CNN's Editorial Skillz

CNN has an article on the proposed bill to make concealed carry legal in national parks. This is a doubly good idea, to cement CCW policy into federal law before the anti-gun laws that are sure to be passed in 2009. But true to form, the CNN article has a glaring error, which I sent in to CNN as a correction:
First paragraph: "...in which a black .22-caliber Glock pistol sits snugly."

Glock does not make any .22 handguns, although third-party conversion kits are available. Glock does have a model G22 in .40, which is a favorite caliber of police officers.

It wouldn't make sense to carry a .22 for personal defense, since its stopping power is almost non-existent.
