I am opposed to the Concealed Carry Bill AB 148 for a myriad of reasons.

Firstly, students and teachers don’t feel safe, meaning that this will effect our learning environments. Students and teachers alike will be more worried about someone pulling a weapon out in a fit of anger and using it than they are about the educational topic they are discussing. I’m sure the need, and therefore cost, for security around our schools, public buildings, daycares, and colleges will rise as well.

With our unseasonably warm temperatures during this President's Day holiday weekend, it feels like it is time to light up the barbecue, invite some friends over and celebrate.

If this is what you are planning to do in the coming days please remember not to drink and drive.

It will last anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour Thursday evening. And States of the State are usually like States of the Union: Laundry lists of programs sandwiched between rhetoric meant to be soaring. And always, always too long.
So here is some friendly advice: Have alcohol at your side as you w...
