Vet’s Reference To Gun Falls Flat

Item: Veteran says gun comment was a joke: City officials not amused after Tucson incident /Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d’Alene Press

More Info: A Coeur d’Alene man’s reference to bringing guns to a meeting with city officials shouldn’t be taken seriously, he said Tuesday. The gun reference came during a meeting Monday between city officials and the American Legion on the proposed McEuen Field redevelopment plan. Sherman Randolph said Tuesday that his remarks were inappropriate in light of the shooting tragedy in Tucson, Ariz., but Coeur d’Alene city officials shouldn’t take the comment as a literal threat. He refused to apologize.

Question: What do you make of Sherman Randolph’s remark?
