New York state requires registration of all handguns, and that registration is linked to your concealed carry permit (with the first handgun on that permit).

So much for responsible journalism.

In Raleigh, one of our TV stations web editors published supposedly anonymous CCH permit holder address information. Of course, people living on sparsely populated roads were pretty much easy to identify.

In response, Grass Roots North Carolina initiated a boycott and published as much complete personal information about the reporter as could be found on the internet and in public record... He got the message.

The boycott lost the station one of their major advertisers, a car dealership.
