I wonder if the common source of this acid used in many attacks is drain opener on the hardware section of stores? It is only powerful acid made to dissolve grease and hair clogs in household plumbing drainpipes and is sold in special plastic or glass bottles which are also wrapped in heavy clear plastic. They have warning labels aplenty on them about dangerous burns if it touches flesh.

He added that the Illinois Department of Human Services “is creatively utilizing their funding to find high-impact solutions to the current problems facing Chicago,

The Judge “45 Colt / 410 Bore Matte Stainless 2 in. “

Not the highest quality revolver in the world but the price point makes it an excellent choice as a “beater”. I’ve worked all day carrying it in the drizzling rain.

It’s what I open carry when working at my cabin site in remote Newton County Arkansas.

There are bear, hogs, dogs, coyotes, largish kitties and possible 2 legged vermin about. Rabies is not unknown.

The first two are bird shot in case the local doggies get too close, the 2nd two are 3/0 buck and the last is the heaviest 410 slug I could get.

I have shot 45LC through it but most of that is reserved as fodder for the Colt SAA.

Dick Wolf’s newest TV Drama: Chicago Peacekeeper. I guess Chicago needed to get back to normal after being nice while the street race was there.

Baltimore has some sort of government funded program called Safe Streets. They refuse to release who the Safe Streets leaders and members are, not their criminal backgrounds, parole status etc., nor how much they are paid nor how effective they are.
