Default My letter to the editor in today's paper! Please read!

The week before last, I posted a thread in which I responded to an anti gun editorial in my hometown newspaper, the Post Tribune. Well, that letter appeared in the paper today, and here is the link to it.

Glad they published your letter. It's nice to see a newspaper that's willing to publish opinions on both sides of an issue.

Hoorah!!! Well done my friend! 2 yrs in a row that there has been a school shooting while my family and I were on vacation in Florida. Last year, Virginia Tech and this year at NIU. Each time, while watching the news, while shaking my head, I took comfort in the fact that I was armed and ready to protect my family with my concealed pistol on my hip!

That was a very well written letter. You handled that very intelligently, without any ranting and raving. Well done!

Very articulate and rational. You appealed to common sense and not emotion. Well done!
