Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Concealed Weapons

(Fox News) - The sheriff of Larimer County, Colorado says he thinks university students and faculty should be permitted to carry concealed weapons.

Sheriff Jim Alderden writes an editorial on his office's Web site — and refers to this spring's massacre at Virginia Tech in which 32 people were killed by a single gunman.

He says — "One of the real tragedies of the situation at Virginia Tech is that misguided administrators created a gun-free zone."

Larimer told a local TV station — "When you create an area where law-abiding citizens can't defend themselves, it just creates a greater opportunity for those who are criminally-minded."
