"Todd, who is a former Memphis police officer"

Former. Not retired. I wonder if there's a story there.

Stephen,

Guns do belong in bars, but not on the person of those who have had anything to drink. He did have it coming. What a nit.

Do guns belong in cars?

I only ask because they caught him with the gun in his car while (allegedly) driving drunk. However, there's no credible evidence he had it in a bar, especially since he wasn't even carrying on-body when he was stopped. The handgun was "stuffed between the driver's seat and center console" according to one report, which also said he didn't need a license to carry because he's an ex Memphis cop.

The gun didn't jump out of the holster and attack a Sunday School even though this guy was drunk?

Funny, I thought sure that was bound to happen, the way some people talk.
