A town in southern Indiana, only four miles north of Louisville, Ky., now welcomes citizens and their guns to its council meetings. Clarksville officials enacted a provision last month allowing citizens to carry their weapons to public meetings at the town hall.
It's a bad idea that lacks common sense. Worse, it could lead to unnecessary worry and tragedy.
By nature, most folks don't attend city or town council meetings to pat their elected officials on the back. Many times, they arrive primed for an argument as they bellow openly at elected officials. Their discontent could be over a rezoning plan near their home, or a new building project they oppose. |

| Are they saying that law abiding people can't argue a political point with local officials without shooting them?!? |

TO REMEMBER |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
