A real timesaver and you don't have to worry about someone running a stop sign. I've had that happen twice.

If it had been mentioned before, it might have changed the outcome of the election. He seems to be rather sneaky in his approach to dealing with city residents.

They were very young and were probably not mentally capable of making a rational decision on the danger involved.

Let's see what shakes out over this. I have a license to carry a pistol, but if I have even one drink, I can't legally carry it.

It also causes personality changes. I've seen it firsthand.

I remember it very well. I did a Google search, but couldn't find it.

He returned fire with a 45 auto and shot the kid shooting the paintball gun.

They almost got the helmet law repealed, as a few states have. Keep in mind that 75% of adults don't smoke and won't vote to repeal it. I don't smoke, but I feel that this new law infringes on the right of the business owner to set their own policy.
