Washington, DC (TLS). The Liberty Sphere has learned that the Attorney-General of the state of Virginia has issued an opinion concerning the practice of some newspapers of publishing the names of concealed gun owners. Virginia Attorney-General Bob McDonnell issued an advisory opinion stating, 'Use of concealed carry permit information is limited to law-enforcement personnel for investigative purposes. Identities and locations of crime victim and witness permittees should be protected in the interest of public safety.'
Thus, the names and address of Virginia residents who apply for concealed handgun permits will no longer be available under the Freedom of Information Act.
Reporter Christian Trejbal of the Roanoke Times created a firestorm of controversy after publishing the database of concealed carry permit holders. So strong was the public outrage that the newspaper took down the database from its website just two days after its publication.
Observers of Virginia politics stated that elected officials in the state are gearing up for legislation to be introduced next year that would effectively bar news outlets from publishing the names and addresses of concealed gun owners. The first step in that process would be to get an opinion from the state's Attorney-General.
The fact that Attorney-General McDonnell's advisory opinion clearly refutes the practice of publishing the database suggests that the legislature now has the green light to pass a bill forbidding anti-gun bigoted newspapers such as the Roanoke Times from publishing such information in the future.
Thus, it is beginning to look like the imbecilic notion of targeting gun owners on the part of Christian Trejbal and the Roanoke Times has backfired. Their actions may well be the start of a nationwide effort to legally prevent news outlets from publishing the names of those with permits for concealed carry.
Such a push is long overdue. The practice puts citizens in mortal danger, such as single mothers hiding from abusive husbands.
Thus, there is good news coming out of Virginia today!

Pressure on Roanoke Times Advertisers
Charlotte, NC (TLS). Those of you who value your Second Amendment rights as I do are always seeking ways to let our voices be heard in the public arena, particularly when all too many are ready to paint us as dangerous, fringe-element kooks who have no business driving an automobile much less owning a firearm.
Perhaps we would all do well to remember what the murders of abortion doctors did to the pro-life movement for several years. Such extreme actions on the part of dangerous individuals did the pro-life movement no favors and probably set the movement back by a decade or so. Only as science came to prove our contention that unborn babies have definite feelings, plus the images in the womb we have all come to view with awe, has the pro-life movement regained the momentum it lost when anti-abortion crusaders went on killing sprees.
It's hard to successfully make a point about 'pro-life' when you are killing doctors.
In like manner, it's hard to convince skeptics in law schools and politics that responsible gun ownership and use is the norm when a few terribly misguided souls make threats or damage our cause by 'bull-in-a-china-shop' reactions.
Thus, the question becomes, how do we best go about making our point in a responsible manner? How can we most effectively make our point?
The practice of calling to task newspaper publishers, editors, and reporters by publishing their personal information is a reasonable approach when gun-owners are treated like common criminals and even compared to child molesters in some publications, such as the Roanoke Times. If they publish our names and addresses, they can expect us to publish theirs. It's that simple. And it is fair.
Another reasonable approach is to call the newspaper to complain about the nature of their coverage of gun ownership. If the publishers are aware that enough of their readers are offended by the tone of their coverage, it can make a difference. So can subscription cancellation.
However, the most effective means, perhaps, of getting our message across is to contact the advertisers in the offending publications and complain to them. If advertisers get the slightest hint that having their names associated with extremist editors and reporters is having a negative impact on a significant number of their patrons, you can bet your last quarter they will pressure the newspaper to stop with the crap, or else.
And that 'or else' means pulling their advertising out of that newspaper.
Newspapers cannot survive without advertising dollars. In today's society, with newspaper readership and subscriptions reaching all-time lows, the only way most papers survive is through the advertising...the businesses that purchase ads in those papers.
If a paper loses a half-dozen or so major business accounts, it is often enough to put their operating budget in the red.
Thus, advertisers can send a strong message to publications--shape up or we can shut you down.
Most of us around the country who are keenly aware of Second Amendment issues have already done most of the things I have mentioned to express our displeasure with the manner in which we were treated in the Roanoke Times. The one thing that's left is something that only local subscribers can do--contact the advertisers. Tell them what you think about the action of the Roanoke Times in publishing the names of carriers of concealed firearms, many of whom are single women and single moms who are in grave danger when such information about them is made public.
And then let the businesses do the rest. If you suggest that you may not be able to do business with them if they advertise in the Roanoke Times, I think they will get the message.
And believe me, these businesses will be sure that the Roanoke Times gets the message.

Roanoke Times Will Not Re-Post List
Charlotte, NC (TLS). In a statement released Wednesday, the Roanoke Times newspaper in Roanoke, Virginia stated that it would not re-post the list of owners of concealed handguns. The announcement came in response to word from government officials in Virginia that the list did not contain the names of protected persons.
Thus, while the Times is apparently in the clear with regard to running afoul of state law, the newspaper stated that it would not republish the list of gun owners, citing Christian Trejbal's initial story as 'merely an example of freedom of information.' Stating that it did not intend to target a group of private citizens maliciously, the Times contends the objective of Trejbal's article was met and there is therefore no need to re-post the information. The Times had removed the list under threats of legal action and questions concerning the legality of publishing some of the names.
However, when one reads Trejbal's editorial column, the nature, tone, and tenor of the rhetoric is clearly hostile to gun owners, in spite of the newspaper's claim that the list was merely published as an 'example of freedom of information.' Such a claim would be credible were it not for one major, central factor--Christian Trejbal's own words in his editorial column. The list must be viewed within the context of the writer's own words.
Within that column, which is a matter of public record, Trejbal makes several statements questioning the prudence of private ownership of handguns. In addition, he states that citizens in Virginia 'have a right to know if their neighbor is packing heat.'
Excuse me, Mr. Trejbal, but who says so? Law abiding citizens minding their own business have no legal obligation to disclose to anyone they are carrying a gun in the United States of America. It is called liberty, and it is protected in the U.S. Constitution under the provisions of the Second Amendment.
In refusing to condemn the practice of Christian Trejbal in attempting to shame and target gun owners, the Roanoke Times has continued to make itself vulnerable to multi-million-dollar lawsuits brought by those whose security and personal safety were compromised by the publication of that list. The lame excuse that Trejbal was merely giving an example of freedom of information, when he essentially compared gun owners to child molesters, is reason enough to totally dismiss their explanation.
Now that Trejbal has opened this can of worms, the 'freedom of information' to know which citizens are carrying concealed handguns may be very shortlived. Legislators in the state of Virginia have asked the state Attorney-General for an opinion, which many observers say is a signal that the next legislative session may pass a law protecting the privacy of such information.
In the long run, Trejbal and the Roanoke Times may have done gun owners a big favor.
In the meantime, the citizens should continue to cancel their subscriptions and talk to their attorneys about legal action against Trejbal and the Roanoke Times.

Public Information on Roanoke Times Editors
Charlotte, NC (TLS). We understand that editorial writer Christian Trejbal of the Roanoke Times has had an avalanche of phone calls, emails, and text messages sent to him, some of which has been threatening, unfortunately.
Let me say unequivocally that The Liberty Sphere does not condone nor encourage any threat of harm against those who disagree with us or who do things that we deplore.
Those who make personal threats of physical harm, including death threats, or bomb threats, and the like, are actually hurting our cause. Threats of this nature do nothing to advance the freedoms of the Second Amendment and the liberties we all love in America. Instead, these actions drive persons to judge our entire movement by the extremist, dangerous actions of a tiny minority.
Our intent is not to harm anyone or to participate in the extreme, misguided, and deplorable actions of a tiny minority within the pro-gun movement. Rather, we wish to call newspapers, their editors, columnists, and publishers to accountability. If the tactic of publishing the names of gun owners is utilized, it is only fair that the same be done with the reporters and media personnel who participate in this despicable act of contempt of those who support the Second Amendment.
Thus, we respectfully issue the call to accountability on the part of the following persons connected with the Roanoke Times, including Christian Trejbal:
Dan Radmacher, Editorial Page Editor
President and Publisher Debbie Meade.
We encouraging those who subscribe to the Roanoke Times to write letters to the editor and drop the paper. I don’t think they yet understand the extent of the outrage they have created.
Christian J. Trejbal

Christianburg, VA 24073

As we have stated before, The Liberty Sphere will not hesitate to publish information about columnists, reporters, editors, and publishers who engage in the despicable practice of targeting gun owners by publishing their names, addresses, and phone numbers. It is only fair that if you engage in this practice, you should have the same done to you.

Update on Roanoke Times-Christian Trejbal
Charlotte, NC (TLS). The Roanoke Times newspaper and its editorial writer, Christian Trejbal, are apparently up to their eyeballs in an explosive controversy over the publication of the names and addresses of registered owners of concealed weapons in the state of Virginia.
Stating that the citizens of Virginia 'have a right to know if their neighbor is packing heat,' Trejbal proceeded to use his column in the Roanoke Times to list the names and addresses of gun owners.
In a late-breaking update to this story, authorities state that not all of the information Trejbal made public was authorized for public scrutiny. This means that whoever helped Trejbal gain access to the information he published may have broken state law. And in turn, this would also mean that Trejbal broke the law as did the newspaper that published the information.
As we reported Tuesday afternoon on The Liberty Sphere, the actions of Trejbal and his newspaper may place them wide-open to multi-million-dollar lawsuits. Publishing the names of persons who have a right, affirmed by the state of Virginia, to carry concealed weapons is a breach of personal security. Had I been one of the citizens named on that list, I would have made a bee-line to my attorney's office to sign the paperwork for such a massive lawsuit myself.
Since The Liberty Sphere published that story late Tuesday afternoon, reports indicate that the Roanoke Times has been inundated with an avalanche of phone calls, emails, and text messages from irate readers concerning the publishing of the names. There is also widespread talk of cancellations of subscriptions to the paper.
Apparently the outcry of the citizens is being heard. The Roanoke Times took down the posted list of gun owners from its website. But before it took this action, the damage had already been done. Hundreds, if not thousands, of readers had already seen who was on that list, including some powerful politicians in the area. One reader even found her own name on the list for all to see--a female who lives alone.
My friends, this is a call to action. As we have already advocated on The Liberty Sphere, gun owners should track down and publicize the personal information of news reporters and newspaper editors who engage in this despicable practice of attempting to target and shame gun owners. The property information of every single person in America is available to the public at the county courthouse of their residence. This should be made public and posted on the Internet. That way, whenever a hot-shot 'reporter' decides to conduct a vendetta against gun owners in the name of journalism, we will fight back by putting THEIR information online for all to see. Tit for tat.
In addition, readers of the Roanoke Times should immediately call the paper and cancel their subscriptions. Did I mention we can put newspapers out of business too?
I am also calling for persons whose names were published by The Roanoke Times and their rogue editorialist, Christian Trejbal, to consider taking legal action in the wake of having your personal security compromised by the tasteless, despicable, and deplorable actions of a newspaper and a columnist. You do not have to take this sitting down. You have legal rights.
And if someone in the government of the state of Virginia helped Christian Trejbal and the Roanoke Times to break the law by publicizing names that should not have been made public, then every single person involved in this scandal should face the full consequences of the law.

Shedding Light on Roanoke Times and Trejbal
Charlotte, NC (TLS). Yet another newspaper has decided to conduct an anti-gun campaign by publishing the names and addresses of registered owners of concealed weapons.
This time the culprit is the Roanoke Times and its editorial writer, Christian Trejbal.
Trejbal used the opportunity posed by so-called 'sunshine week,' which is supposed to highlight the fact that government activity should be open to the public, to publicize the complete names and addresses of private citizens who own guns.
He may well find himself in the midst of multi-million-dollar lawsuits, as gun owners pressed the Times to take down the information due to 'security concerns.'
The fact that publishing the names and addresses of gun owners compromises the security of private citizens should be a no-brainer. Apparently not when it comes to the Roanoke Times and its numbskull editorial writer, Mr. Trejbal. Did he actually think that he could get away with this breach of privacy? Sure, the records are available at the courthouse, but this does NOT mean it is advisable or prudent to publish them. If my name had been included in the database the Times published, I would be at my attorney's office TODAY doing the paperwork for a massive lawsuit against both the Times AND Mr. Trejbal.
The Liberty Sphere takes such attacks on our 2nd Amendment rights very seriously. The last time a news reporter engaged in such an attack we published that reporter's name, address, phone number, and gave a complete description of his property, including its complete dimensions--information that is ALSO available to the public at any county courthouse.
Perhaps someone should return the favor to Mr. Trejbal. If he has the unmitigated gall to do such a dastardly thing, then we can surely get all of his 'private' information and publish it all over the Internet. What's good for the goose is surely good for the gander.
And let the media beware. We are not playing. Continue with this sordid attempt to shame and harm gun owners, and you will find that YOUR information will be blasted all over every search engine online. Property information is PUBLIC information that is entered into courthouse records. Any citizen who asks can gain access to it.
So beware, my dear news writers. You could be next.
