Sound Off: Where are public tornado shelters located in Lawrence?
Maybe State funding to the new Public Library should be increased to incorporate the building of a tornado shelter space into it (if it is not already planned).

Kansas agency urging removal of dead pine trees
for pace
"....Dead pine wood can be chipped and buried...."
Chipping will make it easier to bury and it will decompose quicker and could be used for compost 2 or 3 years from now.

Trial ordered for rural Valley Falls man accused of shooting neighboring landowner
Did not mean my previous post to become so long winded but let me restate my question.
Does anyone know of a site for statistics on crimes prevented or crimes committed or accidents involving CC permit holders. Or a site to find out if someone charged with a crime is a CC permit holder?

Trial ordered for rural Valley Falls man accused of shooting neighboring landowner
Reg. superswagg56
1st) It does not matter where this particular shooting happened (farm/country or house/city). I am curious if it is possible to find out if a person, crime or no crime, is a CC permit holder?
2nd) Because this shooting was carried out with a handgun (and not a rifle) it does make a difference if this individual was licensed to carry concealed and lost his head and drew the weapon or if he was not licensed and had the gun in his home.
3rd) If it is not possible to find out if a CC permit holder uses a handgun to commit a crime or if a CC permit holder caused a accidental shooting, then no one can claim that CC is a good thing because you are only hearing about the instances where CC worked and not the tragedy's that it caused.
And to set the record straight. I am not anti gun. I hunt and I sometimes shoot .22 for fun (cant afford anything bigger to play with), but I am not a fan of CC.
CC permit does not mandate enough training (initial and continued) to assure the holder is qualified to determine when to pull and when not to.
CC permit does not require high enough standards with proficiency and accuracy ( I have 2 family members who are CC permit holders and one has demonstrated to us on a number of occasions that he can not hit a 4' X 7' stationary target at 25 to 30 yards).
CC permit will never be able to reasonable assure that the permit holder will not go nuts or just have a really bad day and have easy/immediate access (with out a possible cooling off period) to a weapon. How often after a murder do you hear "I would have never thought that of him/her. Nicest/quietest neighbor I ever had.
Did not mean for this to turn into a rant. I better walk away from the keyboard before I lose myself. Good thing Key boards don't shoot

Town Talk: UPDATE: Planners split on North Mass plan; Chinese restaurant opens at 23rd and Iowa; rental registration fee topic of city audit; weekly land sales, including activity at Bella Sera condos
Love Chinese food and I certainly am not racist or anti immigration, but come on Chad, reads like you had a non-native english speaker write that sentence for you.... "He also plan pork belly sliders .... ". Or were you just trying to make fun of a non-native speaker.
Just kidding but here is a link good for a few chuckles.
