Jerry Falwell, Jr’s concealed carry comments have been all over Facebook.  I remember when his father, near the end of his life, met with a group of gay Christian men to try to understand their point of view.  I believe Jerry was honestly trying to see things from another point of view.  I don’t think the later Jerry Falwell, Sr. would have approved of his son’s comments.
