Inmates use gun owner map...

Seems the only logical thing to do is file a class action law suit against the journal news, demanding safe relocation of everybody on the list. That should put them out of business fairly quickly.....

A lawsuit is definitely in order, but this should also fall on the state. This information should not be publicly available. Colorado has appropriate laws blocking release of this info, as should all states.

A lawsuit for what?

All the paper did was publish information which was ALREADY public record. It absolutely shouldn't be, but it is.

Allowing lawsuits based upon "The defendant obeyed the law but they have money and I'm pissed off at them" is, in the long term, IMHO worse than anything the fishwrap has actually done.

Well I can't say a lawsuit would be successful. There are plenty of things that are legal but if you do them someone may be harmed.

Realistically what is occurring was a foreseeable and predictable event. Anything that came out of that would be a direct result of their actions.

A lot is going to depend on the laws of that state and if any actual damage or loss occurs. If there was they could be held liable. It would be an interesting case to see.

Selling hot coffee to an individual is perfectly legal, and most would even say socially acceptable. Didn't stop the individual a few years back from suing.....just saying

What if we just sued the paper with frivolous lawsuits like the Brady Bunch did with the gun companies?

something being public record and someone spreading info are 2 different things .

Especially when the publication of such information endangers individuals. There used to be a thing known as ethics.
A concept poorly lacking in our society.

first: to the topic at hand, even my BIL who is DPD is encouraged not to wear his uniform when coming and going from home. for his protection. the CO families are now at greater risk and the "journalist" should be held responsible should anything happen

second: to this comment. when i spill coffee on myself i expect to be scalded, a little red skin a little pain, no big deal. The old lady that sued Mcdonalds over her hot coffee NEEDED SKIN GRAFTS, the coffee she was served removed the skin between her legs, there is no excuse to hand a person a cup of coffee that was boiling in the cup. If you hand me a cup o jo that hot i might sue you also.

Just because you have freedom of speech, doesn't mean you can yell FIRE in a theater anymore than having the information means you can publish it to the world.
your right to information is trumped by others right to privacy and safety.
I think they should be help criminally liable as an accessory to any crime committed due to the release of that information.

its called responsibility
"Yeah, I did that."

Kind of like the inmates in Idaho suing the beer and winemakers for selling alcohol and no one told these guys that it was addicting and was mood/thought altering?
