Show GATS Pistol toting is the curse ol Amen- j ca, says Chief Magistrate McAdoo of NfiV York City "There are more persons per-sons who carry pistols In New York and Chicago thau in the whole of' Europe." McAdoo declares that the police's j greatest! problem is the free sale and use of firearms. Then why not stop the sale, make it a penitentiary oTfense to poa?o?s or carry a revolver-1 If tho penalty , were stiff enough, and enforced, i' would counteract the householder? disadvantage in not having a pistol for protection. Then, too, the home could keep a rifle or shotgun, veaponp whir-h crooks cannot carry concealed ! oo |
