This one is just too good to pass up. I guess you'll have to just ignore these, Fistful.
CONCEALED CARRY
An accident waiting to happen
A gun goes off, apparently accidentally. A trespassing teenager is dead after tossing stolen scrap metal over a fence. A junkyard employee is found guilty of reckless homicide and faces 15 years in prison (Aug. 13). A judge admonishes the defendant: "The way you addressed the situation was a recipe for disaster."
How many more such "recipes" will be duplicated in Wisconsin courts because citizens, now armed by the state Legislature, will likely act first and think later during future equivalents of 2011's Fourth of July rumbles, State Fair rabble attacks and shopping mall flash mobs?
Will law-abiding, quick-drawing urban residents or suburbanites be guilty of homicide, too, because of their reactions to another's criminal behavior?

[Dan Akroyd voice]Sandra, you ignorant slut.[/Dan Akroyd voice]. Haven't you ever ventured outside of Wisconsin? Is the Journal Sentinel your only source for news? Can you even read the news, or do your children read it to you?
It hasn't happened, it isn't happening, and it won't happen. Got it?
Oh, and if a gang of punks descends upon a law-abiding citizen and he shoots, that's called "self defense", not a "recipe" or a "disaster". If you want to lie down and let them beat you, go right ahead. It just make shake something loose in your head. Of course, everyone knows that guns don't just "go off", but as with so many things, you apparently didn't know that.
Who
did you sleep with to get this letter published?
