Where'll gun extremists end?

Isn't it enough to have concealed weapons in our schools? Just when will the gun extremists be satisfied? Now Sen. Mark Madsen, R-Lehi, is sponsoring a bill to make it legal for anyone to carry a loaded gun in their car — no permit required, no training, no nothing. That is just plain crazy. The Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification reports that most of its revocations of concealed weapon permits are for felony drunken driving.

What's next? Maybe 50 mm cannons on the back of Hummers?
