The newspaper (I think it was the Roanoke Times or something) not only published the list of names, but also addresses with the stated goal of "informing the people who around you own dangerous weapons," as if concealed carry holders were like sex offenders or something... It did not go over well, suffice to say. Interesting, something like this happened a few years ago in Virginia, caused quite the uproar.

It's a recycled newspaper idea, just like gun rags recycle articles. Across Indiana, Hoosier gun owners simply shrugged and went to the range. No one cared what the newspapers did. THEN the Internet happened and so much hell was raised in Virginia that its impact is felt several staes away. Behold, the Internets!

Didn't we go through this when the Virginia newspaper published the holders' addresses? I thought this was common knowledge among gunnies. I happen to live in the community that said newspaper "serves" (gag) and I've no doubt that it'll be a hit piece and anyone who contacts said cub reporter better be prepared to be misquoted and misrepresented.
