Tension in Ferguson


Ferguson, as you know, is in St. Louis County, Missouri.  As you also know, there has been a lot of "tension" in Ferguson since a police officer shot and killed an unarmed black teenager on August 9.

Missouri has an extremely stupid open carry law, an expansion of which goes into effect tomorrow,   Things should get even more interesting in Ferguson.
The new law will allow specially trained school employees to carry concealed guns on campuses. It also allows anyone with a concealed weapons permit to carry guns openly, even in cities or towns with bans against the open carrying of firearms. The age to obtain a concealed weapons permit also will drop from 21 to 19.

My sister and I had breakfast in Columbia, Missouri, this morning.  A couple of hours drive from St. Louis.  I noticed when we went in to the restaurant, there was a hand-written sign to the left of the door that said "This is a Second Amendment Restaurant."  When we came out, I noticed this sign on the right side of the door:


Yee-haw!
