He's the rep in my home district. How I vote is my own business but I will say he received an "A" NRA rating and doesn't appear to come across as one of the gun-grabbing super liberal dems.

I'm Ok with just about anyone protecting themselves. I'm glad he got an "A" rating from the NRA, which means he probably hasn't voted explicitly for gun control measures.
The article did mention others but did not name them. I suspect some are people who have voted for gun control and don't want to be shown as hypocrites.

It would certainly be interesting if the biggest proponents of gun control measure were seen to be packin' heat.
Ok for them, not for the "little people", I suppose.

Besides the tragedy that occurred on Saturday, you'd think after Sept 11th, the War on Terror, and the Fort Hood shooting, that Politicians would have gotten the hint earlier. Makes you wonder if they really get it.

I'd love to see a trainer in AZ offer Joe Zamudio a class. He did a good job, he is a Sheep Dog who ran towards the sound of the gunfire the other day during the shooting in AZ.
I want to offer my thoughts and prayers to the victims and their familes, especially little nine year old Christiana Green.

I was at a kabob place in NoVA and was having a civil but frank discussion with my Muslim host about women's rights in Islamic countries. 2 Muslims started swearing at me and stormed off.
In other words, agreed 100%.

I don't know if I would trust a guy who only completed 49.2% of his passes to hit what he's aiming at :P
