A British school teacher jailed for six months because she fired an airgun at the ground during a stand-off with a group of youths was freed by London's Court of Appeal Wednesday.

Included in the amendment [to the concealed carry bill] is a requirement for licensed citizens to "carry concealed the maximum number of pistols for personal protection due to paranoia and stark terror of the licensee toward the licensee's family, friends, neighbors, strangers, and possible enemy invaders."

Then, there are activities the liberal media concede are legal and legitimate -- but seek to demonize nevertheless.

For instance, a legal DeLay trip financed by a conservative non-profit organization was challenged because the non-profit, in turn, received contributions from groups which could not fund the trip directly. Even the Washington Post concedes that DeLay had no knowledge of the group's funding, had no obligation to find out, and therefore acted legally.

Funny. Bill Clinton committed perjury -- and the liberal media rallied behind them. So the members of the Washington press corps are obviously no sticklers for ethics.

The bottom line? This fight is about an effective, pro-gun congressman who is being persecuted because of his beliefs.
