Inmates Using NY Paper’s Gun Article to Intimidate Guards

[ShotgunBlast]

Looks like in addition to mapping out which houses to hit, because of everyone's favorite NY newspaper corrections officers are getting harassed by inmates now.

Law enforcement officials from a New York region where a local paper published a map identifying gun owners say prisoners are using the information to intimidate guards.

Rockland County Sheriff Louis Falco, who spoke at a news conference flanked by other county officials, said the Journal News' decision to post an online map of names and addresses of handgun owners Dec. 23 has put law enforcement officers in danger.
"They have inmates coming up to them and telling them exactly where they live. That's not acceptable to me," Falco said, according to Newsday.

Classy.

If you follow that FoxNews abbreviated story to the original Newsday article You'll find that there's at least one Democrat that has seen the light because of this.

Legis. Aron Wieder (D-Spring Valley) called the publication of the list "irresponsible journalism" and said he now fears for his safety because the map broadcast that he does not have a gun license. At the news conference Friday morning, he handed a $150 certified check and a completed pistol permit application to Rockland County Clerk Paul Piperato.

"I never owned a gun but now I have no choice," Wieder said. "I have been exposed as someone that has no gun. And I'll do anything, anything to protect my family."

Well I'll be. He needs a gun for protection? Now why on Earth would he need a gun? Hope he doesn't buy on of those evil ones with those detachable thingys.

Guess he won't get presents from Bloomberg this year.
