Virginia had a similar issue a while back. Seems some JACKASS of a fishwrap requested the names and addresses of every CHL holder in Virginia and then published it online for all the world to see, right down to the make, model and caliber of their weapons. But the difference was that it was legal for them to do so. It exposed a number of battered women's previously secret address to their estranged husbands. It also exposed everyone to the hightened risk that criminals would use the database as a shopping list. They knew which houses had what sort of weapon and could target the ones they wanted. They also knew which houses did NOT have weapons and could target them as well.

More recently, the Chronicle requested the names and incomes of every city employee then published that information online in a database. Again while it was legal to do so, it was unethical to do so.
