Letters: Gun unsafety

Re “Packing and preaching,” Column One, April 5

So pistol-packing preacher James McAbee — whose law enforcement mother shot herself (twice), eventually leading to her death — proudly carries weapons without safeties, with a round chambered, in public and around his minor children. And he teaches gun safety?

And of course he’s right when he says it’s wrong to blame the tool for a shooting. Indeed, guns don’t kill people; carelessness does.
