EDITOR'S PICKS:
Another crime committed with a handgun in a city without a conceal carry law. I makes no sense not to allow law-abiding citizens to carry a gun to protect themselves when every criminal in the Southland is armed without regard for the law.

Allowing any civilian to carry a concealed firearm in a densely populated city is a terrible idea.
