Editorial: "Four rules of firearm safety apply to all"

The unnamed Courier editor (guess who) intones the gun rules with religious fervor -- I'm reminded of Heston and the Ten Commandments -- to wag a finger at the VA security guard. He rails against the world he himself creates.

Update, 2pm: He's talking about this, Lefty, from Wednesday.

Update, 6:25am Sunday: Link fixed, I hope. That was odd.

  3. Ok got it now ...looks like this guy got what's coming to him for being foolish.(being charitable here) although its kind interesting that officer Van Leeuwen's offense was handled in this very public way and not sub rosa .Hmmm i think there is more to this than meets the eye

  4. Hey LTC,

    You should come out to the Blogfest and hook up with some of the local bloggers. Nice to meet you face to face!

I encourage you to share your own views and experience with me and other readers. How you do that matters, and I'm committed to maintaining a place where readers and commenters can feel safe from adolescent BS. So here's the deal:

There are two kinds of anonymous comments: those by people who have a genuine fear of revenge from the dark side, and those from darksiders just hiding to avoid accountability. You may post comments anonymously, but I reserve the right to treat anonymous comments as found items that belong to me and do with them as I see fit.

If, on the other hand, you're willing to stand by your convictions and post under your own name or a regular handle, your comments belong to you, and I'll edit them only on egregious violations of respect for others.

If this doesn't work for you, I'm sure you'll be happier somewhere else.
