Unless you are a real news junky you may not have heard of Fast and Furious. No, not the movie, the federal operation run by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE) where they leaned on gun dealers to allow sales to buyers connected with the Mexican cartels. The idea was supposedly to build a case against cartel members but no one was ever arrested or charged and the program became public due to a whistle blower after a Border Patrol agent was killed with a Mexican drug running wielding one of the guns. So now you are up to speed. You haven't read about it on the front page of your local paper because it makes the Administration look particularly bad.
Why am I bringing it up now? Well apparently Dianne Feinstein, Senator from California doesn't think the problem is that the federal government shouldn't be allowing gun sales to Mexican cartels. Instead she think that the real problem is that we don't have tough enough gun laws on us regular folk. Yup, that's right. The feds break the law and the problem is that our laws are too lax.
So, how does that relate to the title of my post? Dianne Feinstein is one of the few people in California with a Concealed Pistol Permit. As a former mayor and current Senator, apparently she has more rights than the rest of the people in California.
