Come Clean, Ben Affleck

Please.

I'm not one of those folks who follow the adventures of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez much at all. Not a big deal to me. I've enjoyed some of his films, and certainly find her easy on the eye—although I very much don't understand the jokes about her behind being supposedly overly large; seems to me that the woman's just plain gorgeous.

So why this article? Read this.

This has Affleck supposedly applying for a gun permit so that he can "do some hunting."

Nah. You don't need a gun permit in Georgia for long guns; you need a gun permit in George to carry a handgun.

It's not hard to see why Affleck might want to be able to carry a handgun to protect himself, and I don't blame him a bit. Granted, given his seven-figure paychecks, he could afford to hire a private security detail—and, for all I know, he does—but I can also understand why he, like many folks who can't afford that, would prefer to be able to protect himself, as well.

I just wish that he'd be upfront about it.

"Do some hunting," indeed.

*snort*
