RENEW OLLIE'S GUN PERMIT

Regarding Ollie North's failure to obtain a renewal of his permit to carry a concealed weapon and in light of the condition of today's ``legal system,'' if I found myself in peril, I would much rather have Ollie North armed with a concealed weapon on my side than some judge armed with the law.
