The Journal News, a newspaper based in White Plains, New York, published an online map of the locations of handgun permit owners in Westchester and Rockland counties. What amazed me is the number of people in two suburban New York counties who own handguns--33,614.
Although the permits are public record, gun owners were outraged. Threats were made against reporters, and what is really sick, the schools of reporters’ kids were published online.
Gun owners said they were worried that people who would steal guns now had access to where the guns were.
But wait, isn’t the whole idea that if somebody comes into your house to steal something and you have a handgun, you can blow him away? Isn’t that the point? What am I missing here?
