, but they are highly irresponsible in publishing it, potentially criminally so if it causes harm to anyone directly or indirectly.

New York newspaper faces backlash after publishing map of gun permit holders http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/12/25/new-york-newspaper-faces-backlash-after-publishing-map-gun-permit-holders/

[vontar]

The newspaper separately noted that the reporter on the story "owns a Smith & Wesson 686 .357 Magnum and has had a residence permit in New York City for that weapon since February 2011."

How did she get one when so many other people can't not? (guessing money)
