We're the Only Ones With a Clear Conscience Enough

"I didn't want to be responsible for someone out there carrying a gun," former Torrance Police Chief Don Nash is quoted as saying in the article. He granted only one permit during 22 years as chief - to a South Bay prosecutor who had been threatened.

"The premise is that you assume some kind of responsibility," Nash added. "I didn't want it on my conscience if someone out there shot somebody."

But I'd sleep like a baby knowing some citizen had been brutally murdered instead. Besides, I haven't issued permits to these guys, or to these guys either, so what's the problem?

And conversely, my conscience would be just fine had my prosecutor buddy shot someone, because he's an "Only One" just like me.
