If she's confirmed, Harriet Miers could turn out to be the High Court's first justice in a long time to pack heat.

She sounds like a committed defender of the right to keep and bear arms.

But is she intellectually strong enough to resist the leftist pull of the media/Beltway cocktail set? Anthony Kennedy wasn't.

A lot of liberals pack heat (or hire bodyguards who do) and yet they want to take away guns for everyone else. Same thing with a lot of issues. A lot of environmentalists drive SUVs and yet they would like to take your SUV away.

Would you please point me to a reliable source where I can find this? The only thing I've seen is a report than a brother or friend or somesuch gave her a handgun, but I haven't seen a report confirming that she ever carried.

I knows she's said some pro-2nd-Amendment stuff, but I'm not sure of this other claim.

I read that she did some target shooting and supports the right of citizens to defend themselves, but that she was never a "routine" packer of heat.
