[SML] NYC Stagehand shot by police

[Chip Wood]

I absolutely agree w/ you and so does my retired Las Vegas cop 
son-in-law.  However, I will ask one question and one only.  Why does 
the NRA state that it would be better if everybody were carrying in any 
location, esp if pressure and massive adrenaline dumps could endanger 
innocent bystanders?
