Russ Howard gives "Authorized Journalist" Christopher J. Kelly a well deserved thumping:
Russ and I both agree that this observation, by "haris@hilton.com" on KABA Comments, is brilliant:
This guy Kelly is another of those gun owners I've started calling IQFs.
"...as I read the state statute, I don’t see anything that expressly affords the right to “open carry,” as it is called by advocates. Nor do I see anything in the statute that expressly prohibits it."
Is the statute superior to the PA & US Constitutions?
"While some gunslingers will adamantly disagree, a room in which there are no guns is safer than a room in which even one gun is present, no matter what color hat you’re wearing. This is just as true with other lethal instruments, such as the broadsword, catapult, rocket launcher and French horn."
In other words, if there are 10 people in a room, one of whom is a 6'4" 250-pound psycho with a machete and a black hat, 9 of whom are civilians in white hats, you're safer if none of the guys in white hats have a gun.
That "logic" would, of course, apply to a living room or a bedroom. Or any other room.
And even if one of the guys in white hats was wearing a state trooper hat 20 minutes earlier, you're safer if everyone is defenseless except the crazy guy with the machete.
By your "logic", you would also be safer OUTSIDE the room, or in a patio, or a park, or a sidewalk, or a car -- i.e., everywhere else -- if all of the decent citizens were defenseless. So your argument undermines the rationale of deterrence, damage mitigation, and crime prevention not only for any carry law, but for any gun ownership at all.
Real genius, pal. Good thing you're not one of those 2nd Amendment types who make gun owners look stupid.

Ask that idiot if he would feel safer in the National Matches at Camp Perry or in the exercise yard of San Quentin?
