Say Uncle, Instapundit, and Steve Gill takes on the Tennessean newspaper
All hell has broken lose with a decision by the Tennessean newspaper to publish a searchable state wide database of Concealed Carry Weapons permit holders in Tennessee. You can find it here.
Noted First and Second Amendment website Say Uncle has taken the lead in challenging the decision of the Editor and Publisher of the Tennessean to make public information that many people in Tennessee feel is just as private as their medical information.
Instapundit weighs in here. Steve Gill is primed and ready for his Wednesday radio program.
Other than the harassment of those on the list, what purpose is achieved by making this private information public?
Showing that the First Amendment is just as important as the Second. Also, helps me know who of my friends might be packing, so I can avoid telling them they dress ugly.
