Can't Find It Now

I know I saw that there will be an expansion of concealed carry to all states in the new gun control bill, but I can't find that article again. Maybe I can post a link later this afternoon.

More of This

Just after dawn one recent Saturday, the Rev. McAbee strapped a Glock .40 to his waist and drove deep into the East Texas pine woods to Dirty Harry's shooting range.
He began teaching gun classes shortly after he earned his nickname, and cites Scripture that he says justifies the classes: Psalm 144:1, "The Lord has trained me for battle"; and Luke 22:36, in which Jesus instructs the disciples to arm themselves.
A feel good story about a pardoned felon/pastor training others in firearms. The story from the LA Times has a few factual errors and, what I would call, security issues, but overall a good piece. Go read it.

Poetry Meets Real Life

The lead-in description is so eloquent.
I was in my house... in North Carolina. It was fall...I heard the rhythm of someone walking on the leaves and they came to my door.
And then it turns all Joe Biden-esque.
And somebody actually turned the knob. So I said, "Stand back! Stand four feet back because I'm going to shoot now!" Boom! Boom! The police came by and said, 'Ms. Angelou, the shots came from inside the house.' I said, 'Well, I don't know how that happened.'
Who would have thought Maya Angelou had it in her?
