I of course think it should be private information, and many lawmakers are now pushing legislation through to make it private, or at least against the law to publish that info. IF this stuff is public record the newspaper did nothing at all wrong by publishing this stuff in their public paper. In bad taste? Yes. Illegal? No. If you have an issue with this don’t go after the paper, they were within their rights. Go after law makers and get this stuff removed from public record. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/downstate-paper-publishes-names-addresses-of-pistol-permit-holders/265923)._
