Gun owners are expressing outrage toward a television station in Raleigh, N.C. that linked to a database Friday that publishes the names of concealed carry permit holders.
WRAL-TV, one of the oldest television stations in North Carolina, ran a story on guns in the aftermath of the Colorado movie shooting that provided a link to a special database that makes public the names of citizens who have received a license to carry concealed firearms.
The story first ran on July 12. But the piece was updated and republished Friday after a deranged shooter entered the Century 16 theater in Aurora, Colo. during a midnight screening of the new "Dark Knight" film and opened fire killing 12 people.
Gun owners were immediately outraged, claiming that the station's decision to make public the names of concealed carry permit holders is indicative of the station's anti-firearms bias.
One citizen, writing in the comment section of the story, stated that in spite of the fact that she watched very little of WRAL's programming to begin with, she would never tune in to the station again.

Excellent. Asheville, Raleigh, Winston-Salem, and Charlotte are toast. The rest of the State not so much.
