"It really is a matter of defining things very carefully and balancing maintaining one's rights and what has become the norm of society. It's something we're really going to have to examine."There's an easy solution for that, Post Falls City Administrator, that is, public servant Eric Keck. More people need to start exercising their right to keep and bear arms so that fewer people are "alarmed". It's not like they freak when they see an armed "Only One."

If only more people would follow suit. We need more teenagers liek this. And more states with such slack gun laws. Here in my home state of Tennessee, you need a $150+ permit for open carry, and a $100+ "official"(ineffective and over-priced) handgun safety/training course beofre you even get to fill out the application. Not to mention you have to be 21.

David I actually see a 'ray of hope' in this article.
ReplyDelete... "'I've been chief here for over 19 years, and we've never had anyone elect to exercise their rights this way,' [Post Falls Police Chief Cliff] Hayes said."
"The public and law enforcement will need to grow accustomed to the sight, Hayes said."
"'I don't think it's necessary to overreact to two individuals who elect to exercise their right to carry a firearm,' he said." ...
A Chief of Police who actually gets it! I live in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area of MN, aka The People's Rebublic of 10,000 Lakes and it is heartwarming to see a top cop who says "Hey it's their *right*, get used to it!" As opposed to Chaska PD's (four star) Chief Knight who worked with the MMM to keep the AWB, was a speaker at one of Bloomie's Mayors Against Any Sort of Gun Being Legal conferences.
Robert Hunt,in the article says"people don't carry guns in this society"...really?What hole has he had his head in? I know alot of people who legally carry everyday? What a maroon!!!
