Patrick Howley reports for The Daily
Caller<http://dailycaller.com/2014/01/24/newspaper-conglomerate-considers-building-massive-database-of-gun-owners/>,
Jan. 24, 2014, that newspaper conglomerate Civitas
Media<http://civitasmedia.com/>, which
owns 88 newspapers in 12 states and more
than<http://www.linkedin.com/company/civitas-media> 100
total publications, is planning to use public records to build a
massive, state-by-state database of people who have the right to carry
concealed firearms.
The Buckeye Firearms Association in Ohio obtained *a January 19 email sent
by Civitas director of content Jim Lawitz* to the conglomerate's directors,
managers, and producers, which *says that exploring the "explosion" of
conceal and carry permits in the U.S. will be one of the company's
short-term objectives.*

Lawitz <http://civitasmedia.com/section/about-us>
Lawitz's email says:
"We are launching two enterprise projects across our newsrooms this month.
The first will deal with the creeping influence of heroin in our
communities. The deadly drug has quietly taken over, reaching across all
age groups and eclipsing meth as the recreational drug of choice. The
second project examines the explosion of 'conceal and carry' gun permits
across the U.S. Through public records act requests, we will attempt to
build state-by-state databases that list those who have the right to carry
a concealed weapon."
When reached for comment by Buckeye Firearms Association, Lawitz denied
that Civitas has such a plans, "We do not typically publicly comment on
internal propriety communication. However, we have no plans to publish any
names on any lists. Further, we are open to discuss any published reports."
After The Daily Caller first published this news, Civitas Media announced
that it rejected its internal proposal to build a database of concealed
carry permit holders. Civitas CEO Michael C. Bush, who declined to comment
to The Daily Caller because he was boarding a plane this morning, later
said in a statement <http://www.civitasmedia.com/>, "A poorly crafted
internal memo meant to highlight editorial discussions and planning
incorrectly indicated that such a database was being planned; it has been
considered and rejected."
On Civitas Media's website is this message:
*Statement from the CEO*
*Civitas Media never had any plans or intentions of publishing in print or
online lists of holders of "conceal and carry" permits. Nor will Civitas
Media develop databases of permit holders. A poorly crafted internal memo
meant to highlight editorial discussions and planning incorrectly indicated
that such a database was being planned; it has been considered and
rejected.*
