Opinions/Editorials Title: Second Amendment Rights Apparently Don’t Apply Around Sarah Palin Dear Editor: On Monday evening Jan. 24, Sarah Palin returned to her public speaking tour with a fundraising speech for a conservative Christian school in Lubbock, Texas. For anywhere from $250 to $2,500 a ticket, over 1,000 Texans listened to Palin deliver her version of the Sermon on the Mount. Her staff enforced what the local press called “tight security.” Despite a Texas law that forbids the banning of concealed handguns held by Texas permit-holders in public venues, all members of the audience had to bring a photo ID, pass through metal detectors, and anyone who tried to bring in a weapon, permit or not, was subject to arrest. Although media were barred from the event, it appears two positive things occurred that evening: Palin learned from the Arizona tragedy that concealed weapons, even when the owners have completed the mandatory 10 hours Texas training course, should not be anywhere around a speaker whose motto has been: “Don’t retreat, reload.” In addition, in another positive development, Palin did finish her speech, and did not quit halfway through to pursue a more lucrative opportunity. I did take the opportunity to call the Lubbock Police Department on Tuesday, and was advised that no one questioned the forbidding of guns by Palin’s staff, and Palin indicated she would do so at all future engagements. Apparently neither Texas law nor Second Amendment rights apply in the vicinity of the self-proclaimed “mama grizzly.” Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest I'm betting this "author" would take a different spin on this if it were the Chocolate Messiah banning licensed gun owners from carrying concealed weapons to one of his speeches. In other words,this was cheap situational outrage. Nothing more than an excuse to slam Palin. "I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection. As everyone knows, I was honored and proud to run with him. And Todd and I were with him in D.C. just a week ago."

Nothing more than an excuse to slam Palin. Those are the common threads Bri looks for in any article he posts on any topic. Well, [war's] got to do something for attention, his multiple personalities aren't speaking to him any more, and his imaginary friends keep finding excuses not to come over. #3. To: Brian S (#0) This a story about property rights as I see it. An owner of private property has the right to ban guns from his property. Is a scheduled event considered private property also? Could someone organize a private event on public property and ban guns? I don't know, but I don't see this as a 2A violation. It very well may be a violation of the Texas law.
#4. To: Brian S (#0) Since you had to pay to get in, it cannot reasonably be considered a "public venue." That is, it was a PRIVATE venue. Thus, they could enforce security as they saw fit. Nice try, Brian. "There will be no more money when the U.S. dollar has no value, until that time we can keep printing more." -- go65, LF's answer to Ben Bernanke -- #5. To: sneakypete (#1) Maybe this is Sarahs new gig, Sarah is now competeing with Michele Bachmann for most beautifull Reich Bitch award. Conclusion,.....Elites/bankers are having things go their way,.....the Tea Party reactionaries in Congress seem as powerfull as those small dogs girls carry around in their purse's.
#6. To: sneakypete (#1) In other words,this was cheap situational outrage. Nothing more than an excuse to slam Palin. I thought you stopped being a Palinite?
#7. To: We The People (#3) Could someone organize a private event on public property and ban guns? The Feral Government already bans guns in public buildings and on public property. Even Fat Teddy's personal bodyguard had his Uzi confiscated when he tried to enter the Senate building with it under his coat. Of course,the feral cops apologized and gave it back to him later,but that's beside the point. "I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection.

To: Parrot with speed dial (#5) Bachmann says as much bizarre totalitarian stuff as Palin does. More.

Nothing more than an excuse to slam Palin. It's a real challenge for you to see a issue beyond the politics of those involved,ain't it? It's all partisan spin with you 24/7. I don't jump down her throat so in YOUR alleged mind,that means I am suddenly a Palinite. Look,just because you are a Barry-Bot,that doesn't mean everyone else is a blind sheeple.

#11. To: sneakypete (#9) BTW, did you see Boofer's opus from El Pee Lite?
#12. To: meguro (#11) BTW, did you see Boofer's opus from El Pee Lite? NO. When was this? "I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection.
