Follow Up On Pistol Packing Randy Kuhl

Congress John R. (Randy) Kuhl (R-NY) a while back “thought about packing” a gun because of local anti-war demonstrators. Yesterday, because of the alleged threats, Kuhl has decided to lock the doors of his local offices, so if you would like to talk to Kuhl or a staffer, now you can’t just drop by. You have to make an appointment.

Was there a threat made? Or is Kuhl just trying to take the initiative somehow, and strike back at the protesters?

Had there been an actual threat, there would be a police report. In addition, had there been an actual threat, Kuhl would have spoken to the media to decry those crazy protesters. It’s the Republican way. But there is no police report and Kuhl and his staff are not speaking to the media to detail the threats that have been made. There has been no threat.

Rottenchester makes a fine point over at Fighting 29th about Kuhl’s locking of the doors. “This is a classic case of ‘look what you made me do’.”
