Annie, Get Your Gun!

The New York Times ran a story today on Greenleaf, a small Idaho town of 862, that is contemplating an ordinance recommending that all households in the town own a gun in ordered to be prepared in case of an emergency (see New York Times story here – may require registration).

Unreported, but also being considered by the town, an ordinance that would require the Greenleaf high school to purchase a shoulder-held surface-to-air missile launcher and a rocket-propelled infantry jet flame thrower to help deter students from smoking or making out under the school’s baseball bleachers.

[Oh and by the way, that story had already been covered by the Idaho Press-Tribune several weeks ago – way to go for the scoop, New York Times! (see Idaho Press-Tribune story here)]
