Utah's law allowing permit-holders to carry within schools has received coverage in the Times Dispatch (Richmond, Virginia).

Gun laws trigger 2 states' debates.

I'm shocked.
That reporter managed to stop wringing of hands & cold sweating in fear long enough to type that just slightly (cough) biased crap.

And if gun fearing idiots don't want to move here because of our pro-protection laws it's not going to hurt my feelbads none. They are truly welcome to stay where they are & be potential victims to their hearts content. :wink:

Is Total Doofus a reasonable term here?

I read the article & found it as ya'all have-pitiful. Therefore I e-mailed the reporter concerning this issue. I was one of the people polled for the poll which the reporter referenced. While doing that poll I stated my concerns about the wording, "do you agree or disagree with guns in the schools?" I stated at the time that I was agaqinst people illegally carrying in the schools, but that I felt no threat from legal ccw holders carrying while on the school property, or in the school. I was told by the pollster that almost everyone she spoke with had said the same thing. I guess that is why the poll came out with 70% against guns in schools. Polls that do not ask questions appropriately to accommadate legitimate answers should be banned. Anyone else ever hear of the book, "How to Lie With Statistics?" I have a copy & the way that poll was done just goes to showthe bias that was used.
I also feel that the reporter got it way wrong!

"How to Lie With Statistics?"

Heck, anybody stay awake through college statistics? The precarious nature of questions and questionaires was hammered into us almost from day one.

Telll me the answer that you want, and I can shape the questions to show overwhelming public support for your position.
