Stupid human tricks

Antioch CM Sam Coleman is bound and determined to follow through on his intention to allow guns in rural parks not because they have especially high crime rates but only because they are rural. He is due to make an appearance at the Parks Board on Tuesday to press his case, which ought to give board members an opportunity to challenge him to show why our generally crime-free rural parks require guns for safety:
