I actually unloaded all the firearms in the house and hid the ammo - I didn't trust him, at all at all.

by becoming less liberal. you have put your finger on it, precisely, Voice. LESS liberal. those that would sacrifice CA on the altar by voting for McClintock, harbor some serious delusions if they think that a state like CA could go from the leftwing cesspool that it is, to a bastion of conservatism. it is unrealistic and foolhardy, IMO. LESS LIBERAL is a good thing.

Either bury it or have a hell of a bonfire as a funeral pyre.

I'm glad you are both out of that misery and not doing time for justifiable actions.

I did the same thing with all the guns but that one pistol of mine, which I kept loaded and well hidden in a cubbyhole only I knew about. The man was about as trustworthy as ted kennedy, and just as treacherous.

Less Liberal is, by definition More Conservative.
That is what the McKlinton KoolAid Krew refuses to grasp.

As much as I'd like to stay and discuss various ways to dispose of a body, I must go teach some math now that my son has finished up spelling/vocab words.........
Y'all have a good one and ping me if anyone gets sloppy drunk and starts dancing on the table (you know I mean camle or dubs........ )........
To: dubyaismypresident
You had post 69......;^)
To: xsmommy; 1smallVoice
Right you are! Incrementally is the only way to get conservatism back into California. Much of the state has made a hard left turn since Ronald Regan, and that trend will take time and patience to reverse.

Homework:
As a lawyer, and one highly skilled in oral presentations, xsmommy knows munch more math than she lets on.
For example, she is able to name all 69 cuntiguous angles possible between two adjacent bodies engaged in oral exercises....
And she can also tell you which states most of them are illegal in. Or out. And in. Or out.
He said, tongue firmly in cheek(s)....

When making my previous marital choice, the words "young" and "inexperienced" both apply. I was not all that aware that many men are unfaithful, mean and sneaky by nature.
