The Open Records Project blog notes an article from the Cybercast News Service about an Ohio newspaper under fire for outing gun owners.

On June 24, the Sandusky Register published the names, ages and home counties of almost 2,700 concealed carry permit holders.

Ohioans for Concealed Carry is asking that the paper remove the list, apologize, and fire Matt Westerhold, the managing editor of the Sandusky Register. Supporters of Ohioans for Concealed Carry are also contacting the newspaper’s advertisers.

The Buckeye Firearms Association is taking a similar position toward the paper.

The WikiFOIA has a section on Concealed Carry to keep track of stories like this from around the country.
