Since Taft signed the CCW law into effect that mandates the list of permit holders be public information, The Cleveland Plain Dealer says:

Since Taft chooses to hide behind journalists on this vital public-records matter, it is this newspaper’s intention to obtain this information and publish it. Our readers deserve to know the identities of those who obtain permits to carry their guns in public. We hope other news organizations will do the same in their communities.

In response, KABA has vowed:

The editors of this newspaper can expect a taste of their own medicine.

As soon as they publish permit holders’ names, we’ll publish the names, phone numbers and home addresses of every single person on staff at the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Same goes for any other newspaper that singles out gun owners in this way.

And we will distribute that data as far and wide as we can, throughout the State of Ohio, through all channels of our influence — just like these Gun Bigots are threatening to do.

I will publish that list here too. I advise all pro-gun bloggers to do the same.
