I don't care for 9mms such as Ruger etc. Thanks in advance. Here is my first choiceHK USP 45 Second Choice

    Posted on Friday, August 16, 2002 at 07:55 PM by rhamilton at www.packing.org I was recently "invited" to initiate a study regarding the feasibility of establishing a national organization of state administrators of concealed weapon permit programs. Its purpose would to be to get all the "rule and law makers" together on the same sheet of music and determine acceptable standards for the issuance of CCW permits that everyone (each state) can live with. Obviously, the point is to establish reciprocity amongst all participating states. National reciprocity bills continue to fail, so this may be the next best thing. I...

    (West Haven-AP Apr. 25, 2002 7:30 AM)_ Teachers at West Haven High School are questioning why a student who brought a gun to school was only suspended, not expelled.

George Mack of the teachers' union says the teachers are concerned that any kid who was known to have a gun is coming back...
