Guns and Cowboys

I'm guessing it was a couple of "Bubbas". From ESPN:

DALLAS -- Hall of Fame receiver Michael Irvin says he calmly chatted with a gunman in another vehicle after the armed passenger turned out to be a Dallas Cowboys fan.

Irvin, who was not harmed, says he was "very afraid."

A Dallas police report says Irvin was stopped at a red light Monday night when two men in a truck pulled up next to him.

The driver rolled down his window, so Irvin did the same, thinking the two men recognized the radio talk show host and television commentator.

The passenger flashed a gun. Then the retired NFL star heard one of them call out his name and mentioned being a "huge Cowboy fan."

Irvin says he began talking with the men about the team's disappointing 9-7 season and Dallas not making it to the Super Bowl.

The pair eventually drove off.

This is exactly why conceal and carry should not be passed here in Wisconsin. For every responsible gunowner there is a dipshit (a number of local bloggers would be included in this description) who thinks what happened to Michael Irvin is funny. Unfortunately, what those who rally for conceal and carry forget is even one incident like this is too much.

Prescient Headline?

Considering Republican support for the idea of conceal/carry and the legion of gun nuts that claim membership in the Goofy Old Party, this headline in the Journal Sentinel regarding John McCain's visit to Hudson, WI to address voters is either unfortunate, eery, or makes perfect sense ...

A Knife Wouldn't Have Done This

Yes, but those gun safety classes will ensure this kind of thing never happens.

A sport utility vehicle was tailgating a car on a rural Washington County highway late Saturday before it pulled alongside and someone inside fired a gun, critically injuring a girl sleeping in the back seat, according to two people close to another teen in the car.
