(via Drudge) Mandatory rent-a-cops - with guns:

The new regulations will make it mandatory for any store larger than 500 square meters - including hotels, swimming pools, amusement parks, movie houses, gas stations, and outdoor fairs - to employ an armed guard.

I like the idea that certain current and former military members get an automatic pass to conceal carry. There was some talk (though I can't recall where now) that the US should allow certain folks who already carry a gun as part of their job to be able to conceal carry on airplanes. This would effectively increase the size of the sky marshall force without costing anything. I like the idea as long as there is some sort of check on the ammo. I'd hate to see someone sucked out a depressurized plane because a round over-penetrated.
