After they reported the names and addresses of legally registered gun owners they are now themselves hiding behind armed guards. Sounds a bit hypocritical to me. It was also reported today that an elderly registered gun owners home was targeted and broken into due directly to the interactive map they made public for criminals to use. I for one am a big supporter of the 1st amendments rights, but this group of people has now put innocent peoples lives in danger with their actions. I wonder how long it will take before someone decides to make a legal case against them if someone gets hurt or even worse killed because of the lack of judgment on their part.

What's next, targeting homes with Rottweilers? Most criminals are smart enough to case a property before entering and knowing when the residents aren't home. They probably just waited for them to leave then helped themselves. Guns are stolen from homes all the time, and these morons just gave the criminals a map to their front door. Thirty years ago when I was 22 I shared a house with a friend and had an extensive gun and camera collection. Witnesses saw a man back his car into my driveway shortly after I left for work, load up many items into his trunk then drive away. One of my neighbors got his license plate number and he was arrested an hour later, but none of my items were with him. It went to trial, and because he hid all of the stolen stuff the jury let him walk because there wasn't enough evidence. Ten years later about 100 miles south of where I lived, a man and a woman were arrested for attempted bank robbery. In the car was one of my rifles and one of my cameras. The woman was the former girlfriend of the guy they arrested for breaking into my house, but because he was already aquitted he couldn't be re-tried on the charges. My point is, they know when you aren't home and if there is something there they want, they will get it regardless of the risk involved.

The editor of that paper should race some type of charges for his actions. Like Gorilla I'm all for the 1st but when lives are at stake, then there conduct must be accountable. This "gun map" has literally given any criminal a shopping list of possible weapon stashes. Lucky this gentlemen had a quality gun safe. I fear this wont be the case all the time.

I don't need to elaborate on how i feel about this, as y'all already know my opinion on guns... Gorilla, I agree with you (imagine that! write the date!!) that was the most stupid thing i have ever seen any news agency do... they not only pinpointed all the homes with guns... but also all the homes that had no guns, thus making them vulnerable to armed attacks... these people should be sued, and jailed! they should be put out of business for this stupidity.
