Mayor Ardis wants Peoria to become a test city for concealed-carry legislation. I don't dislike Mayor Ardis, but on a smaller scale, he kind of does for me, what Ken Hinton does for a lot of you. :) I ofen find myself asking "wth"? To raise the highly excitable issue of concealed carry at a time when the City of Peoria is in the midst of a rash of shootings - once again I am left asking "wth".
I hope that he has seen the ignorant, immature comments in the Journal Star in response to his suggestion. I pray that he will be embarassed by what he sees there and drops the issue. If you arm these people along with the criminals and the police, it's time for Granny (and everybody else) to get her gun.
(Granny already got the gun, just need to get her papers in order).
