    The insanity continues

    I was at a small gun show in Enid today and saw something I never thought I would see. A 500 count box of .22lr marked at $80. I understand that due to current market conditions prices have gone up, but I can still buy new 550 count boxes 3 at a time at our local walmart for $20.00 a box. Sure...

    Not able to post the link (not sure how) but just read where a Massachusetts judge ordered a sex change for a convicted murderer. Citing the 8th. amendment, the judge ruled that the procedure was within the inmates rights as the only remaining way to deal with its gender identity issue. And the...

    To carry or not to carry

    Ok need some opinions from those who either have been in this situation or have knowledge of the legal ramifications. The sheriff I currently work for is narrow minded and refuses to discuss providing me with a department issue tactical(sniper) rifle. I have my own but am concerned with the...
