I Did Not Know That

From the New York Times (emphasis mine):

Tennessee is one of 19 states that allow the public to have access to gun permit information, according to the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. At least 21 states keep such information confidential.

Sounds like we're slacking.

At least a few of the states that now have closed CCW records started with open records. When newspapers abused their access by publishing entire lists, the laws changed.

As they should. Newspapers forgot a lesson learned in childhood- abuse it and lose it.
