Thanks Byron for alerting us to this. The author of the article, Mr. Chris Woolston, is a freelance science/medical journalist who writes The Healthy Skeptic, a biweekly column for the Los Angeles Times. I decided to write him directly and I used some of your wording, I'm sure you don't mind because it appears that you used some of what I published here previously: http://www.texasshooting.com/TexasCHL_F ... &sk=t&sd=a
Hey, working together we're stronger. Great minds think alike.

I suggest that if any of you choose to write Mr. Woolston, it is imperative that you remain respectful and avoid name calling or inflammatory language as this will render your message ineffective. Mr. Woolston gets paid to publish, it's never a good idea to get on the wrong side of someone who buys ink by the barrel. He should not have call nor reason to publish anything insulting or demeaning that he received from us 'gun nuts'.

He lives in Billings, MT with his wife and children you may write to him: woolstons4@bresnan.net
Remember, please be nice and do not write to him anonymously. I included my phone number and address in my letter to him.

Mr. Woolston's employer who paid him for this article, is:
Consumer Health Interactive
A CVS Caremark Company
436 14th Street, Suite 1500
Oakland, CA 94612
510-873-8440

(Note to admin, I only made the personal contact information available because the individual has put himself in the public eye and his contact info is available as part of his credentials.)

The original article was reviewed by a Professor of Pediatrics at Utah School of Medicine, I copied Dr. Byington on my email to Mr. Woolston:
Professor CARRIE L BYINGTON,

Not publishing my entire letter here, unless y'all want, because it's a blend of what I wrote before (see link above) and bdickens letter. I am offering the first paragraph as a template:

As a father of three, I read with interest your article on Kids and Guns published on the CVS website. Having read some of your other articles, I was disappointed to see an author with your impressive credentials and research skills promogulate such a preponderance of misinformation. The means delineated for insuring safety were so rigid it made me wonder if you had an underlying agenda.

And I concluded with: Children learning gun safety at a young age are less likely to become victims or for that matter, perpetrators.
