Web site posters misunderstood editorial on guns
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2005 9:27 am
Hello everyone,
Well, this is my first post to this forum. Steve sent me over here from Packing.org to post the following article about a gun editorial appearing in the Tahlequah Daily Press in the neighbouring state of Oklahoma.
I have come across an interesting set of articles in the Tahlequah Daily Press that may be of some interest to you. An August 5th article by Sean Kennedy entitled "The right weapon, training make for gun safety" offered an "objective" story about self-defense carry in Oklahoma. There are some disconcerting comments by some interviewees such as Jeff Wilson who says "I'm not one of those freaks who drags a gun around everywhere I go, but I do a lot of driving [to and from Siloam Springs, Ark.] at night, and my car's not in too good a shape."
Anyway, that article really annoyed a lot of people. Many of them decided to write their opinions about the article on the Daily Press' website. The comments were so many that the Tahlequah Daily Press printed an editorial just 4 days later entitled "Web site posters misunderstood editorial on guns". As you can guess, people again were quick to send their opinions to the Tahlequah Daily Press.
To contrast, there is an August 8th article on their site entitled "Get a gun, stop a terrorist?". I know what I think. Maybe some people here would like to send their opinions to the staff at the Daily Press.
Stay safe...
