Gawker publishes a list of NYC gun owners

[king october]

Gawker is literally as lunatic fringe as the God Hates Fags groups. Harassing people that they disagree with ideologically.

No, I understood you perfectly.. I agree you don't need to conceal carry... and maybe you are right, the list is outdated.

So why not post a picture of your guns? (identifiable as in, write newcastlefan on/next to it). They should be in your home right? I'm just curious what you are packing..

i have a walther ppk (480); s&w 629 44mag and several colt diamondback specials (I collect them). The Walther is in my locker at the range downtown currently as it's my competition gun and i use it for training. The others are in my safe deposit box in NJ because people steal guns in nyc and i'm not giving my collection or my 44mag to any assholes here.

in my apt my defensive weapon of choice is this 10" cast iron skillet i keep by the door (unless I'm making a grilled cheese sandwich. its far more effective than a gun and it's totally legal to defend against an intruder with a deadly frying pan.

or someone will do as they did to the Journal News and publish the name and address of the paper's employees since that's public record also...

Damn you Tax records! I say we boycott.

Wonder how this would go down if a paper listed all the Jews living here or there. . . . .

i thought the number is like 25% of residents, so you can just pick one out of every 4 people

a premises license in NYC would prohibit you from storing your guns in NJ. They have to be on the premise of the address listed in NYC, except when you transport them to the range. forget it.

i have licenses in both states, the guns in NJ are registered in NJ, and i shoot in both states because NYC and NJ do not exchange rights. All it takes is two residences. you're trying way too hard; i can see the smoke from here.

do you really think people do not have this issue? i'm not the first person. this is all worked out long ago.

you are so lame.

genius, since you read so well how about looking up sect 400.04.6 covering transport.

you really redefine lame. go play with yourself

[renchfrieswith]

I would be on that list if I lived in NY.

I would be on that list if I lived in NY.

My name and address was posted after I got my CCW. A Northern Ohio paper wanted to punish people who followed that law, qualified and paid the state for said "privilege."

It creeped me out and the laws were later changed, but I recognized what it was intended to do. In Ohio, one doesn't need a permit to buy or own a pistol. So this wasn't even meant to discourage gun owners, it was meant to intimidate law abiding citizens who took classes, proved they are able to shoot anbd understand the law, passed a background check (Federal and State) and have to renew every 4 (now 5) years.

Guess how many crimes were committed by the Ohioans who were on that newspaper's list. 0.0.

PS: For you anti-gun people who are out of the loop; in NY State, you need a permit to own a single shot hunting pistol like this:



You only need to be 18 years old (no permit) to buy this:



You can lie to yourselves all you want, but publishing these names had absolutely NOTHING to do with preventing crime or violence.
