Gun-free zone.(SPEAK OUT)(Letter to the editor)
Jul 01, 2009; ... Like you, I don't know where to start. I read the brilliant opinions--sarcasm intended--of Frank Reedmon (Speak Out, May/June, 2009) and had to respond.

In 30 years of being a known gun guy, dozens of folks have shown or told me of their war trophy/family heirloom "taken off ...
