Roanoke Times Update
Right to privacy, my ass.
Let me start by saying that the paper was irresponsible. I think public records should be public. I do not think concealed weapon carry permits should be part of the public record. That story was a testament to why it should not be public.
That being said. The criminals they were talking about could have found these folks by looking at the local appraisal district web sights. Just type a name and the words appraisal district in on google and see what you get.
I sort of want people to know that I’m packing. But not that way. I respect the privacy of those who don’t feel the same way I do. These records should be private or at least controlled.
And these are the self same people screeding that the Patriot Act and NSA are ‘invading’ peoples privacy. Hypocrisy thy name is Democrat.
At around the 5 minute mark of the tape, Lucy Dalglish from the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press gets it all wrong. She justifies printing the names of gun owners because she thinks owning a gun is a privilege.
I wonder how she would feel if the right to free speech and freedom of the press was regarded in the same manner?
I’m starting to come to the realization that we would have been better off if the Confederacy had won the Civil War. Liberal nonsense is creeping into the south and its only a matter of time when it gets to the point when enough is enough.
Owning firearms is a right. The government is already overstepping its bounds by tracking law abiding citizens exercising their freedom. The right should also extend to carrying concealed weapon.
Damn! Sing it Kuso!
Sounds like these fellow CHL holders will be very wealthy after their upcoming no-lose lawsuit against the state.
The whole premise behind CHL is just that, CONCEALED!
Concealed means that No one knows knows thet you are carrying.
Think about this,
Reverse the situation.
If i took out an ad in my local newspaper that said,
“I have a concealed carry license,lots of guns and ammo,and here is my name and address,come and get some”,
the newspaper would not run my ad.
They would call police as soon as i hung up the phone.
They would be on me like the ATF on Koresh!
also if i were to publicly announce at a mall,"I have a gun”,same results.
How can the newspaper get away with doing just that.
They printed a list of all of the people who have guns & ammo,and their names and addresses.The Newspaper and the state are both responsible for violating privacy and the 4th Amendment.
We CHL holders are law abiding citizens ,we have gone through extensive background checks,fingerprinting,classroom and field training.
CHL holders are also held to a higher level of liability in legal matters simply because we know the law.
If you think the 2nd Amendment applies only to the National Guard, then you must also believe that the 1st Amendment only applies to the Government Printing Office.
Logic is completely beyon these Gun-Fearing-Wussies. Honest, legal gun-owners aren’t the problem. Its the criminals who actually use their guns illegally that are the problem. DUH!!!
I’ve quit arguing with these clowns. I just remind them that Conservatives own more guns than Liberals and most of us have military training and experience.
Meanwhile. I continue to stockpile military caliber ammunition.

The Democratic Party can go to Hell!
That woman is worried about her ex-husband finding her. Well, now he’s most likely seen her on TV and knows where to find the information now. If you fear for your life, why go on national TV? Chances are, her ex wouldn’t have known to check the computer for a news paper to find her.
