fox family at shooting range
LAS VEGAS (KSNV News3LV) — A family of foxes has taken up residence in a portion of the Clark County Shooting Complex near Decatur and Grand Teton. Their presence has forced a part of the range to close down.The mother fox and her three kits were spotted at the rifle and pistol range.
"Wow poor planning on the fox's part," said Clark County Shooting Complex's Program Administrator Steve Carmichael. "The more I get thinking about it, we're not giving them near enough credit because they're probably safer in here than anywhere they could be," Carmichael added.

German gun culture
I never knew gun ownership was that high there. I always had Norway and Canada as being higher.

Agree or disagree, at least it is a cogent and rational explanation. At least more rational than the standard "shoot outs in the classroom" claims.

guns in churches, mosques, synagogues, Druid oak groves etc
If as liberals, we support the separation of Church and State when people like Pat Roberson opens his mouth. Doesn't it stand to that we should also oppose the State telling churches that they can't allow guns? It seems to me that Jefferson's wall is brick on both sides. While I see a reasonable argument for a compelling State interest in banning them from bars, or any other business where recreational drugs are consumed on the premises, I don't see it when it comes to churches.
