Charles Barkley says packing heat gives him a 'sense of peace'

12/6/2012

For Charles Barkley, exercising his Second Amendment right to own a gun goes a long way toward make him feel safe, secure and overcome with a "sense of peace." The former NBA All-Star was discussing gun control in the wake of the shooting tragedy involving Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher. He said turning the issue into one about gun control instead of domestic violence was a mistake. "Where do we stop (the gun control) at?" he asked. "I feel a sense of peace when I have [my gun] with me, but it would take extreme circumstances for me to even touch it." Guess his intimidating size can only go so far. [Source]
