...neighbor he'd like to run out of town. Gadzooks, Inc., a Texas-based company, has been selling T shirts of the preternaturally placid TV host packing heat and daring neighbors to enter his "hood." As Fred Rogers is loath to suggest that he has ever strapped on a holster beneath his well-worn cardigan, his company, Family Communications, Inc., is suing Gadzooks, alleging that the T shirts violate Rogers' privacy and wrongly benefit from his image. Plus, says his lawyer, "it's bad for the kids." A spokesperson for Gadzooks says the offending apparel has already been cleared from...

Owning a hunting rifle, securely storing it in separate pieces well away from children and using it only to shoot a yearly quota of deer is quite different from carrying a loaded 9-mm pistol in a shoulder holster for the drive to work.

Police who later searched Cunanan's San Diego apartment found a trove of S&M gear: clamps, harnesses and videos featuring sex with animals...
...goal of every great man's son: to find his own place in the world. Billy Graham was the world's best preacher, but he had never piloted a six-seater in search of savable souls nor had an evangelically sound reason for carrying a .38 in an ankle holster. If this had been Franklin Graham's only and final job, he could have happily left it at that. But it was not his only and final...
Nobody was sure the touch of hands would happen. No formal request had been sent through diplomatic channels. Arafat wanted desperately to come; Rabin didn't. Arafat wanted to show up on the lawn with his holster holding his faithful Smith & Wesson and, with a great flourish, to unstrap the gun and hand it to Clinton. That was vetoed: too much theater even on that day. One hour before the ceremony, the Israelis and the Palestinians both threatened to boycott over trifles: then Rabin swallowed his objections to Arafat's uniform and agreed the P.L.O. could be named...
