What is the point of putting those names out there? Are they hoping these people will be shamed into turning them in or something? I mean really, what's the point?

I've never been 100% sure, honestly. The Commercial Appeal here in Memphis did it a few years back after a permit holder was involved in a bad shoot. They got so much backlash they ended up taking down the addresses and such. Names and DOB are still in their little database though. I think it's just Lib "journalists" playing the "all guns are bad" card and trying to demonize law abiding gun owners. It's an agenda like all their other little games.

Hey brother, you know me, like a bad penny!

Commercial Appeal pulled that crap and still does that.  More people should have published addresses of the people responsible for these lists.  Respect is a two way street.  If you don't respect me, I don't respect you.

Publishing these lists can be extremely dangerous for some people.  Some of these people have permits because they are hiding from someone dangerous like an ex-husband.

It’s good they are taking a stand, but the paper will just get a court order.

OK.. so be it. Doesn't mean they won't look like total dicks in the process.

and it will cost them some money.  I know pocket change to them but still.

Hmm maybe they hope the non-gun owners will attack the Gun Owners ? :ugh: doesnt sound like a good plan.
