Still, something seems to be missing...something important. [More]
A veteran Sunbury police officer allegedly shot and killed his wife early Saturday morning outside their Catawissa Avenue home before shooting himself in the head.

"The chilli grenade is a non-toxic weapon and when used would force a terrorist to come out of his hideout.So what's it designed to be deployed against: crowds or terrorists?

Give me the words to explain this. [More]OK--you're a reason-impaired moron ruled by ignorance and prejudice. If only we can make "the streets" even more "gun free," this 15 shootings in one night crap will have to stop! And who better to look to for making that happen than Snuffy and Tim-Tom?
I needed some help myself.Admission is the first step--assuming you mean it. Which, based on the rest of your weepy rant, you must not. So continue ripping out your hair Carol Marin. But you might want to wash your hands first, so you don't get blood in it.

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

[More]

A deputy accidentally shot another deputy during a gunfire training exercise Thursday... [More]What does "Flo" say in that Progressive Insurance commercial?

You get that, right? The editors of The Toledo Blade recommend fear-driven inaction against and compliance with evil. Because there are no 100% guarantees and something could go wrong. In the future.Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at some despicable excuses of human beings. Naturally, they're "Authorized Journalists."
So instead they endorse paralyzed, deer-in-the-headlights cowardice.
No wonder they're against guns. [More]

On Valley Forge’s grand parade, his 100 men, carefully selected from all 14 brigades, were waiting for him, along with the 14 brigade inspectors. Steuben ordered a dozen men to form a squad and began with a fundamental: how a soldier stood and carried himself. Here are the exact words from Steuben’s manual: “He is to stand straight and firm upon his legs, with his head turned to the right so far as to bring his left eye over the waistcoat buttons; the heels two inches apart; the toes turned out; the belly drawn in a little, but without constraint; the breast a little projected; the shoulders square to the front and kept back; and the hands hanging down the sides, close to the thighs.” [More]

The device had fallen out of a Newport Beach police officer’s Chevy Tahoe after he forgot to shut the back door, according to a police report.Why should the tax cows have to hoof the bill?

Now, Marcum and at least one other driver want the city of Newport Beach to pay to replace their tires. [More]

I was privileged to be invited by the leaders from the Highlands to accompany them on a weekend helicopter tour to one of their electorates the next morning. Early Saturday morning we boarded a Hevi Lift helicopter which one of them hired at Kagamuga airport with two armed policemen and two cartons of ice beer, flying off to our destination. [More]Armed cops and beer is OK? But the thought of your countrymen--even your relatives having guns--fills you with dread?
'If their names are published they may become targets for some people,' said Mr Cummings. He said they would be 'exposed' as having firearms at their properties. [More]So we don't approve the permits and remove the guns. It's not like we don't know where they are. Plus you'll know they're in good hands rather than the hands of thieves.
Just to let everyone know dad got his meds finally today. THANK YOU for all those who are concerned.Here was my earlier report. I have no further details to add. I do note the Forrest City Times-Herald proved useless.
