The big chill for Apple Chill

Is it just me or does Chapel Hill seem to be getting less idyllic by the minute?

First, the town cancels its annual Apple Chill street fair after three people are shot Sunday.

Two days later an armed 17-year-old at East Chapel Hill High takes two hostages and holds them at gunpoint for an hour.

The student reportedly fires his weapon once, though no one is injured.

More weeks like this and James Taylor may consider going somewhere else in his mind.

When people with guns shoot innocent people and threaten others, it makes me wish those people didn't have guns.

Sue, I agree that it would be better if these folks (i.e. criminals) didn't have guns. But unfortunately, they'll find a way to get them - legal or not.

That's why it's so important for law-abiding citizens to have access to guns.

Then we could have a shootout on Franklin Street?
