Ga. governor says guns should be OK in airport

He suggests his own wife might want to carry gun for long terminal walks

updated 7:29 p.m. ET, Mon., July. 14, 2008

ATLANTA - Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue said Monday that guns should be allowed
in public areas of the nation's busiest airport.

And he suggested his own wife might want to pack a firearm for long walks
between the parking lot and the terminal at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta
International.

"If my wife wanted to carry a gun, if she was going from the parking lot,
walking from one of those far parking lots to pick up a grandchild or
something like that, I think that's a good idea, yes," he said Monday.

Earlier this year, Perdue, a Republican, signed legislation that allows
Georgians who have passed criminal background checks to carry concealed
weapons onto mass transit, as well as into state parks and restaurants that
serve alcohol. The new law took effect July 1.

A legal battle quickly erupted over whether the law applies to public areas
of Hartsfield-Jackson before travelers pass through security checkpoints.

'Gun-free zone'

On the day the new law took effect, Atlanta officials who oversee the
airport declared it a "gun-free zone" and said anyone carrying a gun there
could be arrested and charged with a misdemeanor. Atlanta Mayor Shirley
Franklin argued that allowing guns could endanger people because airports
remain attractive targets for terrorism.

Gun rights supporters filed a federal lawsuit challenging the designation,
saying the airport qualifies as mass transportation and has restaurants that
should be accessible under the new law.

Perdue said Monday he hasn't asked his legal counsel for guidance and was
simply offering his own "lay opinion."

An airport official referred calls to the office of Atlanta Mayor Shirley
Franklin, where a message was left seeking comment.

The law's sponsor, state Rep. Tim Bearden, called Perdue's comments "right
on the money."

"People have a right to defend themselves. That is what this law is about,"
said Bearden, a Republican and former police officer.

A spokesman for Perdue said the governor has a gun permit but his wife does
not.

A hearing is scheduled Aug. 11 in U.S. District Court for the lawsuit filed
by GeorgiaCarry.org, which wants a restraining order to keep the airport
from enforcing the gun ban.

office was wounded while coming to the woman's aid. Suffolk County
police say the gunman entered an Aflac insurance office in Bohemia and
asked to speak to the woman. Police say it's unclear how he got into
the building, which has a keypad lock. Lt. Jack Fitzpatrick says the
woman led the gunman into the supervisor's office where he pulled out
a .40-caliber handgun and began firing. The woman and the shooter died
at the scene. Fitzpatrick says the supervisor was shot in the chest.
He was airlifted to a hospital and was undergoing surgery but his
condition has not been released."

"A stolen car was used to ram into the back of Reig’s Gun Shop just
before 4:30 a.m. Friday. Less than two weeks ago, five men attempted
to rob the same shop, but the clerk shot at the suspects. Orange
County deputies said they got an alarm call to Reig's off S. Orange
Blossom Trail. Police found a large hold in the north side of the
building, and found an abandoned car about 125 feet away. They said
the stolen car appears to have been used to back into the shop,
creating a hole. On July 10, five men were accused of stealing from
the same shop. The clerk did not make it easy for them, however.
While a few of the men distracted the clerk, two others tried to steal
guns from behind the counter. The clerk was able to grab his personal
gun and started firing at the men. Police arrested three of the
suspects, but two others got away with at least one gun. Police have
not determined what exactly was taken from Friday’s robbery."

The floor give way or are you just getting shorter?


That's the kind of insult you get from people who are sooo afraid
to
post pictures of their own physical appearance, that the only
pictures of them found are on my web site.

Shit! Who would have known you were standing up? I'm so sorry.

Well, you know what the hypocrites sat about insulting people you
don't know.

Sorry, no. What do you say?

I don't say.

Indeed. All hypocrites should be so short and concise.

You're easy, but it's because you're cheap and stupid.

This very post of yours is two specific acts of your hypocrisy, OT post
and personal insult, and more will -certainly- come because you have the
willpower and intellect (and especially, the personality) of a paramecium.

Many have chimped out at me about being a hypocrite, but of the scores,
not -one-, including and especially you, has ever provided an example of
it
(like many accusations directed at me).

I am what I am.

And whatever that is, or isn't, and whether you like it, or don't, at
least it's the truth, and I don't hide in the dark like you.

Ashamed of your own name.

That's why I will -always- be strong here, and you and your team will
always be -nothing-.

I just quote.

"I just wonder why you post such demeaning garbage. I've said it
before
so it should come as no surprise that your snipes and insults toward
people you don't know do more harm to you than anybody
lse." -Kennybenny

I've posted several pictures of me on my website.

Gotta URL for that?

It's been posted many times. Seems the Internet is just too much for
some people.

It's the best you can do.

Can't find them Doug? Ho hum. Somebody else's fault no doubt.

Why would I bother?

Because this is your life Doug.

We've covered that, extensively, but you scurried, per your team
SOP.

Once again, while you perspired in the cubicle working on your
cathode-ray tan, here's where I was:

http://picasaweb.google.com/Popeye8762/20080804ColumbiaRiverValley

http://stu50guru.spaces.live.com/photos/cns!4701B94559249DAC!227/

Start with pic #8. I see what you are bragging about somewhat
differently
than you see it.

It's because you're ignorant and close minded.

That guy ain't me, and anyway, he's still working in the same place
you're
vacationing, and his view will change every day this week.

And in just a day or two, while you put the ball and chain back on your
own leg and trudged wearily back to the cubicle and your demeaning,
ungreatful boss, that guy will still be on his way to Alaska, or the Keys.

Or Laredo, or Newfinland.

You're the one (as, of course, other cubicle rats do,) that always feels
the need to comment on my life.

It's the projection of your weary, mind-numbing desperation.

We've both been here about the same amount of time, for all your
screeching and whining, and in that time I've met over 100 Rec.scubans,
and
are still friends with all but two of them.

You've only met two, for your ten years invested, and neither of them
call
you a friend, even though you followed one around with your tounge in his
crack.

That thing about posting the birth notice of your brats in the
newsletter
of a group 400 miles from where you live, where -no one- knows you, was
just
about as pathetic an act of ass-kissing as anything I've ever witnessed.

-Any- time you wanna compare lives, you know, -truthfully-, just let me
know and we'll arrange a meet, and a referee.

You have nothing else.

Today, you're doing whatever menial, grinding task you've done the
last
300 or 3000 days, under your supervisor's wrath,

I'm stretching bobwire and electric fence, to keep your kind out of
the
pasture at night, and drawing plans for an elevated bridge for farm
equipment, that I'll also build myself.

Both skills I aquired long ago, during my Combat Engineer training.

All the required tool, of course, I own.

Tomorrow I have to rebuild a clutch master on a Kubota tractor.

I've never done it, or even seen one, but it'll be no problem for me.

How in the world do you get your hands all the way around to pat
yourself
on the back?

I don't have to.

After -you- bring it up, I just tell the truth.

Although I'm far more accomplished that you, and generally successful
at -anything- I do, I have no need to pat myself on the back.

I'm just busy "gettin' it done". dude.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go teach myself how to bale those big
hay rolls.

Again, I've never done it, or seen it done, but I have about 22 acres to
do by Monday, chop chop.

I can jump on just about -any- peice of equipment, or heavy equipment,
and
be utilizing it in 5 minutes.

Enjoy your yardwork today, and try not to run over your foot with the
mower.

I posted your picture years ago, back when you were still too
frightened to post under your real name.

Oh, wait....

Some think that when you talk like an idiot you become one. Oh,
wait...

"This guy has a house with sliding glass doors and everything. It
would
be
hard for him to punch a hole in the floor to duck and shoot. God
blessed
the trailer guy with a little better source of protection eh?"

You certainly got that one right, although in your case it may be more
of a chicken/egg/first thing.
