I think I'll return to a better use of my time, like taking a walk and 'exercising' my freedom- without packing heat. When I get back, I might hang out on some food, wine or restaurant forum. Lord only knows when I might find a local place that beats good old home cooking.

We're not going to resolve this gun debate here. We'll just have to agree to disagree in a polite and civil way.

Everybody enjoy your weekend!
