Slam doors, call cops when confronted by hidden camera

Excerpt:
An undercover video investigation by Project Veritas, whose founder James O’Keefe is widely known for his devastating 2009 undercover video exposé of ACORN, reveals the private actions of the journalists who, in the form of the Journal News newspaper in New York, very publicly revealed the names and addresses of gun-permit holders.
Project Veritas members posed as an anti-gun rights coalition asking to post anti-gun signs on lawns, with the simple message that that home was a “gun free zone,” and they approached the journalists in the Rockland and Westchester county areas in New York, including those from the White Plains-based Journal News.
But they found that of the dozen homes of anti-gun activists visited, four times doors were closed in their faces, three times the signs were rejected, twice law enforcement was called to remove them from the properties, and three times they found armed guards already on the properties.
Stops by the team included the homes of Star Ledger columnist Bob Braun, Journal News publisher Janet Hasson, reporter Alex Weisler, Journal News editor Cynthia Lambert and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.
O’Keefe’s crew asked journalists whether they would put a sign in their lawn that says “Citizens Against Senseless Violence. THIS HOME IS PROUDLY GUN FREE!”
Uniformly they were denied permission.
O’Keefe, who also previously released a video of a Democrat campaign operative plotting vote fraud, explained he wanted to see how top gun control advocates “felt when placed in the same position as our nation’s children – within a Gun Free Zone.”
“Our nation’s children spend the majority of their week within schools that are starkly emblazoned with signs that read ‘Gun Free Zone.’ Project Veritas put that same concept to the test with some of America’s most fervent advocates for gun control,” he said.
He said his team went door-to-door in New York, New Jersey and Washington to see which outspoken champions for gun control would be willing to declare their own home as a “Gun Free Zone.”
“It’s amazing to see members of our media equivocate and contradict their spoken and written words when faced with the dilemma to declare their own homes as gun free,” O’Keefe said. “Surprisingly, we found that the homes of the very New York paper that was willing to put the lives and fortunes of gun owners at risk by publishing their names and addresses, were also the most heavily armed and protected.
“The hypocrisy of New York’s Journal News is beyond words.
