No problem-- if anything bad happens, Door Dash drivers have a panic button app, and we all know about Uber safety protocols.

A measure that would have banned any gun magazines that hold more than 15 rounds died in committee on Tuesday night after more than 80 members of the public attended a hearing to oppose it... “(High-capacity magazines) do not need to be in the hands of everyone, and they do not need to be in the hands — as far as I’m concerned — of anyone that’s not in the call of duty, as identified in the bill,” she said.

We're the Only Ones Soliciting Enough

This just came with the morning mail:


Gary Wolske? The guy who opposes permitless carry by praising permitted carry but deliberately ignoring the inconvenient truth that FOP fought against that as well?

And your second-in-command, Jason Pappas said this about armed teachers?
“It’s our position that there should be law-enforcement officers in schools,” said Jason Pappas, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Capital City Lodge No. 9. “To have civilians with guns in schools who could be mistaken for an active shooter only causes confusion for law enforcement.”
Who does this guy think he is, Wayne LaPierre?

Let me respond to your money ask, Gary, by speaking in a language that you and your fellow oath-breakers will understand:

O-gay uck-fay ourselves-yay.
