Both Indiana and Illinois have both made changes to their state laws due to similar situations over the past few years. In Indiana, it was a group of newspapers publishing names and addresses of LTCH (License to Carry a Handgun) holders and in Illinois it was papers publishing names and addresses of FOID (Firearm Owner Identification) holders. In both cases, I believe that such information was removed from public record over the newspapers' cries about their 1st Amendment rights.
