Have they published the names and addresses of the armed guards and put their locations on a map?

Isn't this the truth distilled, right there.

I am skeptical that more people with guns are the answer for this newspaper staffs' security, to paraphrase our sorry excuse for a President.

Far too many sheeple are willing to ignore this sort of nonsense, and that's why we are where we are.
I commented on their article, as I have done before. They are afraid of what they did, but plan on publishing more names. I told them that they are playing with fire. If anyones family geys hurt or killed, you never know what can happen. There are many crazies out there and this is not a subject one should be messing around with for publicity.
The further one gets up the chain away from the writer, editor, publisher, to say senior company executives, and the more personal data that is accumulated from the web and collated into an easily accessed database, with personally identifiable information, the more likely this newspaper is going to see the error of its ways. Particularly chilling is the FB data the blogger pulled down, identifying the publisher's children by name, their universities and travel schedules, etc. It is ALL out there for the taking. A CEO, CFO or division executive who is outed in similar fashion is not going to tolerate this kind of social media backlash resulting from a completely misguided and wrong headed editorial decision. Social media can be a game changer. I too abhor violence or vigilantism, but activism and fighting fire with fire are ok in my view. Just my 2 cents.

As the newspaper's primary motivation for its despicable, irresponsible decisions must have been an increase in sales and advertising revenue, how has this worked out for them? Will any advertisers drop them, or will some advertisers suffer from a boycott of their products/services?
If the newsrag's profit has increased, is much of it being spent on security and attorney's fees to defend it from lawsuits?
As somebody stated, there is nothing funny about exposing personal data to identity theft possibilities.
Maybe this watershed event will permanently freeze any similar contemplations by the leftists working at the larger east, west coast Rags, and in Chicago, Madison WI and at the solidly leftist Minneapolis Star "Tribunal".

I don't know how the laws regarding armed security guards are in NY, but in FL, they are limited to a couple of models of 9mm pistols and 1 model of revolver in .357 mag. They also aren't supposed to use it in extremes cases such as they have just been killed.

I think the media seems to think they are on a higher level than the rest of us. See the president gets heavy armed protection, the media / news now gets it but when it comes to us common folk and our kids nope we're just evil gun owners or sheeple. We need to play dead. How does this not anger everyone? I believe that a lot of anti gun common people just feel they couldn't bring themselves to use a firearm to protect themselves if their life depended on it so they shove the only thing they feel they can do "gun control" down our throats. This is a personal safety issue folks. We need to keep fighting for our rights relentlessly.

Think for a second why they did this, and if you were in their situation, would you do the same?
Well, gee, if I were receiving as many death threats as they are (anthrax scare, anonymous emails), I'd hire armed guards, too. They don't deserve death threats, which only "prove" to the other side is what stupid, ignorant and violent morons gun owners "are," and only throw fuel on the gun-grabbing fire.
I'm sure somebody will come along with "they brought it on themselves," but NOBODY needs to be threatened with illegal action.

In ALL of the articles on this it is clear that the paper did not receive death threats. The police and security both state the none of the letters contained any threats.

Rather that just posting their addresses, since income/tax returns are public record I wonder if anyone has thought of posting their addresses, plus income? After all, if they are going to post addresses that link to valuable commodities like firearms and raise the profile of those addresses for burglaries, isn't it fair that their addresses are linked with relevant income information?

So you are comfortable with recognizing the terms "assault pistols" and "high capacity magazines"?
If you are trying to be sarcastic, then sarcasm of ignorance doesn't actually make us look any smarter than those at which we are poking fun.

Source on "death threats" and "anthrax"?

Dylan Skriloff, "The Journal News is Armed and Dangerous", Rockland County Times, 1 Jan 2013.
There are two classes of "outted" permit holders who are really peeved:
o jail guards in the counties covered by Journal News are getting calls at home by inmates who now know where they live, and
o women under death threat who have moved and gotten pistol permits are afraid their stalkers are just a mouse click away.
I think the newspaper screwed up big time and is trying to divert attention by crying people are really, really mad at us and wrapping their sorry butts in the 1st Amendment.
