LTE: Identify sex predators, not CHL-holders

April 1, 2005
Cleveland Plain Dealer

In light of Jessica Lunsford's murder in Florida and Jetseta Gage's murder in Iowa, both at the hands of convicted sexual predators, why doesn't The Plain Dealer publish the names of known sexual predators instead of publishing the names of concealed-carry license holders?

I, for one, am not really concerned about who is licensed to carry a concealed weapon. Those people by law have never committed any crime, and I feel safer having them around. I am much more concerned, and I think everyone else is too, about whether or not someone in my neighborhood is a convicted sexual predator.

Do us a real public service and publish the names of sexual predators so that we all know who they are and where they live.
