Please note that the difference between:

"But he got the same sentence as he would have is he was not convicted of carrying a gun in furtherance of the crime."

is subtle at best.

Next time don't get caught stealing with a gun nearby.

Better yet, set up a system to encourage the public to USE those guns (and other weapons) to get rid of the people who pass such laws, and the problem is solved. Jim Bell jimbell@pacifier.com
