Thanks Steve -- by now we've all seen that math hosted by a New York he's.

Pinpointing all the local gun owners home addresses but now that plan -- began to back fires nearby prison inmates appear now.

To be using that information to intimidate their guards and the -- -- After all they own guns so their information appears on that map.

Rockland county sheriff was Falcone joins -- now with.

His feelings about this you were just discussing in the commercial picture that.

I don't think people understood -- -- the domino effect of releasing this information now it's come down to where inmates are threatening guards in what way.

In what way this and we know we live we know your family lifts.

We can retaliate if in fact you know we choose to and it's a threat that.

The officers that come to work they do their job and -- they got to worry about when they go home.

And their family safety.

There are 8000 active and retired New York police department officers currently living just in York county that's correct.

What are your personal feelings about this information of gun ownership legally by the way.

Being put out for all the public to -- I think it jeopardized all the good people.

Of Rockland county and other counties throughout the state as well as law enforcement.

I mean law enforcement only a piece of which jeopardize here -- people can now pinpoint if they were gonna to a burglary house with.

A gun if they wanted to try to get to hands on the gun or target houses that they know there are no guns that.

So they have the option to go either way.

But on top of that all of our own families and law enforcement and that's probation that's -- that's corrections.

Even the firefighters look what happened up in Rochester New York we have many firefighters -- have this performance.

And I just think that the good citizens of Rockland county and in every county of New York State has been jeopardized by this took precautions I have to getting.

What do you think will happen now gun permits we'll go -- because people have been exposed as not having guns we've already seen a major search.

In Rockland county have a conversation with -- The county -- yesterday.

Where pistol permit -- -- requests are coming in in droves which puts another burden on everybody.

In order to accomplish this number two I know that you would like to see legislation to do what to -- -- to -- this information to seal this information.

I mean these are all good citizens.

You know -- -- you know we have a sex offender registry where they had a turn around.

And make it available to everybody defined that was sex offenders live.

They didn't to have legislation to make it available to see what everybody that there was a law abiding citizen whether a police officer -- civilian.

Or promote peace officer lived or where that information and I believe that that should be sealed.

-- -- because one of the -- Putnam company asked to reveal this information they decided to not let that happen.

A -- in your Connie they did a sheriff -- -- telco rock and -- interest and discussion thank you very much thank you.
