There's a disturbing, infuriating story in the Daily News about open carriers--or more accurately, about comments Palo Alto police detective Rod Tuason allegedly made about them on his Facebook page:
"Sounds like you had someone practicing their 2nd amendment rights last night!" Tuason wrote. "Should've pulled the AR out and prone them all out! And if one of them makes a furtive movement ... 2 weeks off!!!"
Tuason even took the opportunity to ridicule the fact that "law-abiding" gun owners can't get concealed carry permits. From the screenshot on the "Oaklander" blog":
Haha that's when you attend one of their meetings and laugh at them cuz they can only dream to have a ccw...

 Republican candidate Rob Portman outdid Democrat Lee Fisher, as well as all other candidates, in fundraising for his campaign for the U.S. Senate.
Reports submitted to the Federal Election Commission showed Portman raising $7.6 million last year and still had $6 million in the bank at the end of the year. His closest GOP challenger was business owner Thomas Ganley with $1.3 million.
Current Ohio Lt. Governor Lee Fisher reported $3.3 million in fundraising and $1.8 million on hand. His opponent, Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, raised $677,658 and has just $60,859 left.
Portman received contributions of $10,000 each from PACs for Duke Energy, Ernst & Young, Limited Brands, and Owens Corning. PAC contributions of $5,000 each came from the American Bankers Association, First Energy Corporation, and the Timken Co. PACs. Ohioans For Concealed Carry PAC donated $1,000. Fisher took in $10,000 each from the Sheet Metal Workers and United Auto Workers and $5,000 each from First Energy Corp. and the American Association for Justice.

On February 22, a new law on guns in national parks takes effect. The new law repeals a National Park Service rule that has long prohibited Americans from possessing firearms in national parks for self-defense.
The Coburn amendment, passed last spring by an overwhelming bipartisan vote in the U.S. Senate, will allow people to possess, carry and transport firearms in national parks, in accordance with state law.
However, many details remain to be worked out. Reports indicate that National Park Service officials are debating issues such as the definition of “federal facilities,” where firearms will remain prohibited under a different federal law.
NPS officials are expected to issue further information as February 22 approaches, and some parks have already published information on their new policies. Because state laws vary greatly, before you visit a national park, you should check the park’s website or call the park headquarters for more information. NRA will also provide updates as they become available. |

With the recent brewhaha (sorry) over open carriers at Starbucks, I thought I'd give you two examples from this past weekend that show adopting policies like Peet's Coffee and Tea or California Pizza Kitchen, where only law enforcement officers are trusted with guns, does not guarantee patrons or employees will be any safer.
Also from the weekend see:
