Bars are the real issue for me. For the record, any late-night bar that allows guns won't get my business.
Here's an idea: Why not let bar and restaurants establish "Guns Allowed" and "No Guns Allowed" areas, just like they used to do with smoking? That way we'd at least know where the nuts are sitting.
Then: Southern Beale shows just how law-abiding CCW permit holders can be here:
On 06/05/09, at approximately 7:00 p.m., a suspect was at 60th AV SW and Alki Av SW with a female friend, when he got into a confrontation with a group of juveniles (young teenagers — middle school students). The suspect hurled profanities at the teens and pulled up his shirt to display a holstered handgun, frightening the juveniles and many onlookers. Officers arrived on scene and quickly located the suspect at Alki & 63rd SW. Officers recovered a .357 magnum revolver from the suspect’s waistband. He appeared to be under the influence of alcohol, and was also carrying a flask of whiskey. The suspect, produced a US Army ID, identifying him as an active duty sergeant, and a CCW permit issued by the state of Ohio.
Oh joy, I can hardly wait for July 14. The fetishists will scream bloody murder, but there's more of us than there are of them, they're just louder.
Um no there aren't, there really are more of us and we are armed, :-)
ReplyDeleteSo which of the above issues made him dangerous? The Army ID? The CCW he did not use? The drinking? And in further news, that week several dozen unarmed Tennesseans got in their pick up trucks and plowed into the side of some family car killing the occupants.
The fact is both acts are illegal but guess what your whiny little diatribe did not deter them nor will it. I will continue to carry a concealed weapon and not drink while doing so. Just like the guys who are drinking and carrying/driving will continue to do so.
