Fox News chief packs heat

Fox News chief Roger Ailes has a license to carry a firearm in New York City on his person at all times, according to the NYPD's newly released list of handgun-permit holders. And he's not alone among his Fox News colleagues: Prime-time shouter Sean Hannity also has a city license to carry a gun.
Both Ailes and Hannity have a "carry business" license from the NYPD, which permits them to carry a concealed weapon wherever they go in the city. It's illegal in New York City to possess a firearm without a license. The "carry business" permit is the least restrictive one that the city offers.
It doesn't come as much surprise that Ailes arms himself — a New York Times profile earlier this year reported that he's received numerous threats over the years and has had an intruder arrested on his property. "A sign outside his house shows an illustration of a gun and advises visitors that it is under video surveillance," the Times wrote. Hannity's license has been previously reported, but Ailes doesn't appear to have sought the permit until recently. A Fox News spokesperson didn't respond to a request for comment.
Other prominent New Yorkers on the permit list include Howard Stern, Don Imus, Donald Trump and Donald Trump Jr., and Estee Lauder heir Ron Lauder.
The 445-page list was released to The Upshot under New York's Freedom of Information Law. Various news outlets requested an updated copy of the list after a Bloomberg News story in December reported an increase in the number of Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street bankers seeking permits for protection.
We're going through the list right now looking for interesting or new names, and we'll bring them to you as we confirm them.

445 pages? The list aint that long in all of NJ.

I doubt there are 445 pages of unrestricted carry licenses in NYC. I'm guessing it includes licenses to own a gun and take it to the range empty in your trunk. But I'm too lazy to look it up. Because I hate NYC.

[rmodel65]

so they publish a list of who owns guns and where they live so they can contribute to the stolen gun problem??

Add Chuck Schumer to that list

I bet Bloomberg doesn't take a shit without his gun, not that you'll ever see his name on a list...

When you have people paid to protect you (with guns), why do you need to carry a gun yourself?

Because who will protect him from the people paid to protect him?

Yeah, someone posted this a few months ago in News I think.

Here are the scum bags who I think have been publishing the info.

It's the whole state, not just NYC.

There are also links to the few other states that make such records public.

This is one of the many reasons why gun registration is such a bad idea.

Huh you mean only people with enough cash and clout get NYC permits?
I'm shocked beyond words!

I wonder if Hannity or Stern think everyone should be able to protect themselves or just their special asses?
