Jerry Kilgore Wants You To Take Your Gun to the Bar

Reported in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, (today's edition) on a radio call-in show yesterday (WRVA 1140AM), Jerry Kilgore offered up an opinion that would not surprise his supporters; but, of course that does not include any sane, reasonable people.

Jerry W. Kilgore said yesterday that he favors changing the law to allow Virginians with concealed-weapons permits to carry their firearms into restaurants and bars.

(emphasis mine)

Yeah, Jerry, that's what we need, MORE guns around drunk people.  Does he think for one moment that the potential for abuse of this law outweighs any benefit he might dream up?

Nope.

He is so clearly out of touch with even his own supporters he doesn't realize that they might not appreciate someone with a concealed weapon over at Applebee's while the family dines out on Friday night.  In fact, he is so clueless he thinks he is winning this election.  He is campaigning now in Spotsylvania and Stafford counties, where there is slightly more than lukewarm support for his candidacy.

There are guns everywhere, but let's keep them out of bars and restaurant, eh Jerry W.?

My incredulity knows no bounds.
