Thanks to the leftists at the Bloomington Herald-Times, criminals will now know which homes are armed and which ones will be easy pickings. In their moonbat zeal to shame those who dare exercise their constitutional rights into a progressive submission by publishing a database of Indiana CCW permits, they have enabled the nere-do-wells of Indiana to weed out those who can (and likely would) put up a fight.

Of course this also would alert criminals to find homes which likely have firearms contained within them. So in that case it would behoove one to invest in a secure method of storage for the firearms not carried around or kept available for home defense on a regular basis.

From the Herald Times:

Search our database of more than 318,000 gun licensees in Indiana.

So it appears they have compiled a STATEWIDE database of CCW permit holders.

One thought I do have on this is for folks to pay the $125 fee and obtain a lifetime CCW permit even if they don’t plan to carry a firearm. Nothing like bogus information to clutter up a database.

By the way, you must be a paying subscriber to the H-T to view the database. Also, a list of the databases published in the H-T is interesting.

• IU/Local Government/School Salaries
• Gun Permits
• Parking Tickets
• City Code Citations
• Property Transfers
• Restaurant Inspections
• Traffic Counts
• Weddings
• Performers at the Little Nashville Opry
• Election Campaign Contributions

Notice something missing from that list? How about a sex offenders database? Are sex offenders considered an acceptable segment of society by the Herald Times but not firearm owners? That must be the case because the Herald-Times is willing to tell everyone where the firearm owner lives but not the convicted child molester.

Just to be fair the Ryerson Rag doesn’t include a sex offenders database or link to the state database. Then again they are not publishing a list of CCW permit holders either.

UPDATE: Since  I do not have a subscription to the H-T to view the database, others viewed it and stated it just lists streets which people with gun permits are residing. Not exact addresses – so far. Which is deceiving because longer streets with more residences would obviously have more permit holders living on them.

In honor of the Bloomington lefties, I’m posting a video of what is one of  the most awesome personal defense weapons I’ve ever seen
