The gun owners whose addresses were published should sue the Journal for relocation expenses. Then, the Journal should report that the previously listed gun owners have all moved and no longer reside at the published addresses.
No they should not. The paper merely published what is already public information. Instead of blaming the paper, maybe they should ask why this list is public information. Maybe it should not be. The officer's home addresses can be found many other ways including voter rolls (also public) or on any of the dozens of web sites like ussearch.com
Most burglars will case a house a couple times before breaking in. In their eyes, if they're breaking in, you're not home. Of course, some screw up.
But, because of that, guns are a landmine for the burglar. Most burglars want something small, but of lots of value to take out of your home. TVs, computers are a pain in the ass. Guns, jewelry, cash, and documents (like passports) are gold on the street.
Most burglars do not want to confront a home occupant and will go out of their way to make sure nobody is home. If you want to deter burglars, the BEST 2 things you can do are let a radio play loud enough they can hear it, leave a few lights on at night and, the number ONE thing you can do is get a garage door that has NO WINDOWS. If you have one with windows, spray frosting on them so a burglar cannot see if there is a car in a garage. They will go elsewhere.

Most high security prisons don't have their guards wear name tags for this reason. It's on a first name basis, and often then it's a "nickname." So this is kind of a perfect storm of stupidity though any prisoner willing to revenge on a guard, chances are the guard earned it.

The best thing to do is simply be home all the time. Rotating lights can be detected by the patient burglar. A visible alarm is the next best thing. A dog, third, though any burglar will either buy off the dog with food or simply kill it.

Alarms are useless. Especially in large cities. Burglars know that they can defeat alarms by cutting phone lines and, even if the alarm calls the cops, the burglar knows alarms are a low priority with the cops and that they have a few minutes once they kick in the door, to snatch up things. And most alarms have a 60 second delay to allow the occupant time to enter their code and the burglar knows that he can possibly find the alarm control panel and smash it within the delay time. So if you are going to have an alarm, insist that the main control box be mounted in a non visible place like at attic and that it have a wireless cellular communicator on it. Yes rotating lights can be detected by a burglar but newer random timers will not be. And, opposite popular belief, most residential burglars work in the daytime. Most commercial burglars work at night. Some burglars work both shifts. But every burglar I have ever known- which is about 3 of them- always told me the number one thing that makes them bypass a home is one where they cannot detrmine with certainty nobody is home. Oh, and another thing- if you have a flat screen TV in the living room, it is a good idea you not make it visible through the window if you can help it.

It's not about defeating the alarm (all alarms have a separate line from the phone btw) but about the noise they make. No burglar wants noise. If he see's a house with a visible alarm he will move to the next. If he breaks into a house with an alarm, and it goes off, he will probably flee.

You obviously have no clue what goes on in a maximum security facility. Many convicts will use that information to gain leverage......regardless of officer interaction. Publication of that information has placed the officer, his spouse, children, or any other resident on subject premises in extreme jeopardy. Correctional personnel do a job many could never do.....to now lay liability back on the officer's and/or other security staff is real wrong. And one last thought, convicts have regular contact with the outside world...how many police officer's or judges have listed telephone numbers ?

They do their job because they're not employable anywhere else. Most of them are low level thugs who enjoy beating the inmates (who have no voice or protection). Most inmates just want to get on with their lives. For one of them to be so hell bent on revenge tells me the prison guard earned it.

I think they should publish the names and adresses of everyone receiving welfare, EBT, Section 8 and the like so if we choose to we can check to see if any of them are buying high end new cars, going to Disney, casinos, etc.
The people have a right to know how their money's being spent.
