I might add that I own 5 firearms and will never part ways with them. But I have no need or desire to tote around guns.

Families pack courtroom for hearing in Ottawa murder case

I do not take the death penalty lightly. Normally I am against it. However, Flack knew right and wrong, and considering his past, I say put him to sleep and that's me being generous. Not only has he emotionally wrecked the lives of several families, he just cost them all about 60 thousand dollars in combined funeral expenses ruining them financially as well. I honestly think the financial burden of laying these victims to rest and payment of punitive damages should fall on the state of Kansas. The judgment, sentencing and early release of Flack in 2005 was a complete failure in every sense of the word. He should have done no less than a mandatory 20 to 30 years on his first go around. Its outright stupid, and moronic to negotiate plea deals with violent offenders, especially ones charged with shooting a human being multiple times. The whole deal is sad because it didn't have to happen and it shouldn't have happened. I don't know how the judge or district attorney for his case in 2005 can even get a decent nights sleep after all this. The whole thing just stinks to high heaven.

City estimates it may cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per year to keep concealed weapons out of city buildings

"Silly. You know you can't print out 3-D metal objects. But you could print out some 3-D security guards with 3-D weapons to guard the doors! Better yet...print out a 3-D city commission and city staff and city hall, too! Then create a secret place for the humans to meet and work and don't tell anybody. What's a minor violation of the Open Meetings Act to keep everyone safe? I cannot believe our founding fathers did not have the foresight to address this 3-D issue."

Actually, they have incorporated 3D cardboard cut outs of Police officers in highly populated parts of India to curb speeding and so far it has worked. But to add to your statement, if your going to do all that, you may as well do it like the kid on Home Alone with motorized 3D cardboard cut outs of city workers, then send all the real city employees home who do nothing anyway with a check and get the same results you have now. Course if we do that, who will do all the harassing of the working middle class people?

Search for missing toddler — presumed dead — ramping down after intense week

There are ways to make the guy talk. They may not be the most pleasant, but I would stop at nothing to find this baby girl even if it meant beating it out of this coward.

Woman killed after falling out of party bus

I heard this on Johnny Dare this morning. This lady just had a child about a month or so ago and was engaged to get married soon. It sucks because they were all trying to have a good time and doing it the safe way by hiring someone to drive. Have to wonder if the door was not faulty or not.

State officials working overtime to keep up with concealed-carry permits

You know, I love hunting and shooting but have no desire to pack a heater every where I go. I don't need to because I don't put myself in a position to need one. Having 55K+ concealed carry permit holders on the streets of Kansas does nothing more than make me more afraid of this sickening society we live in. Of all the people I have met that have a concealed carry permit, one, maybe two should even be allowed to touch a gun.

City of Lawrence begins using new automated trash truck

What about the guys who used to manually pick up the trash? Let me guess, you parked them on the curb and loaded them up with your fancy truck and hauled them away..

Lawrence ranked second-worst-performing small metro area, according to new national economic index

Lawrence is a nice town, I like it alright. I have been to a lot nicer places, but I have been to a lot worse too.
