A believer in hypothetical criminals, bogeymen and "The Only Ones."

"If you've got a concealed weapon, don't try to protect me,"; he said. "I'll take my chances with the security forces." This quote from a guy interviewed for a story in today's Salt Lake Tribune and found via a post at The High Road.

That hypothetical criminal is a bogeyman to Steven Gunn of the Gun Violence Prevention Center of Utah. He knows state law allows guns into the airport, but he wishes it didn't. "There are plenty of authorities with guns at the airport, he said."

That's a bright example of an otherwise intelligent citizen believing in the power of "The Only Ones" that David Codrea, is always highlighting in his valuable blog, The War on Guns. I wonder if Mr. Gunn believes that he could put on his seatbelt in time to reduce injury before an automobile accident. I seriously doubt it, yet he would no doubt, not see the connection between individual self protection and responsibility through proper use of a seat belt or a sidearm. I'm also pretty certain Mr. Gunn, (or his family) would be quick on the lawsuit trail should something happen to him in the firearms carry approved area of the airport or anywhere else where he depended on "The Only Ones" to protect him from a bogeyman.
