Another anti-gun hypocrite
Wayne LaPierre (who has fixed the picture issue) notes that:
In Jackson, Mississippi, Mayor Frank Melton is scheduled to go on trial for illegally carrying his concealed firearm inside a church, a school, and a park.
…
Melton was one of the first mayors to sign up with Bloomberg’s anti-gun group, and he followed his meeting at Gracie Mansion with a call to ban all gun shows in Jackson.
I guess that’s enough to keep him in Bloomberg’s good graces, because as of this writing, he’s still on the list of mayors fighting for New York-style gun-control laws… even in Mississippi.

How did they bust him at a Church, School, and park all at once?

All three. He has a habit of not following the law when it comes to packing.

If you qualify for a CCW license, carrying in all of those places should be legal – but I’ve no sympathy whatsoever for someone who disobeys a law he himself advocated.
