  1. In most American states, including many with large urban population centers, responsible adults have easy access to ordinary firearms, and they are permitted to carry them in public. Experience has shown that these policies do not lead to increased levels of violence. Criminals pay no more attention to gun control regulations than they do to laws against murder, rape, and robbery. Armed citizens, however, prevent countless crimes and have saved many lives. What’s more, the most vulnerable people—including women, the elderly, and those who live in high crime neighborhoods—are among the greatest beneficiaries of the Second Amendment. If the courts require the remaining jurisdictions to stop infringing on the constitutional right to keep and bear arms, their citizens will be more free and probably safer as well.

  6. At the several gun training courses we've been through the teachers have all been LEO's, they call it "being prepared and hope the need never arises".
  7. Nah, I think he's simply afraid of firearms, that's okay it's his thing I guess. He's entitled to his opinion..
  8. For some reason he's terrified of firearms..I honestly don't know any men who don't own at least 1 firearm, and I can only think of 3 females I know who don't have at least one..most have concealed carry permits as my wife and I do.
  9. Previous owners of a Cabin close to me used to throw old diapers in their firepit, skunks for some reason love stinky diapers, at the time I had a Golden Retriever, at least once a week she would get sprayed when she chased the Skunks away from the firepit.
  10. To all of you planning on putting Christmas lights up, could you please avoid anything red, blue, and flashing?? Every time I drive past I think it's the cops and I have a mild panic attack. I have to remove my foot from the accelerator, slam my foot on the brake, put my seat belt on, throw my phone on the floor, hide my beer, swallow my joint, and shove my gun under my seat. It's a major drama and I really appreciate your cooperation and understanding. The holidays are already stressful enough .

  15. A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary. Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even more rude. John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute. Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer.. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior." John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird spoke-up, very softly, "May I ask what the turkey did?"

  21. Ban Doctors & Hospitals: Medical Errors Are The Third Leading Cause Of Death — How You Can Avoid Them By Cary A. Presant, M.D. It is astonishing that medical errors are the third leading cause of death in America. The most recent data indicates that 251,000 deaths are due to medical errors, a frightening number. Every person should be concerned about this. In 1999, the Institute of Medicine published that 98,000 deaths occurred annually due to medical errors. Recently, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medical Center updated those 1999 figures. They reviewed 4 studies of patients from throughout America between 2000 and 2008, representing over 37 million admissions to hospitals. Medical errors included mistake in medication administration (too much, too little, or given to the wrong patient), incorrect medical plan (patients got the wrong plan for their illness), failure in executing an order, physicians’ omitting something that should have been done or ordered doing something incorrect, and medical actions that did not produce the intended benefit for the patients. Fatal errors occurred in 0.71% of these hospital admissions. This percent seems small, but it means that among all hospital admissions in America, 251,000 patients would die annually. And to put this in perspective, 614,000 patients die from heart disease and 591,000 from cancer, making medical errors the third leading cause of death. More people die from medical errors than from lung diseases (147,000 deaths), from stroke (133,000 deaths) or from accidents (136,000 deaths) or Gun related (30,000 deaths). In another study at Massachusetts General Hospital, one of the nation’s best medical centers, 45% of all surgeries from 2013 to 2014 had drug errors or unintended drug side effects. These included incorrect labeling or dose, or medications ordered but not give. Astonishingly, there was a medication error in 1 of every 20 medications, and about 1 of every 2 surgical operations. To make these estimates even more frightening, the studies did not include patients receiving outpatient care in their doctors’ offices. Even additional errors, a few of them fatal, probably occur in non-hospital settings.
