Newspaper publishes online map of gun permit addresses -- gun owners are unhappy about this

http://j.mp/Vg1rZv  (ABC)

   "Hundreds of residents in New York's Westchester and Rockland counties
    were surprised to find their names and addresses listed on a map
    posted by The Journal News on Sunday. Users can click any dot on the
    map to see which of their neighbors has a permit for a gun."

Very nicely done with Google Maps, using public record data.  I love it.
