Who Gets a Pass on PSH?

When I first saw this over at Unc's Place, I was gonna have me some fun, but when I read it, I decided to let it go.

Why? Because it took place at Baylor College of Medicine, and I expect Docs (and Doc-lings) to be freaky about firearms. Same for clergy. It's their job to heal and bless people, and most of their interaction with firearms and their owners come from the bad side, ie gangs, murderers, etc. Although it's a very small part of guns in America, it's the part they see.

Besides, I don't think I'd want to go to a Doc that had a "Kill 'em All"* sign up in the office. Could you imagine hearing a priest saying "Shoot the bastards"? It's not in their job description.

Don't get me wrong, I'll still jump all over any gun banner, but unless it's really crazy talk, I tend to give those folks a pass.

* - Does not apply to Combat Medics/Corpsmen. One of the best ones I knew had a tattoo saying "Save the Best, Kill the Rest". Those folks really rock.

Oh really?

If the school found an empty bottle of engine oil on the Baylor campus would it be expected that they would shut the school down for a day because some cars are misused?

For Some Reason

They're not too freaky about cars. Motorcycles, on the other hand, they hate with almost as much passion as guns.
