Wait till it's up on Amazon then. That's more important anyway, to get the hard verifiable numbers up over there.

Early morning, in an employees-only area of the casino, popping rounds into the walk-in...why, whatever gave you the idea that alcohol might be involved?

stumbled around.

[Freedom4US]

No! Tell me that didn't really happen...

$12,000 dollars for two small holes in the side of a cooler is a lot of money, He must have hit the refrigeration unit. I think they used the fact he was a cop to rip him off. Pretty dumb thing to do though.

The really sad part is that the law considers these people qualified to carry weapons, but think the rest of us aren't bright enough!

More than likely it was one of two things. Hush money to the casino to make the incident go away or payment for his bar tab.

Best remedy for a woodpecker is a pellet rifle. Silent but deadly. We had one start working our house over several years back. I had menioned it to a fellow Ky National Guard member. He had almost gone to jail over one. He went to the local game warden who told him he could not shoot it as it was protected. Then when the stopped pecking holes in his house he was a prime suspect in killing an endangered bird.

" Hanson you idiot, your orders were 'go to the casino and kill the Mobster' !"

Waaaaaaaay too many armed government agents of all types. 400,000 local cops plus FLEOs. Cut that number in half and train and manange the rest MUCH more closely.

Furtive move to the waistband. Yeah. I saw it.

My pecker was inside the house!

Hanson was charged only with a misdemeanor because of the late-night time of the incident, and the fact that the freezer was in a back area with no one inside, District Attorney David Roger said.

And if there had been someone shot, there would have been no charges filed at all.

. . . Hanson . . . was caught on surveillance cameras firing his .45-caliber handgun into the walk-in cooler. No one was inside at the time, although there was a lobster.

Now that's comedy gold.

[Double Tap]

Just curious, but what does the picture you posted have to do with this thread?

[ChefKeith]

Can You belive this BS!!!

[ChefKeith]

Did anybody call PETA?

So much for the current big Las Vegas advertising campaign, "What you do here, stays here!".
