I've never been to Falls Church, but it sounds like an "East Lansing" type area outside of the college. Commuters to the capitol.
Although it's hard to top the idiots who dominate EL's city council. Michigan has a preemption law where cities can't have stricter gun laws than the state.
EL's council passed an anti-gun law that violated state law. (Whoops, wasn't anti-gun but anti-weapons....knives too - to POSSIBLY get around the law)
When I called the council out on it being a waste of tax money because it was illegal - the Mayor said "We're in court all the time anyway!"
Glad I don't live there anymore. Especially since I was voting from my dad's house at the time(Insurance).
Hubby was telling me yesterday about something that went on in his class this week.
The instructor, an American citizen originally from Belfast, used an analogy about firing speed of a gun in relation to whatever it was they were doing. Of the 9 folks in the class one had absolutely no clue what the instructor was talking about.......he couldn't understand why anyone would even have a gun, let alone know anything about firing one. He didn't know anyone who even owned one.
According to hubby the guy was a cool guy, pushing 60 and considered himself an oddball in that he lives in south Chicago and is a right leaning conservative.
the whole story about his reaction to everyone else in the class understanding the gun analogy was hilarious. He was appalled about the fact hubby said we had guns in the house and listed what they all were. Hubby has a wicked sense of humor and his response to the question "but, what about your daughter?" was classic.............""She knows what end the bullets come out."
(disclaimer here for those seeking anything they can to find me a bad person - no weapon accessible to anyone but an adult is loaded and there is no ammunition accessible either)
