The Bangor Daily News has rescinded its request for records about concealed weapon permit holders in the state of Maine. We have informed the agencies who received our request to disregard it. We’ve informed the agencies who have responded that their records will be destroyed.We are disappointed with the reaction to our request, which we felt was with the best intentions to help study issues affecting Maine through an analysis of publicly available data. We will continue our reporting, but will use other sources of information to do so.
The BDN regrets that its request for information may have been taken as a personal attack on concealed carry permit holders, some of whom work at the BDN.

It couldn´t have been the threat of having the addresses and phone numbers of every employee made public in retaliation, could it?
Or maybe several threatened lawsuits?

One wonders if the BDN routinely publishes names and addresses of say...convicted rapists and murderers living in their local neighborhoods?
Nah. The Boston crowd probably finds ´gun owners´ far more reprehensible...

That´s probably what the Boston residents think, but what about the Bangor residents?

Just curious. The Paper stated they had no intention of publishing the information, so WHY did they even bother??
Doesn´t pass the smell test.

Liars, plain and simple. I will never understand what kind of people raised these kind of people.

Oh , I´m pretty sure they were ´contacted´ by someone who threatened to sue them into then next century and beyond. What scares me is that they were able to get some of this info sent to them by some ever-so-helpful bureaucrats.

These idiots keep sticking their fingers in a boiling pot. Not real smart, and their lying proficiency needs work too.

These newspapers are doing this with malice. Sue them. Anyone on this thread could win a judgement. No push back.

S. Donald Sussman owns the Portland Press Herald and controlling interest in the Bangor Daily News. He is a billionaire hedge fund manager married to Democrat U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree. He is also the top individual donor to Maine democrat political causes according to state campaign finance reports.....yeah - nothing to see here folks...I´m sure it was just for research

Liars, you had no intention of studying anything, this was obviously an attempt to
´out´ legal gun owners. As soon as you put up a $100Billion Bond, to cover problems you create, we will give you the names. Until then suck Eggs!

Y´know, after seeing so many of them, I have concluded someone, somewhere sells software that writes non-apology apologies for you. And that they´ve sold a lot of copies.
That said, a few thoughts: a. we can all be glad the BDN writer has assured us they are and will remain purer than Caesar´s wife [right?]; b. they will, maybe already have, reimbursed the various agencies for the goose-chasing time their request [now, why again did they want this info?] caused; and c. the several claims in the article of concern for the rights and difficulties of CCW permit holders and applicants are real, heartfelt, long-held, and in no way a cheap, opportunistic attempt to look fair-minded.

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Likening religious schools to segregation--a racist system that forced blacks to attend different schools and use different facilities than whites in the American South--President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting for youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday that there should not be Catholic and Protestant schools because such schools cause division. "Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity--symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others--these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it,"

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

Celebrity chef Paula Deen admitted in a recorded deposition to telling racist jokes, using the N-word, and planning a slavery-themed wedding, according to multiple reports. The May 17 deposition where she made the alleged admissions is part of a $1.2 million lawsuit brought by Lisa Jackson, the former manager of a Savannah, Georgia, restaurant run by Deen and her brother Bubba Hiers. Jackson alleges in the suit that Deen used the N-word at the restaurant and that Hiers sexually harassed her. According to the reports, in the deposition, Deen replied “Yes, of course,”

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
