Concealed carry is now in effect. Wjat happened to the bloodbath we were warned about? Maybe Kelly Johnston is full of BS.

Zelda,

The point on this amendment to city code is to reverse an ordinance that council members approved late last year that restricted licensed carriers from carrying on many public properties. Reporting the council's previous vote is just part of informing the public about the issue and why the city is changing their code again.

So what’s your point on the concealed carry? The bill prohibits local cities from overiding the state law. Now it seems, in retrospect, and with some study and reflection, that lawmakers agree with that. They now feel their initial response to the CCH permit was in fact, a knee-jerk reaction. They don’t want their cities to be places where only the bad guys have guns. They don’t want to post signs that say “Defenseless Victim Zone.” In other words, time has allowed common sense do settle this. So what is your point? Are you so anti-gun that it riles you that even the former foes of CCH are now OK with it?
