A town in southern Indiana, only four miles north of Louisville, Ky., now welcomes citizens and their guns to its council meetings. Clarksville officials enacted a provision last month allowing citizens to carry their weapons to public meetings at the town hall.
It's a bad idea that lacks common sense. Worse, it could lead to unnecessary worry and tragedy.
By nature, most folks don't attend city or town council meetings to pat their elected officials on the back. Many times, they arrive primed for an argument as they bellow openly at elected officials. Their discontent could be over a rezoning plan near their home, or a new building project they oppose. |

| Are they saying that law abiding people can't argue a political point with local officials without shooting them?!? |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
