Writer Dwight R. Worley not shown as gun permit holder on Journal News internet map

Did some digging. From Dwight R. Worley's own piece at the Journal News website and Angry White Dude - Journal News reporter Dwight R. Worley owns a Smith & Wesson 686 .357 Magnum and has had a residence permit in New York City for that weapon since February 2011.

I went to the Journal News map. There is no red dot on his address showing that he is a permit holder.

To be fair, they may not have updated all of the info on that website yet. BUT, there are red dots shown in his area.

Now, you would think that the Journal News would want EVERYONE to be safe and sound and would put themselves front and center as an example. Mr. Worley seems to have been given a pass. It may important to watch who they decide to leave off that map as well as who they put on it.

So... there is an agenda here, eh? Great detective work pointing out, once again, the utter corruption of the agenda-driven media.

Excellent reporting. It would be amusing to call his newspaper's advertising department and try placing a full-page ad exposing this hypocrisy.



To: Libloather

The article they wrote listed the names of Concealed Weapons Permit holders, NOT legal firearms owners.......... Worley is not on the map because he obviously doesn't have a concealed weapons permit.......



To: Libloather

Email the guy who posted their addresses. What you found would be perfect for his site.



To: Hot Tabasco

The article they wrote listed the names of Concealed Weapons Permit holders That is incorrect. To create the map, The Journal News submitted Freedom of Information requests for the names and addresses of all pistol permit holders in Westchester, Rockland and Putnam. By state law, the information is public record.

To clarify, in New York, you need a permit to OWN a pistol, not just to carry one. There are several levels of permit, with the hardest to get being the carry permit.

Then I stand corrected.......my sincere apologies.



To: Libloather

“... The Journal News submitted Freedom of Information requests for ... all pistol permit holders in Westchester, Rockland and Putnam.” Alas, Mr. Worley lives in Queens County. Clever of him.

Alas, Mr. Worley lives in Queens County. Yep. BUT, there are red dots shown in his area. Just not one for him.

“and has had a residence permit in New York City for that weapon since February 2011” -an item just about impossible to obtain, especially with so late an issue date.



To: Libloather

I think this whole "outing" of gun owners, CCW, etc. is reprehensible. And turnabout is not fair play. It's equally as reprehensible.



To: Libloather

Has anyone posted the names and addresses of all the employees at the newspaper? How about their facebook or twitter account?



To: Portcall24

don't forget complete court records on all of them...Public records dontcha know!

The article they wrote listed the names of Concealed Weapons Permit holders, NOT legal firearms owners.......... NY requires a permit to own a handgun. Those were the names and addresses published ( except Dwight R. Worley's)
