Guns Gun nuttery: Publishing concealed carry permit list again inspires anger

Posted by Max Brantley on Wed, Jul 25, 2012 at 11:07 AM

Thanks to Romenesko for the heads-up:

A North Carolina TV station posted a searchable database of concealed carry permit holders. Gun nuts go after station, reporter, advertisers.

Hmm. Rings a bell.

The station did some enhancements to the database, such as building maps like the one above to show concentrations of permits.

Re: Intruder arrested on Governor's Mansion grounds

Several people sent links this morning to yet another odd performance by U.S. Rep. Tom Cotton, already distinguished by his opposition to replenishing to country's disaster aid money unless it can be taken out of some other recipient's hide.

Thanks to Clinton vet Ben Mays, a former member of the state Board of Education and a long-time critic of Arkansas school districts that spend execessively on athletics, for this nugget.

Circuit Judge Wendell Griffen, injured in a bicycle accident last week near his home, sent me an update this morning from his iPad.

Public for the first time, the woman who married Damien Echols discusses their relationship

For the vegetarian banh mi sandwich.

Our news partner Channel 4 has a news story that deserves repetition in full. More national headlines for the small people of Arkansas should follow directly.
