It's "the nut behind the bolt" that make guns dangerous

by Jim Shepherd

7:00am Thursday, November 09, 2017

Despite attempts to link Sunday's mass shooting [in Texas] and the carnage in Las Vegas to a "gun problem" in the United States, I'm not buying. And not just because I happen to believe in two things that aren't particularly smiled on in today's "post-Christian" society: the Second Amendment and God. Guns, like rental trucks, are inanimate objects. As I was taught as a youth, "it's the nut behind...

Like many Americans, I've been following the national discussion about policing for many years. But I question whether this "discussion" benefits anyone. As with so many public issues, this one has become starkly political and binary. Either you think police are insensitive brutes violating rights at every opportunity or you think police are being unfairly blamed for the actions of a few bad...

Have you ever considered using your handgun as an impact weapon? Before you do, you may want to think about a few things. Take a look at this article .

7:00am Thursday, November 02, 2017

I can see the old Ohio farm with the eyes of my heart, anytime that I like.
