First off, Michael Willis is an idiot. But if being an idiot were a crime nearly every single member of local government — elected and appointed — would be a serial offender.
Willis did a very dumb thing taking a gun to Endhaven elementary to confront a would-be drug dealer. Dumb considering our laws have absolutely no common sense. And a result, Willis stands charged with a felony. A felony charge, in Mecklenburg County — land of the no-harm, no-foul violent property crime. Unreal.
There is still time to unwind this travesty. Choose wisely.

If Andrew Murray has one brain and two testicles he will hold a press conference declaring that neither the possession of drugs nor the possession of a gun constitutes a crime in a free society.

Don’t forget that a 14-year-old girl was thought to be on the receiving end of a drug-dealer’s marketing efforts. That is quite a bit different than mere possession by an adult. But I see your point.

I don’t care WHO you are, texting a 14 year old kid to pick up drugs IS, in my mind, not only a reason to carry a gun but to use it! Especially since our system keeps letting the “real” criminals off! Sick of this liberal BS where criminals are the only ones who have rights! A parent has a RIGHT and OBLIGATION to protect their child! PERIOD…

JAT, Don’t forget that the substance being peddled to the 14-year-old was illegal. That guy wasn’t fencing Maker’s Mark or Pall Malls. Why? Because Maker’s Mark and Pall Malls are LEGAL and thus have NO MARGIN when compared to untaxed drugs.
