Dear Editor,
I agree with the gist of Christopher White’s letter regarding carrying firearms in Sandpoint. I think that the city business owners should get together and make downtown Sandpoint firearm free and that we should only patronize establishments (especially bars) that post notices prohibiting firearms on the premises.
Just because Idaho legislators don’t have sense enough to pour piss out of a boot doesn’t mean we can’t bring at least some sanity to the Sandpoint area. Some business may be lost from Rambo wannabes, but the downtown experience will be greatly enhanced and in the long run encourage more business.
