If we're listed at the courthouse, generally it's public information that anyone can look up and compile. On the contrary, I'm wondering how it could be illegal. Boy, the internet shrinks the world; in this case, it saves a trip to the county clerk's office.

Good point, Rich, if the perps are after guns. However If one were after guns, it might be better to invade/assault a dealer, equipped to deal with his safe--where there would be lots of them. The research to go after them a few at a time might not be worth the trouble and risk. If the listed owners got them for domestic protection, then the a crook would first have to endure the object of his plot being used to defend its home!

David, The criminal element in Upstate NY just a month ago did just that to a dealer.
