A CARE Package for Christian

Extra police patrols were ordered Tuesday at the home of a newspaper editorial writer after a suspicious package was delivered there following a storm of criticism of a column he wrote about concealed weapons permits...

Trejbal's column Sunday was accompanied by an online database that listed the names and addresses of more than 135,000 Virginians who are licensed to carry concealed weapons...

Sisson said police will make extra patrols around Trejbal's house "until we feel there's no threat."

Ol' Christian seems a mite jumpy. There's no indication the package was intended as a threat. Think he might be having second thoughts on endangering his countrymen to get some cheap attention? And "extra patrols"? Why waste police resources defending someone who obviously considers himself too...French to defend himself? Does he really expect another man to endanger himself doing what he will not?

Say Uncle has been following another paper outing the names of CCW holders.

So far, he has updates here and here .

Looks like the paper took the names down. I wonder if protesting to advertisers had anything (everything) to do with that.

As hard as it is to believe, I think these people were actually astonished at the uproar. I think they were ignorant of the whole Christian Trejbal mess. I may be wrong, and you're free to disagree, but in my experience, many reporters and editors actually are this ignorant about their subject matter.

From the People Who Gave Us Christian Trejbal...

...Meet Tommy Denton.

Quixotic as it may be right now, I propose that we begin thinking about invoking the Constitution's Article V and repeal the Second Amendment.

Right, Tommy.

But I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the prescience of the Founders. They anticipated a threat to Liberty from within as well as without. The Second Amendment was designed to deal with both.

Shedding Light on Christian Trejbal

I can hear the shocked indignation of gun-toters already: It's nobody's business but mine if I want to pack heat.

Au contraire. Because the government handles the permitting, it is everyone's business.

"Au contraire." Figures he'd use French.

Readers are beating this odious punk up pretty good over in the article's comments section. Hopefully it'll result in some canceled subscriptions.

And the Christian Trejbal Award Goes To...

..."Criminal Justice" reporter Mike McWilliams, Publisher Mike Beck, and News Editor Teresa Thorpe of The Iowa City Press Citizen, for irresponsibly, and with hatred aforethought, printing the names and addresses of Johnson county concealed weapon permit holders (I'll not directly link to that list here).

Must a person who got their CCW because they have cause to fear someone finding them get hurt or killed before "authorized journalists" are held accountable for their actions?

CCW holders aren't the only people with addresses that can be posted, but I don't fight that way.
