Isn't posting CCW holders just like Julian Assange telling on the Government? WTF

Ya know, I personally don't give a shit if they publish my name, but what about the families of Police officers, Federal employees, Firefighters, Ex police, that people would have a Vendetta against. I say publish all the government employees names and address too. Or put this much effort in the birth certificate? I think this is unfair to gun holders privacy. I'd rather see registered sex offenders, and their offences rather than law abiding citizens that are NOT breaking any laws.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A suburban New York newspaper that sparked an uproar among gun enthusiasts by publishing names and addresses of residents holding pistol permits is now planning to publish even more identities of permit-toting locals.

Further names and addresses will be added as they become available to a map originally published on December 24 in the White Plains, New York-based Journal News, the newspaper said.

The original map listed thousands of pistol permit holders in suburban Westchester and Rockland counties just north of New York City.

Along with an article entitled "The gun owner next door: What you don't know about the weapons in your neighborhood," the map was compiled in response to the December 14 shooting deaths of 26 children and adults in Newtown, Connecticut, editors of the Gannett Corp.-owned newspaper said.

The next batch of names will be permit holders in suburban Putnam County, New York, where the county clerk told the newspaper it is still compiling information.

Some 44,000 people are licensed to own pistols in the three counties, the newspaper said. Owners of rifles and shotguns do not need permits, the newspaper said.
