The Journal News caused an international stir when they released an interactive map of pistol permit holders names and addresses in Rockland and Westchester counties last Sunday, December 23. The editors have said they believe knowing where guns are is in the [STRIKE] public’s[/STRIKE] government's interest.The newspaper has also taken a strident editorial position in favor of strict gun control.

[update---Putnam County officials have since announced their intention to not comply with the Journal News' request for the names and addresses of pistol permit holders]

What a good idea. I have always believed that "concealed" means "concealed". It does not work if you let everyone know you are "concealed".
