Details Of Gun Package Include FOIL Provision – Capital Tonight, Nick Reisman
Legislature Restricts Access to Gun Permit Data – NY Times, Christine Haughney
Guns, Maps and Disturbing Data – NY Times, David Carr
Noneck’s commentary: NY State’s open records law is so far ahead of every other state that this exemption creates an imperfect lens of transparency. A better way to handle gun permitting would have been to limit records to a zip code or a US Census track. By allowing citizens to remove themselves from public record creates a dangerous president for transparency and accountability.
