Three times in the past month or so, I've sauntered into a store and tried to buy ammunition for one of my guns. No ammunition was to be found. For my .22 caliber pistol and rifles.
Someone out there is hoarding ammo and I'm getting a little nervous thinking about the herd of armadillos I know is gathering in Andres Thicket, ready to pounce upon us as soon as I snickety-pop the last .22 shell at a charging target.
I don't need bullets for an AK-47 or a a nosecone for a ballistic missile, just some little ol' long-rifle .22 shells.
According
to the National Conference of State Legislatures, at least 25 states this year
have considered restrictions on certain types of weapons or ammunition
accessories. Not in Arkansas.
The Arkansas Legislature loosened restrictions on carrying
firearms in churches and higher-education institutions. Lawmakers also exempted
former law-enforcement officers, court bailiffs and county sheriffs, from
concealed-handgun licensing requirements, including mandatory training.
Other bills included recognizing all states’ concealed-handgun licenses in Arkansas, allowing liquor store employees to possess a firearm and granting authority to a church that operates a school to permit concealed handguns on its campus. The salons still won't permit a citizen to carry a gun in the state Capitol. Good thing, too.
As
Tina Fey said recently, doing her schtick as Sarah Palin, “If more people have
guns, there are less guns in stores, you betcha.”
