SOME GOOD GUN NEWS, SOME BAD GUN NEWS

by Bob Walsh

First the good news. The house has passed HR 38 on to the senate. This is the national concealed carry reciprocity bill. If it passes into law you will be able to carry your gat in New York or Illinois while traveling thru if you have a permit from elsewhere, or if you live in a state that does not require a permit to carry. Another good thing the Republicans have done recently.

Now the bad news, another tragic and stupid accidental death. A five-year old in Anchorage found a loaded gun in a night stand and managed to kill himself with it in the wee hours of Wednesday morning. There was no evidence of drugs or drunk parents, just ordinary stupidity and carelessness. I don't know what, if any, laws Alaska has about gun storage and rugrats but it is still a tragedy no matter what way you slice it..
