Or if you were to work in a place where the VPRI is one of the biggest anti firearm advocates in the country, like I do.

The Journal News...What a stupid name. It's grammatically incorrect.

Too bad so sad? It's public record, find another place to work.

I'm sure you could acquire it, via public record.

Or, just look them up on whitepages.com

Part of the issue is should this information be public record.

I don't have a LAN line and don't live in Loudon anymore. It's old info.

Even though, for the time being, all that information is public record, it is still not morally acceptable for all of it to be compiled in such a manner. Marking and fingering law abiding citizens is something that criminals and terrorists do, and something that should not be done by a newspaper.

Jobs are hard enough to come by lately, you take what you can get that serves your needs. Being shot down by an employer for no other reason than you own a firearm is idiotic. If you can't legally be fired due to the fact that you own a firearm, why should you be disqualified for employment because of the same?

Would you really want to work for someone like that though? They are probably doing you a favor.
