Can we lose the gun metaphors? Legal concealed carry worked out SO well in Arizona

BUDA, Texas — Talk about the gang that couldn’t shoot straight.

Some members of the Capitol press corps took a 10-hour concealed handgun safety and shooting class this week – an exercise less about getting a weapon than getting into the Capitol.

Visitors now must pass through metal detectors, virtually guaranteeing delays. But there’s an express lane for people with a concealed handgun permit.

The theory, apparently, is that people licensed to pack heat have undergone a thorough background check and can be waved right through.
