�Fool me once that I am not some grandstanding politician and my grandson was indicted on a gun charge, shame on you. Fool me twice that my great-grandson was recently arrested for a gun charge and shame on me.�

The old saying saying needed some tinkering in a futile attempt to describe and accurately portray just what is happening in the super-grade reality television plot twists of an extended political family ruling over Cleveland. This is an issue so radioactive that even the King himself, LeBron James, would not touch with a ten foot basket in regards to lingering lack of racial inclinations.

A Florida driver for the ride-hailing giant Uber is suing the company for the right to carry his gun while on the job. Jose Mejia, who has a Florida concealed-carry license, drives for Uber in the Miami area. In a class action suit filed earlier this month, Mejia claims that Uber�s no-guns policy violates his rights under a 2008 state law that grants concealed carriers the right to possess a gun in their vehicle. The lawsuit quotes extensively from the statute, which says that Floridians have the right to keep and bear arms �within their motor vehicles for self-defense and other lawful purposes� and that these rights �are not abrogated by virtue of a citizen becoming a customer, employee, or invitee of a business entity.�

A push to allow Hoosiers to carry handguns without a license was the focus of a nearly five-hour committee hearing at the statehouse Tuesday. "Constitutional carry" is based on the idea that the Second Amendment already gives people the right to carry a handgun, so additional steps such as licensing are unnecessary. State representative Jim Lucas (R-District 69) authored a bill during the last legislative session to repeal the law that requires Hoosiers to have a gun permit. The bill was sent to committee for further discussion.
