Ladies and Gentlemen,

I need your help. I do not have the time to scour every news source to find this evidence.

Here’s what I need. I need links to news articles where legally armed citizens have gone into a bar, gotten drunk and started shooting up the bar and the people inside.

The reason why I am asking for this is because a bunch of left-wing hoplophobes are screaming about how they will not patronize an establishment that allows legally armed citizens to also patronize that establishment, simply because of such a fear.

In response, I can name several other “gun free” zones where unlawfully armed people bent on evil killed defenseless people, who because of local, state or national laws the lawfully armed citizen was not allowed.

Luby’s in Killeen. McDonalds in San Ysidro. Columbine. Virginia Tech. Shall I go on?

People like Left Wing Cracker and Wendi C. Thomas are, in their normal rabid knee-jerk reaction, are upset that non-drinking armed citizens are allowed into establishments that serve alcohol. They think that those who legally carry firearms are two seconds away from blasting away at somebody.

So, Wendi has started the “Eat Gun Free in TN” blog, where she will loudly proclaim establishments that prohibit legal firearms from being brought inside. Of course, signs like this do not prohibit the unlawful carrying of firearms. It makes them magnets for those who like to do evil.

I will admit that there has been one, one instance that I can recall here in Memphis where a legally armed citizen made some bad choices and another man paid for it with his life. Now, that’s been since 1997 when concelaed carry was changed to a “shall issue” here in Tennessee.  I myself had a CCW license, issued that same year, and I had it until I developed my mental illness.  So, one instance in 12 years, while tragic because of the loss of life, is very small against the documented lawful uses of legally armed citizens saving the lives of themselves, their family and countless others.

Now if these people will patronize only gun-free establishments, and will avoid at all costs ones that do allow armed citizens, then the logical extention is that their own homes are gun-free zones. Why don’t they mount a similar sign in front of their homes?

I mean, carry your convictions all the way, you know what I mean?
