Great job, Tim!  Everyone should call this guy and make sure he knows you are displeased about the disclosure of our names.

According to the data compiled at this page: http://handgunlaw.us/documents/CCWFAQApp.pdf permit holder information is not public in Arkansas.  But this would not appear to be correct.  Anyone know if there is a law on the subject?

We are trying to find out if any laws have been broken at this time.  The problem with the law is it says the Arkansas State Police has to make the database available to law enforcement agencies.  It doesn't say it can't make it available to anyone else. 

If anyone else knows of any laws have been broken by this, please post them!

What I think is going to be interesting is how long the Arkansas Times will stay in Publication considering that about 20% of his advertisers were on the list, not just any but the major donors.

Yeah, I heard that today...  Also, there are about 5,000 permit holders that aren't on that list because of its age.  I'm not on it.  But, that adds up to about 60,000 people who aren't happy with the Arkansas Times.  That is a BIG chunk of the total population of Arkansas.

It appears that he has removed the direct link to the file from the original blog.

If that was discussed elsewhere, sorry for the duplicate info, I missed it.

Sorry about that, TFred.  We have been very busy in Arkansas with this issue.  He took the link off Monday morning, and was on a talk radio show on Tuesday whining about death threats and the crazed gun crowd.  I believe he got the reaction he wanted and is the main reason for releasing the database.  We had legislation introduced today to make the database private, and it may be voted on this week. 

You can read lots of posts and news reports on http://www.ArkansasCarry.com.

This guy is a terrorist.  I also believe the death threats are made up.  If it is true, it is very unfortunate.  If some gun owners lost their cool, they played right into his hands.  If they did make threats, they should be arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Ah, thanks for the update!  I hadn't kept up.  We had a nearly identical incident here in Virginia in 2006/2007, I believe, except it was the actual newspaper's web site, and an editorial decision, not just one crazy employee.  The reaction was swift and furious, as expected.

The source for that database was a FOIA request to the State Police, and the Attorney General issued an opinion saying he believed it was illegal for them to release the entire list.  However, (and this is a big however) in Virginia, the applications are taken by the local courts, and are thus public record.  So newspapers in some jurisdictions go around to all the courts once a month, collect and publish the names of new applicants.

The legislators are about to pass a sham of a bill that purports to protect this information, but only from release by the State Police, leaving it open at the courts.  It's a waste of the paper it is printed on.

I noticed on the ArkansasCarry site that the information is still available on a web page called http://www.arkansasgunpermits.com/

They are using Google's AdSense program to make money on the dissemination of this information.

The last I checked, Google's Terms of Service were quite clear on forbidding any gun related web sites using their ads, in fact they rejected this very site as a violation of these terms.

I suggest you report this violation to Google, and their account and any unpaid funds they may have earned will likely be canceled!

I heard the guy on the radio Tuesday and he told his reason for posting it, saying that he felt hat people had the right to know who and if the person next to them was carrying or not.

 

He was saying that there were people on the list that should not have a CC and I would not argue that point but in the same respect, there are a lost of people driving cars everyday down the highway that should not have a drivers license as well

 
Statistically you have a better chance of being killed in an auto accident by a driver that is operating a vehicle on either a suspended or revoked license.

There are more people illegally carrying than legally carrying, and the criminals aren't on that list.

THEIR HOME ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER, no need to be polite, they are paying the bills for that disgusting rag and need to be held accountable.
EVERYONE that works there needs to have THEIR HOME PHONES/CELL PHONES & ADDRESS published across all the gun forums.
The only way to stop this is take the fight into their homes, they are hoping criminals KILL YOU, they are helping stalkers find their prey.
What disgusting foul evil creatures they are.
