Kevorkian Applies For Weapons Permit

Compiled From Wire Services

Dr. Jack Kevorkian, who’s helped at least 32 people commit suicide since 1990, has applied for a concealed-weapons permit, according to a published report.

Citing an unidentified source close to Kevorkian, The Oakland Press of Pontiac reported Saturday that the retired pathologist is afraid of “right-wing nuts” who might oppose his assisted suicide stance.

Kevorkian attorney Geoffrey Fieger said Kevorkian expects his application to be denied. Another one of Kevorkian’s attorneys, Mike Odette, and medical supplier Neal Nicol also applied for concealed-weapons permits, the paper said.
