From today's Plain Dealer, Who's carrying a gun? Almost anyone may be
If anything, the author's choice of title reflects that the purpose of carrying a firearm concealed has finally been recognized.
Now, more than ever, there's a chance the people around you have guns.In recent days the Cleveland Plain Dealer has printed numerous stories and letters to the editor about firearms, concealed carry, and college carry. Finally, and for the most part, those articles have been surprisingly fair, balanced, and carry less knee jerk emotional rhetoric.
They're armed as you walk through the aisles of supermarkets. Armed as you take your child on a walk. Armed in traffic as you drive to work.
