How bad was Kennesaw, that they felt like they needed to do something this extreme. I'd also take this law to task.... it's as much my right to live in Kennesaw and not own a handgun as it is your right to live there and own one. -- Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer SSTWebworks 7241 Jillspring Ct.

Oh, really? Ever been to Kennesaw, Georgia? It's the safest well-populated city in the country, which started the year following the establishment of a law making it illegal to *not* own a handgun. Many people carry open holstered in Kennesaw, and lots more carry concealed. The police let you use their range and make free training available.
