Updated: How NOT To Do This (Unless Trying to Prove Point That Guns = Evil)

My Month With a Gun: Week One [emphasis mine]:

Yes, I bought a handgun and will carry it everywhere I go over the next 30 days. I have four rules: Carry it with me at all times, follow the laws of my state, only do what is minimally required for permits, licensing, purchasing and carrying, and finally be prepared to use it for protecting myself at home or in public.

I think I'll just file this under the "idiots" portion of idiots and knaves.

Personally, I smell a set-up by Ms. Yewman.

Update 2: Rich Hailey feels that Ms. Yewman entirely Ms'[ed] the Mark; however, he certainly doesn't.

Heidi Yewman fails to take the necessary steps, and instead of proving that the law is too easy, proves only that she is an arrogant, reckless woman who is willing to endanger others to score a political point.

She should be ashamed of herself.

Finally, I do want to point out that even in this worst case scenario, an untrained, highly emotional, nervous wreck of a woman carried a loaded gun into a public space, and nobody got shot. There were no children harmed in the making of her post.

Why? Because guns do not have volition. Unless the person wearing one decides to pull it out of the holster and pull the trigger, it will not go off. The gun is not the problem; the person carrying it, as so aptly demonstrated by Ms. Yewman, is.
