Last week, in an interview with Public Eye, Vision Vancouver nomination candidate Thomas Lockhart complained, "I just did an article with Sandra Thomas from The Vancouver Courier and during the hour-long conversation I never once mentioned guns or firearms. And yet she peppered the entire thing with references to guns and firearms." But that's not how Ms. Thomas remembers their conversation.

In an email to 24 hours, the reporter writes, "Lockhart made several references to guns and asked that if I were to mention his hobby, that I refer to his guns as 'firearms.' I also did not 'pepper' the article with references to guns and mentioned his hobby just once in a sentence that reads, 'Lockhart and Gregson also share a love of Harley Davidson motorcycles and both are big firearm enthusiasts.'"
