The other day Attorney General Alberto Gonzales made a puzzling comment.
Speaking in Oklahoma City, he shut down any discussion of professors or adult students with Right-to-Carry licenses on college campuses. But he also said, "We can't guarantee complete security. We need to see what we can do as a government, on the federal level, on the state level, to ensure the safety of our students."
I agree that we need to look at steps the government can take to protect our kids, but let's be honest here. I mean, my gosh, Mr. Gonzales agrees there's no guarantee of complete security.
If that's the case (and we all know it is), then why shouldn't we also be having a discussion about trained adults legally carrying concealed firearms for their own protection and the protection of others? Texas Governor Rick Perry's willing to have that discussion. Why isn't the nation's attorney general?
You might recall that Texas Governor Rick Perry recently said that he's come to the conclusion that trained and licensed Right-to-Carry holders shouldn't be barred from carrying anywhere in the state of Texas. Oh sure, there are folks who disagree with the governor.
But at least both sides are engaged in a discussion... which is more than can be said for the attorney general.
More...
