What a great way to generate free publicity for your grand opening.

And the other up-side of course is that people open carrying near the elementary school will discourage terrorists and psychos. But of course the leftists never thought of that.

Leftists really are very stupid people.

If the Sandy Hook staff could have a do-over, I’d bet they would have liked to have faced Adam Lanza with a gun of their own.

So how near is “near”?

The article doesn’t say.

The handwringing bedwetters would rather have a brothel than a gun store.

“The school resource officer can’t tell if someone means harm or is just going from the store to his or her car,” she says.

Well here's a clue Einstein, if the gun is uncased and the person is making a beeline for the school they are a threat, gun store or no!

It is an on going story but the “protest” happened Saturday, January 16th: more media than “protesters” as usual. The gun store owners tailgated nearby: they are very cool.
