Lus.. I read a few laws on carrying a concealled weapon and he would have NO law suit. There are many places you can't carry..theaters, court rooms and concert halls..damn..if you don't like the movie what are you gonna do?? Anyway they can stop you from carrying in city hall.. I think if youre an off duty cop you could keep it, but as far as john public do you really need to carry in a meeting?

Just what council meetings need to kick things up a notch - Joe and Ray packin' heat.

THis all goes back to the responsibility issue, and the fact that to a poster, almost every poster at DD fails to grasp the concept.

Just because one CAN do something, it doesn't always mean that one SHOULD do something. Yes, I understand the Right to Bear Arms (no Granma, I'm not talking about having hairy arms, or wearing short sleeves. That's something else). This is a "Time and Place" issue. Council Chambers are neither. Ever.

"I'm outa' order? Dis whole 'ting is outa order!" BLAM!!! BLAM!!! BLAM!!!

"Is you'se guys talkin' ta' me?"

I was watching C-span the other day. Not once did anyone point a finger at a committee member and name call. Not once did a speaker at the podium foam at the mouth like a rabid dog during their monologue. Not once did anyone come up to the podium dressed like they just dragged themselves from a dustbin. No one stood at the podium wearing a hat (they took it off to show respect for their surroundings).

And because respect was shown to the office and the surroundings, and none of the above antics were pulled, there was absolutely no reason for the committee members to respond by adjourning a meeting or removing a camera or snicker at comments made.

Check your basketful of crazy (along with your handgun) at the door before you sign your name to that paper to speak before a legislative body.
