Tennesseean database on all permit holders

Oddly this was attached to a splashy front page article on upcoming legislation which would allow carry in state parks. The article (I thought) was alarmist in intention while pretending to be balanced.

The link they provide to find all state handgun permit holders was also on page one. Sorta like a service don'tcha know so the "regular" folks will know who to shun or be afraid of.
 
I'm sure that my brother-in-law, who is a CHL holder in Tennessee, is just thrilled to hear about this.

Yes, I looked him up and yes, he is listed.
 
Everyone I've talked to has been thrilled to find out they were listed, including the doctor and businessman who carry to defend themselves from, in part, deranged patients and the occasional meth addict looking for money, respectively.

The publication of this list was intended to sway the current debate and to cause a chilling effect on people getting permits. Personally, I think we need to chill the Tennesseean.
 
Indeed, the link has been removed. Did they move it, or is it down? I can imagine any permit holder who had a subscription cancelled/threatened to cancel it.
