Weekly gun bias check - Burton in the news!

Alphecca's weekly roundup of gun bias in the news is up and - wonder of wonders - it includes a semi-local entry.

Apparently some of the Burton, OH, locals have their pants in an bind (literally?) because The Gunrunner gun store has posters of women with guns in its front window. The posters are from the store's "Girls of the Gunrunner" calendars, which feature sexy women with guns. Apparently, girls with guns and historic small-town charm don't mix in the minds of the Burton hoi polloi. I've talked to (and bought guns from) Scott, the owner of the store, and he seems like a determined sort. He also gets points from me because he's a former journalism teacher.

It's probably the local Amish population driving this brouhaha. I mean, who's going to look at an Amish girl in her bonnet and somber blue when you can gander at bare bellies, bandoleros and single action Colt pistols?
