SHARP SHOOTIN’ AND SHARP THINKIN’ IN ARIZONY by Steve Nadis

File this under: “Isn’t our country great?” Lawmakers in Arizona are trying to pass a bill that will allow people to bring guns into bars. It’s a brilliant idea that will hopefully spread like wildfire (an apt simile?) to saloons throughout the land, conjuring up raucous, fun-filled scenes from movies like “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence.” I can’t heap enough praise on the wise legislators of the Grand Canyon State. At the risk of repeating myself, I can only say: “This is one heckuva country.”

    I don‘t know whether or not to believe this, even though you did file it under "true." But if it is, in fact, true, it is truly unbelievable.

    I agree Lindsey. I think it is true, but I still can‘t believe it.

    Is there a chemist in the audience who can tell us what Liberty‘s valence is?

    Hey Gorman. I‘m no chemist, but I know a good joke when I see one, even if I don‘t understand it.

    Allowing people to bring guns into bars could be one of the worst ideas I’ve ever heard of. Guns and alcohol do not mix well. It wouldn’t take much for a drunken fool to flip out and start lightin up the bar because of a lost game of pool. People go to bars to drink and have a good time. What exactly is getting accomplished besides a potential gun war by allowing guns to be brought into bars?
