Fox News<\/a> reports that a national chain of newspapers is planning to build a broad database of concealed carry permit holders as if that means something. Maybe if they wanted to do something useful, they’d build a state-by-state database of people who have CCW permits and have committed a crime. It’d be a pretty short list because the whole point is to only have honest law-abiding people with a sanction by the states to carry concealed weapons in public.<\/p>\n

The plan, laid out in an email from a top editor at North Carolina-based Civitas Media, could be similar to a controversial project a New York state newspaper carried out in 2012 which included an online map that identified gun owners in two counties by name and address. Civitas’ database project was detailed in a Jan. 19 e-mail to newsrooms across the chain, which has papers in 11 states, including Ohio, Illinois and Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

The newest project “examines the explosion of \u2018conceal and carry\u2019 gun permits across the U.S.,\u201d wrote Jim Lawitz, Civitas\u2019 director of content, in an e-mail first obtained by the Buckeye Firearms Association. \u201cThrough 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.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The legislators and the courts have already determined that there is no “right” to carry a concealed weapon – hence, the licensing requirements. Like driving a car isn’t a “right” If it was a “right” we wouldn’t need permission. Obviously, Jim Lawitz isn’t a scholar, and I’m guessing that he thinks “rights” come from the government. This is what happens when utter morons inject themselves into discussions they don’t understand.<\/p>\n

If I wanted to find out who in my neighborhood has a CCW, I’d file my own FOIA, but then, I’m not a lazy, stank-ass hippie hand-wringer who doesn’t know how to file a FOIA and I don’t demand that I be spoon-fed the ingredients for my nightmares by a compliant left-leaning media. I’d prefer that all of my neighbors have CCW permits, that way I’d know that I’m surrounded by law-abiding citizens who have cleared a rigorous background check and handgun training for whatever weapons they might own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
