Georgia's Lieutenant Governor is a little unclear of a concept
Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle on Monday shot down plans one lawmaker has to expand the places gun owners in Georgia may legally carry concealed weapons. Cagle, speaking with reporters at his Capitol office, said he had “no appetite” to revisit the concealed carry law. Sen. Mitch Seabaugh (R-Sharpsburg) has been considering a bill that would expand the places where guns would be allowed. The current law bans weapons at places the public gathers, a description that includes churches and college campuses. ... Cagle was emphatic in his opposition Monday. "Let me be clear," he said, adding that the issue was dealt with last year. "People should be content with where we are."

Cagle was emphatic in his opposition Monday.
"Let me be clear," he said, adding that the issue was dealt with last year. "People should be content with where we are."
Emphasis mine.
You know what Lt. Gov. Cagle? People aren't content. And your job isn't to tell them they should be.
Should blacks have been content to sit at the back of the bus? Should gays be content to be stuck in the closet? Should the poor and downtrodden be content to live a sub par life? No. And gun owners who can be trusted to carry their weapons to the grocery store can be trusted to carry them anywhere.
The location has no bearing on a person's intent to cause harm. Arbitrary boundaries do not cause a person to become a psychopathic murderer once they are crossed. Psychopaths and murderers do not care about boundaries either.
One would think being a Lt. Gov. would mean you had a basic grasp of logic.
