Kevin O’Brien When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have fangs We really don’t recommend edged weapons for dangerous game. The ancients had no options. Mindset, mindset, mindset, people. Here’s a case from Vancouver, Canuckistan. Lots of people in the wilder areas of the Great White North have rifles and shotguns, but this guy didn’t. He faced …
Why are cops jumpy on domestic calls? We’ll tell you why. It’s because things like this happen. Indianapolis’s Rod Bradway acted boldly and decisively — and received a fatal wound for his efforts. The guy who shot him was shot dead by Rod’s backup. The victim, who’d called for the cops’ help in the first …
