Reason Writers Around the Country: Radley Balko Jaws on the Nanny State

Over the weekend, I had the privilege of speaking at the Denver-based Independence Institute's annual "Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms" party. It was as fun as it sounds. The event consisted of panel discussions followed by drinks and top-notch cigars on Friday, and a trip to a local firing range on Saturday, where I discovered to my surprise that I'm a not-terrible shot.

As part of the festivities, I participated with a number of panelists—including Reason contributor David Harsanyi—in a discussion of the Nanny State on Denver's PBS television station. Video of that discussion below, broken into three parts.
