This does not make me a happy camper, whether they’re doing it or not isn’t the problem. It’s that someone would be stupid enough to even consider doing it.
Someone might also build a national database of newspaper editors, their family members, street addresses, criminal convictions, pets (or at least dogs, per local dog license laws), lawsuits involved in as a party (plaintiff, defendant, or witness), professional licenses, motor vehicle licenses, political campaign contributions, all real property owned by them, etc. That should all be publicly available information, whether by FOIA or ordinary things like the phone book.
I mean c’mon, inquiring minds want to know! No one could POSSIBLY have any objection to a big public database of all that information, and anyone who does is obviously too paranoid and unstable to be trusted to edit a newspaper!
I’m wondering at what point do the pitchfork and torch wielding masses decide enough is enough.
This is AWESOME…now the criminals will know who NOT to screw with

Hhhmmmm the internet, you may have to spend sometime but you can find just about anyone with the internet. It is actually really kinda of scary.
Some states have laws that make such information non-public and illegal to publish. This is the case in NC.
Nothing scary its on the Company website
are you talking about being illegal to publish information about people with conceal carry permits? or the Chuckle-heads at Civitas ?
Are there home addresses on their website? There is one big information website, and even without it just using google or bing can provide a lot of information on most people. So yeah, to me it is scary that about 30 minutes online can yield possible home addresses or other pertinent information for people who may have no business knowing it.
Texas passed laws years ago to prevent exactly this kind of silliness.
I’d be happy to throw this project of theirs right back in their face. A fair number of abused former spouses obtain carry permits. I’d prefer that the batterer not know that.
And retired Judges . . . and retired DA’s.
Illegal to publish information about concealed weapon permit holders.
no just the company info no home addresses, But I see what you’re saying Spokeo is like that and you have to tell them you dont want your info published
Sweet baby Jebus, if I was a retired judge I’d pack a SAW and hire a couple of PFC’s to hump ammo and spare barrels.
Don’t hold your breath, bread and circuses can be very distracting to the sheeple.
Call it an clerkship and then you don’t even have to pay your ammo mules. They’re in it for the learning experience… Just write an opinion or two a quarter. 
Most of the judges I know don’t carry and the majority of them are anti CCW…
I know a federal judge who had someone take shots at him at his home and he still doesn’t CC…
FL and TX are gonna be a LONG list. Might as well just publish the phone books.
From the article:
The newest project "examines the explosion of ‘conceal and carry’ gun permits across the U.S.,” wrote Jim Lawitz, Civitas’ director of content, in an e-mail first obtained by the Buckeye Firearms Association. “Through public records act requests, we will attempt to build state-by-state databases that list those who have the right to carry a concealed weapon.”
Bold black test:
Statistical data is easy and already readily available, at least in Texas. I’ll make it easy for them, they can find that info here on TX DPS site, under Reports & Statistics on the left menu: http://www.dps.texas.gov/rsd/chl/index.htm
Bold red text:
That would be all legally qualified individuals under current state CCW laws have the ‘right to carry’. It’ll be easier to list the disqualified people. If, of course, the bleeding hearts had the stomach for that.
Yep, Texas passed theirs in 2007. DPS has that info (name, DOB, addy, etc) and it would not be made available as public information. It is LEO use only.
