Not real up on all of the FOIA but posting those adresses would seem too violate it, but like I said they may have a legal leg too stand on although it was a stupid thing too report..... And then too add the last statement about the author of it being a gun owner just makes it all good now doesn't it????? Fuggin idiots.....

Papers here in Ohio did the same thing 5-6 years ago after CCW became legal. I believe it's illegal now for them to do that. I think it was added and those records were labeled confidential in the castle doctrine law.

Joe not sure how new York law reads but I would think the newspaper would have their legal dept buy off on it before letting their ass hang out there.....

This is off of the New York State website....

Protection of privacy
One of the exceptions to rights of access referenced earlier states that records may be withheld when disclosure would result in "an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy" (§87(2)(b)).
Unless otherwise deniable, disclosure shall not be construed to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy when identifying details are deleted, when the person to whom a record pertains consents in writing to disclosure, or when upon presenting reasonable proof of identity, a person seeks access to records pertaining to him or herself.
When a request is made for records that constitute a list of names and home addresses or its equivalent, the agency is permitted to require that the applicant certify that such list will not be used for solicitation or fund-raising purposes and will not sell, give or otherwise make available such lists to any other person for the purpose of allowing that person to use such list for solicitation or fund-raising purposes (§89(3)(a)).
Since 2010, agencies have been prohibited from intentionally releasing social security numbers to the public.

I guess you could say that releasing the info could warrant someone using it for fundraising purposes????? It's a stretch but thta's what popped up in my head right off the bat..... I'm off too see what Ohio has as well.... :smiley_coolpeace:

Go figure their (Ohio's) is experiencing troubles :smiley_clap:

The Journal News of West Nyack, N.Y., has hired armed security guards to defend its offices after receiving a torrent of phone calls and emails responding to the paper's publication of the names and addresses of area residents with pistol permits.

RGA Investigations, a private security company, "is doing private security at on location at the Journal News as a result of the negative response to the article," according to a police report first obtained by the Rockland County Times (Nanuet, N.Y.) and shared with POLITICO. The guards "are armed and will be on site during business hours through at least January 2, 2013."

Last month, in the wake of last month's elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn., the Gannett-owned Journal News published interactive maps showing the names and addresses of pistol permit holders in New York's Westchester and Rockland counties. Conservatives and gun rights advocates publicly protested the paper's move; on Monday, the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association called for a nationwide boycott of the paper's advertisers, calling it a “wanton act” that “has put in harm's way tens of thousands of lawful license holders."

The Journal News continues to host the map on its website and has said that it will soon add a map listing all pistol permit holders in Putnam County.

According to the Clarkstown Police report, filed today, Journal News editor Caryn McBride had "previously reported a large amount of negative correspondence in response to the media outlet's publication of local gun permit holders." McBride shared one email with the police officer from "an unknown subject who wondered what McBride would get in her email now." The officer told McBride the email did not constitute an offense.

The Rockland County Times, a Journal News competitor, led its exclusive report citing the juxtaposition of targeting gun ownership while hiring armed guards.

"Guns are good for the goose but NOT for the gander," Dylan Skriloff, the Rockland County Times' associate publisher & editor-in-chief wrote.
