In early 1997, I was a 16 year old high school junior with a weekend job as the closing cashier at a fast food restaurant in Nashville. Paul Dennis Reid was going around killing people… [...] Last year, in an attacked-by-one-of-those-fifth-circle-denizens post, WizardPC examined the training differences between securing an armed security guard permit and a handgun carry permit here in Tennessee – in short, the differences boiled down to eight hours of firearms classroom training for the former, versus four hours… [...] Very few “progressives”/”liberals” bother to trouble themselves with those annoying little things known as “facts”, but even fewer still will actually have the backbone to admit to this shortcoming in public.
