For anyone interested... I've posted all the media that I've been able to find so far regarding the Dickson City Incident on my website, here:

If anyone has any links to any other online media about the DC-OCB incident that I don't have here already, please send me a PM so that I can get it online.

Audio from the City Council meeting will be up as soon as I finish cleaning it up.

Sweet!!

I'll be looking for it with baited breath.

I'm stunned at how fast word of this incident is spreading. It's starting to show up in bulletins on Myspace.

Quick update - the meeting audio has been uploaded - I thought maybe I could restore it a bit, but it was about as good as it was going to get from the recorder.

I'll play around with it more, later - but for now I'm going to bed. Enjoy it folks...

Very nice. I am glad you took the time to put together what some of us needed to get the background and the facts. I for one did not have access to the various media sources regarding this story and appreciate your compilation.

Big difference in right v. smart


05/21/2008

A small group of gun owners who decided to openly parade their hardware recently at a Dickson City buffet restaurant were out to prove that they had the right to do so. So, they know everything about their right, but nothing about wisely using it.





The gun-wielders became known to their activist brethren as the “Dickson Dozen” after someone in the restaurant complained to police that they openly were carrying their guns.

Police detained one of the armed diners and temporarily confiscated his weapon when he declined to answer their questions. So, the point was made. The Second Amendment provides the right to bear arms, and Pennsylvania has no law precluding citizens from openly brandishing the hardware. Moreover, the police were not quite sure about how to respond.

Yet having a right does not mean that it’s always smart to exercise it. Americans have broad free-speech rights, but it’s often smarter to hold one’s tongue for the sake of civil society — broadly, the accommodation of others. The gun-toters don’t seem to understand that not brandishing their weapons in public would not diminish their right while also not intimidating other diners.

Gun advocates insist, of course, that their open possession of handguns deters crime. One can only imagine the scene, however, if some incident occurs and the same police, who are now excoriated by the activists, arrive to find a dozen people with weapons drawn.

While the right cited by the activists is indeed rooted in the Constitution, the “wisdom” in exercising it at the buffet restaurant is a false premise rooted in bad judgment.
