So I'm not going to get into the debate of securing your firearms in a good safe, but this is worrisome. Apparently there is an app where anybody enter your address if you are an "irresponsible gun owner". I don't know about any of you, but I am far more concerned with criminals having a damn map of unsecured firearms.

On the bright side, the app is junk. I downloaded it to play with. You can only zoom out to a few blocks and you can't move your location marker. You can ONLY mark where you are currently located. Also, if you zoom out and see a marker, you can't expand the text to see what someone wrote.

Here's a screen shot. (sorry about the volume bar)

This App is AWESOME.

Now I can geographically document all those liberals "shooting off at the mouth" irresponsibly.

Oh wow I heard about this but just figured it gave an address I didn't know it included things like "he's crazy and says he will shoot...." Hopefully somebody can figure out how to sue the company that made this app for slander or something along those lines.
