Home grown, imported, or second generation imported?

Wow, the word “random” is really getting a workout these days.

Three times in the source article page.

“According to court records, Briones underwent a mental evaluation before a state court judge ruled in January that he was competent to face a felony auto theft charge.”

Now I’m trying to remember if that was Hot Shots! or Hot Shots!: Part Deux.

“Police are baffled.” was the line....

Spent a night at a friends house in Vegas last year. We sat in the living room watching the local news. After awhile I asked them, does this go on every day ? Yes was the answer.

We do have concealed carry in my state. But you can’t legally carry everywhere (I don’t have a small frame weapon, per se). The smallest I have is 9mm and steel framed so it’s very heavy. But it shoots fairly-accurately for what it is, though you have to stick to certain ammo (most of what I have bought over the years is Federal).

I have pepper-spray for non-lethal. I hope I never need something more. Had a rechargeable taser but it went on the fritz for unknown reasons. Import that lasted about 1-1/2 years (I found some work some time ago - it was a disaster, of course, lol - impossible to teach morons anything).

I carry everywhere I can legally go armed. I try not to go to “NO GUN ZONES”. I do have a very small 32.
