From Las Vegas Live in a good neighborhood in sw Las Vegas. Heard nothing last night that was clearly gunfire but it was the first New Years Eve of several that I did not. Police made public announcements before New Year's pointing out that what goes up comes down and asking public to report if...

Do journalists carry?

Liberal???

A real barber shop Gary & Daryl's Plaza Barber Shop in Las Vegas, Nevada, is a real shop with hunting magazines, hunting talk (also baseball, trapshooting, cars, and other manly topics.) There's usually a woman barber on one of the three chairs but you'd like her. This is also a place you can...

What the media is trying to do

We've been had The NRA actually asked us to urge passage of this? To protect big gun manufacturers, we give up all militarily useful ammunition. Not just handgun ammo.

Judith Miller left wing? This sounds like you think Judith Miller is left-wing. The controversy is over the widespread belief she carried the water of the RIGHT wing rather than writing objectively. Personally, I think she may have been a not-as-good-as-some-hoped reporter, but I don't think...

Using time well Had time to leave, too, but time management apparently wasn't one of his skills.

They don't have to? They don't have to? Everybody else has to. You can't run a Jeep tour of as few as a dozen Jeeps on public land without a permit. You can't run a trail ride with as few as 20 horses without one; I tried not long ago. It seems to me that you can't hold any kind of organized...

Most obscure Tossup between U.S. Revolver Co. hammerless top-break .38 S&W, and a .32 ACP Ortgies. I would not admit to the latter if using my real name. Most .32 autos have the virtue of reliabillity (not in results of shooting, but in going off when the trigger is pulled). In the experience I...

Boy Scouts vs. wilderness survival class I've been a scout leader and I've taken wilderness survival classes. I think Scouts if operated as headquarters intends, even with the nauseating dosage of political correctness, are still the best leadership program this country has ever seen. But...

What are we debating? If somebody wants this to be neither a debate about the way the Bible would have us do it, nor one about the tactics used, somebody tell me what the subject IS. I was in a similar situation once. In my case, the intruder was trying to unlock a gate to enter my fenced...

Ask the judge what he meant? As a journalism school graduate and still a professional reporter, I have seen very few judges who will explain in an interview later what they said on the bench. In fact I THINK the canons of ethics forbid it, right or wrong as that may be.
