The Albuquerque Journal's Editorial this morning really did amaze me. They stated that the one and a half year old concealed weapons law has not been so bad afterall, and that the carnage some people had predicted hasn't materialized. That is true. However they seem to feel that the killing last week of an abusive husband who was attacking his spouse with a knife is okay. Maybe it was, but what does having a concealed weapon have to do with it? Before this law was passed anyone could walk around this state with a gun strapped to their hip as long as it was visible. Wouldn't that be a better deterrent if you are looking to scare off abusive husbands? Why is a concealed weapon better than a visible one? Police officers wear their firearms where they are visible for a reason.I am still a little aghast that it is illegal to take a gun into a wine bistro or court room, but not to the Wal Mart, or movie theater, or the newsroom of any TV station or newspaper. I wonder if the Albuquerque Publishing Company has a policy of not allowing any firearms on their premises.
Just asking!
