After some discussion about what to do with his empty holsters, he decided to arm himself with the Constitution
amazing that the 8-year-old boy decided to bring the constitution into it, all by himself.

when I was in 6th grade (1977) our teacher did an exercise where she had two guys from class go out to "run an errand" and then come back, get into an argument, have one "shoot" the other with a cap gun, and then they both ran out the door. The teacher asked us to write down exactly what happened, what they said, what they were wearing, etc. - it was a lesson in subjectivity of the observer. I've never forgotten it, but more and more I think "wow I am old, that would never ever happen today"

Because the incident was an accident, police said there will be no criminal charges.
This shit drives me nuts. Since when is negligence which leads to injury not chargeable just because "it was an accident?" Auto drivers can't get away with that, why should gun owners?

Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal (R) is expected to sign a bill that even the National Rifle Association is calling the most “comprehensive gun bill” in recent state history. It allows guns in bars, nightclubs, and government buildings without security checkpoints such as libraries. It eliminates criminal charges for those who accidentally bring their guns to the airport or other secured buildings where guns are prohibited. It even expands the state’s Stand Your Ground provision to allow felons to invoke the defense, and allows guns in public schools by authorized teachers and administrators. http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2014/03/25/3418602/georgia-governor-expected-to-sign-the-most-extreme-gun-bill-in-america/#

I thought we figured all this out already. No? Oh, well.
Seriously, though, thanks to NRA nuts and their obsession with concealed carry, every fucking building in my city now has to have a decal of a gun with a slash through it to show that guns are not welcome. The elementary schools, places of worship, bookstores and coffee shops ... as if the prohibition of guns in those places is the exception, not the rule. So dispiriting to volunteer in my kids school and see the stupid stickers up. What does it teach them? That everyone in the city is likely packing? Is that the NRA long game, to try to convert America's youth to their paranoid ways? I can imagine their retort now.
"Maybe if we begin teaching our kids about gun skill and safety and let them carry them we could prevent the next whatever. If only the liberals would allow kids to carry guns to school..."

had another otherwise-relaxing hike marred by the loud, intermittent POPPOPPOP of someone enjoying their gun shooting hobby. way low on the list of shitty effects of gun culture, but point being that even when it's someone being a "good gun owner", following all laws, being conscientious about keeping their guns out of kids' hands, etc, just having it around for peace of mind and target practice, it's at the least an annoying fucking hobby. Used to play tennis at courts near the local gun club, ahhh what a peaceful way to spend a weekend afternoon, the sunshine, the friendly athletic competition, the incessant POPOPOPOPOPOP.
