Battlefield conversions in N.O.

It's even getting thru to the Boston Globe: 'Her comment was, 'I was a card-carrying, antigun liberal -- not anymore,' " Roe said. ''She said, 'I'm going back home, and I am not going back unarmed.' "

It's wonderful to see the Globe including stories like this, and it surely can't hurt to have accounts of the obviously-clueful juxtaposed so closely with those of the still-in-denial, like this:



Wal-Mart's decision to stop gun sales also earned it praise from several customers, who said police would protect them from any trouble. "Why can't we get along? This is a time of crisis," said Mike White of Kenner, La. He said people who need guns for legitimate reasons, such as hunting, would not be buying now. ( emphasis added )



What kind of person can observe the current situation in New Orleans and conclude "the police would protect them"?????

Good point Kirk. I think we need to go one step further. Training and practice are needed for our fellow citizens to make best use of their firearms. We should remind folks that they need to learn to work with their newly purchased tools.
