When the Italian police unveiled their state-of-the-art Lamborghini patrol cars, they cannot have been short of volunteers itching to take the supercars in pursuit of speeding criminals...What they apparently were not prepared for was a distracted motorist who pulled out of a petrol station without looking. [More]Ah, the "O Solo Mios."
I am a member, and I've passed this on to other members. Perhaps they may feel compelled to conversate with you, or perhaps not. As it is, we are confronted by naysayers all the time, and usually don't waste time arguing points with the close-minded. We are about action, and respecting other's opinions by letting them have them. If you are against gun control, then lobby your legislators. [More]You respect my opinions by "letting" me "have them"?
Allegretti, 47, pleaded guilty in 2007 to attempted intimidation and agreed to resign as a police officer over allegations that he pulled over two women on the Northwest Side and asked them to expose their breasts to avoid traffic tickets. [More]So why wouldn't you trust him to be a field supervisor, out there enforcing parking lot rules, with semi-"Only One" authority...?
Common sense tells you a handgun is probably not even all that useful. Suppose an intruder sneaks past the doorman or jumps the security fence at night.

And I ask you to weigh in through a poll.
Thus today's sorry state of affairs. This is one hell of an historic account, and you won't find it anywhere else. Knowing it, how many American gun owners would be inclined to answer a similar call for help today? [More]
OK, looks like I'm going to live a little while longer. [More]Mike tells us what happened.
