A NEW York state newspaper that created a public outcry when it published the names and addresses of residents with handgun permits is being protected by armed guards.
"The safety of my staff is my top priority," Journal News publisher Janet Hasson told The New York Times.
The newspaper last month published online maps with the names and addresses of pistol permit holders in two counties it covers. It sought the public records after the school shooting in nearby Newtown, Connecticut.
Some critics said the publication was an invasion of privacy and could put gun owners at risk.
Others compared it to lists of sexual predators or other criminals and said it was tantamount to presenting gun permit holders as wrongdoers.
Hasson said the newspaper knew the publication would be controversial, but that "we felt sharing information about gun permits in our area was important in the aftermath of the Newtown shootings".
