Legal and smart can be two different things. I'm sure there is more to the story as well.

John,

I actually spent some time at the Brady site last night. They have a full-scale assault :shock: set up to attack the idea of guns in schools and on campus. I just don't think we need any kind of bad media reports and I really think this could have been avoided if the CHL had just drove on.

Re: Motorist accused of pulling gun on student not facing charge

The newspaper reports the kid was on the CHLs rear bumper. Did the kid pass him and then turn? Did the CHL do a u-turn to go back? Why would the CHL follow him onto school property (anywhere for that matter)? I agree there's not enough information but clearly it could have been avoided if the CHL simply drove on and left the kid alone.

The Brady Bunch is just looking for this kind of media to make their case for tighter laws.

It does not sound lke there was real reason to draw other than anger. It's incidents like this that do not help our cause.
