First off, Michael Willis is an idiot. But if being an idiot were a crime nearly every single member of local government — elected and appointed — would be a serial offender.

Willis did a very dumb thing taking a gun to Endhaven elementary to confront a would-be drug dealer. Dumb considering our laws have absolutely no common sense. And a result, Willis stands charged with a felony. A felony charge, in Mecklenburg County — land of the no-harm, no-foul violent property crime. Unreal.

There is still time to unwind this travesty. Choose wisely.
