I've been reading the Daily Press for about 25 years, and for about the first 20 or so, it was a predictably knee-jerk anti gun newspaper. Its headquarters were in Chacago, which was about all one needed to know. Many of their editorials were quite condescending, as if the editors were missionaries to the primitive Southland, sent to educate us poor, benighted and backward rubes. For many years, one of their chief columnists was one Jim Spencer, who never met a gun he didin't hate, no matter the circumstances. In more recent years, the paper has become notably more centrist (which is to say "far right" in the minds of most other journalists). A few years back, Ms. Dietrich made mention in a column that she was considering getting a CCW herself. That alone would have been apostasy during the paper's old regime. Now this. Good Lord, next they'll start running an "Armed Citizen" column just like the NRA magazine.
And I'll bet Tamara DOES have a CCW by now.
