So last night I met up with some friends for some ice cold elixer’s to whet the whistle with, and the subject of self defense came up.  One friend stated she would never purchase a gun for self defense, cause that can be used against her.  So she carries pepper spray, and mentioned the possiblity of getting a stun gun.

Now they are forced to sell their access to the White House, Congress, and their reporters instead of ads.  How much for a pro-gun op-ed prominently placed in the Post?  Can we buy some positive coverage of the shooting sports in the sports section?  A great puff piece on Women on Target?  Can NRA get a non-profit discount?  Inquiring minds wa...

A city councilman who headed an effort to get pit bulls banned because they are so dangerous is now trying to keep his dog from being euthanized after it bit someone. It’s a Labrador.
