A unique loophole in a new security procedure means a gun permit is like a special-access pass into the domed building, allowing people who are certified to carry a gun to bypass lines at the metal detectors that were set up after a shooting incident earlier this year."

Crazy you say? Conceal-carry permit holders have been through rigorous courses, had background scans and they have no idea whether the guy (or gal) next to them is carrying a weapon.

Still think it is crazy.  Look at John R. Lott Jr.'s research.  We know that cities in the U.S. with the toughest gun control laws also have the highest crime rates.  If you want to argue with the cause and effect of that, at least consider that some of the worst mass murders have occurred in countries where gun control laws are the strictest.

I've always liked Texas.  Related:  What happens to coyotes who target the wrong puppies.
