Clark wary of concealed guns

11:21 PM 1/19/04
Scott Milfred State government reporter

Though he owns a lot of guns, loves to hunt and spent 38 years in the military, Democratic presidential candidate Wesley Clark is generally opposed to letting citizens carry concealed handguns.

"I don't feel right about concealed weapons," Clark told the Wisconsin State Journal during a brief telephone call from New Hampshire on Friday, where he was campaigning for that state's Jan. 27 primary.

"It's OK if you're a detective on the police force," Clark continued. "But I don't see a requirement for ordinary citizens to carry concealed weapons."

??? So what did I miss? Who is advocating that ordinary citizens be "required" to carry concealed weapons?

"But I don't see a requirement for ordinary citizens to carry concealed weapons."

What this idiot thinks is unimportant but this is the thinking of most police chiefs as well.

In many states, the local police chief decides who gets to have a firearm and who doesn't.

THEY DON'T WANT ANYBODY HAVING OR CARRYING A GUN!

"I don't feel right about concealed weapons,"
When you start to use the word feel instead of think,you know you are a RAT.
Howard Dean and company should stop questioning whether he is a real "democRAT",deciding issues on feelings rather than thought is rule number one with those people

Liberals have a similar mentality about a lot of issues:

You can't have guns because we can not control what you do with them

You can't control your social security benefits because we don't trust you and we want to control this, also

We can't let free market substitute for government work because then we can't control it... blah blah blah
