"This man carries a loaded gun around your children every day..."

...reads the lawnsign Kimberly Edson placed in her yard to inform her neighbors that an area man legally carries a concealed handgun. The sign contains a picture of Matthew Halleck, who Edson says walks by her house everyday when taking his daughters to school. Edson explained:

Since we don't have a way to stop him, we felt it was important to notify the neighborhood and the parents that there is an armed man in their presence...The first couple days of school he had it very visible, we saw it and were quite concerned.

 

I have a responsibility to help create the kind of community I want to see, and I don't want to see a community where there are guns around schools...

 

He has a Second Amendment right to carry the gun, I have my 1st Amendment right to say that I don't like it...

Halleck is considering suing Edson for libel.
