Some Politicians "Get It"

They passed a law in Georgia that allows concealed carriers to carry heir guns into certain places like bars, churches, schools, and government buildings. One group criticized it as “guns everywhere.” But is that a real criticism? “Guns everywhere” can be a GOOD THING, if the guns are in the hands of good people. After much publicized mass shootings lately, some states have called for more restrictive gun laws (as if criminals obeyed laws!). But others opted for allowing people to carry their own guns in more places. Of course, this was fostered by Republicans, giving Democrats something to criticize. Democrats aren’t smart enough to do it. The law still allows people to control their own property, allowing churches and bar owners, say, to ban guns from their establishments, thereby creating places where armed criminals (who obey no laws) can come in and shoot it up, so it’s not a perfect law. I'm reminded of a female doctor in Texas who had to watch as a shooter murdered her parents because she could not bring her legally-carried gun into a restaurant. They note that schools have been “gun-free zones” for a long time, and have been targets for gun-toting criminals all the while (that part they ignore). (Town Hall)
