************************************************************** 3. If you like being insulted, do we have a Virginia gun store for you! ************************************************************** A VCDL member brought to our attention a “No loaded guns” sign on the door of Absolute Outdoors in New Kent. EM Ed Levine sent them an email to confirm that policy. First, let me say that many gun stores have a “no loaded guns” policy.

That said, many stores have a better policy of saying that a person can have...

INDIANAPOLIS | Overturning a common law dating back to the English Magna Carta of 1215, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Hoosiers have no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes.

"We believe ... a right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence," David...

Come on guys!

BUCKINGHAM COUNTY, VA. -- He emerges from the woods, a vision in wool. His walking stick leads and his black boots follow. Underneath a tricorn hat, his white hair flows into a powder bag and rests on the shoulders of his frock coat. His waistcoat is navy, his britches yellow, his nose Roman, his bearing presidential. From their sagging camp chairs next to scuffed coolers -- somewhere off Route 610, down a dirt road that coils into the sticks, past the sign that reads "END STATE MAINTENANCE" -- his constituents watch him approach. Here, on a hot stretch of acreage...

In the land of the Pharoahs… May 23rd, 2009 . by Fred Remember building the pyramids? Either 20,000 or 100,000 - depending on which historian/archeologist you believe - sweating Egyptians, each hooked to a long rope, the other end of the rope attached to a giant, multi-ton block of stone, pulling with all their might, under a hot sun? Sounds like fun, huh? And only 2.5 million more multi-ton blocks to go! (That’s just for the largest of the three pyramids - the others are there, waiting, too!) People laboring for the state. Without pay. However willingly or unwillingly (we...

Because I am gonna seek to have you pull the plug - on your TV set. See? Didn’t know you could still flinch like...
