Troy Daily News latest to violate privacy of CHL-holders
The Troy Daily News completed this story by listing the name, county of residence, and age of concealed handgun license-holders issued by the Miami County sheriff's office. They join a list of "sour grapes" press outlets which also includes the Warren Tribune Chronicle (Trumbull Co.), Elyria Chronicle-Telegram (Lorain Co.), and Sidney Daily News (Shelby Co.). OFCC is also aware of a number of other newspapers which have made requests and are building lists of CHL-holders in their counties, but have not (yet?) published them. What we have here is a case of monumental hubris. Ohioans For Concealed Carry covers it pretty well. If you want to contact the papers to complain, there are phone numbers in the article. They likely won't change their mind, but hearing from us should hopefully raise their awareness. |
