Do you like guns? I mean really like guns?
Then throw your newspaper or computer to the floor, return your .357-caliber Sig Sauer pistol to its velvet-lined box -- or if you've got a concealed carry permit, bring it with you -- and rush over to the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport in Burlingame, which this weekend is hosting "Saving Freedom," the 2010 Gun Rights Policy Conference.
Have they left?
OK, good. Now that the wackiest gun nuts are out of the room, let's peruse the agenda for the conference, sponsored by the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms and the Second Amendment Foundation.
The 2010 conference is going to cover all the bases.
Are you worried about gender imbalance in the world of firearms?
Introduce yourself to Julianne Versnel, publisher of Women & Guns magazine, or check out "Diversity Among 'Pro-gunners,'" a panel discussion featuring Paxton Quigley, author of "Armed and Female."
Do you think it's a travesty that college students can't strap a Glock while taking their metaphysical poetry finals?
Is the solution to violent crime putting more semi-automatic handguns in the hands of twitchy suburbanites?
The president of Students for Concealed Carry on Campus and John Lott, author of "More Guns, Less Crime," will discuss those very topics.
And what about knives, the forgotten front in the battle for the right to bear arms?
Doug Ritter, founder of Knife Rights, will give you the latest on this glorious struggle.
