Going where the money is:

RALEIGH, N.C. — Blackwater Worldwide, best known for protecting American diplomats in Iraq, is opening up its firearm training ranges and safety workshops to a new class of customer: professional athletes.

Maybe they’ll do a course for opinion journalists. More:

Blackwater scheduled the first athlete-only course to coincide with the NFL’s offseason, which doesn’t sit well with the league. The NFL has made it clear it doesn’t want players to carry guns and has made presentation in the past describing the dangers of firearms.
“Our strong recommendation to players is that they should not own guns and our policy prohibits all NFL employees from possessing guns or other weapons on NFL facilities or while on NFL business,” said league spokesman Brian McCarthy on Thursday.

Really, what business is it of the NFL’s whether a player legally entitled to own or carry a gun for self-defense does so? What are they supposed to do? Hope Rosie O’Donnell is nearby?
