I guess if I’m going to criticize Reason Magazine, I should probably link to them when they say thinks that make sense and I can agree with. This article by Chris Sprow talks about how the NFL has been strongly discouraging players from keeping or bearing arms.
No doubt we’ve had problems with NBA players doing this illegally, or engaging in illegal activity while armed, which the NFL would be right to discourage, but I agree that it’s wrongheaded to impose a blanket policy on players, especially when they are attractive targets of violent crime.
