The home of a gun owner, whose address was published by a New York newspaper, has been burglarized and a state lawmaker said it appears the burglars may have used the newspaper’s map to target the residence.
“Luckily the gun was locked up and no one was hurt,” Sen. Greg Ball said.
The residence in White Plains, was identified in an interactive map that identified the names and addresses individuals who have gun permits. It was published by The Journal News — a Gannett Co. newspaper.
The elderly homeowner, who legally owns weapons, was not at home at the time of the burglary.
“The police are doing a full investigation,” the unidentified man told NewsDay. Police said it appears the burglars targeted the homeowner’s gun safe.

Sue the paper..
Why do I have a feeling Obama was behind this move of the Journal doing his dirty work. Obama stands at a distance watching other jokers do his bidding..
It “appears” they “spun” the story that way…
You Do Gooder Liberals know ALL about Spinning the Facts or telling Half the Truth, But we know The “Holier than Thou” Liberal / Pharisees like to tell every one what their problems are and what is wrong with us Peons, GO look in the Mirror and see the Plank in your eye.
The gun control advocates will say this was all staged.
Please, oh please sue the pants off The journal news. It is your civic duty to not let these crime facilitators get away with aiding and abetting. Better yet, how about a class action lawsuit representing all the maligned parties.
