DeBose converts to CCW

I'm really glad that State Rep. Michael DeBose chose not to be a victim, and that he is choosing to be even less a victim in the future. But I really have to wonder what went on in his head when he cast his anti-CCW votes. Was it the Reverend asking "What would Jesus do?" and conveniently forgetting that what Jesus did was tell his disciples to buy a sword? Or was it a failure of imagination? Could he really not think of himself in the position of being a victim of violent crime? And if he couldn't vote on the basis of such a stark, clear, easy-to-visualize issue, what makes him think that any other vote he's ever cast is reasonable and valid?

And while we're imagining, what if he'd had a gun and used it? What would have happened to his political career?
