One of the first things we rescued from my parents house were the firearms, to keep them out of the hands of criminals and the NOPD (sorry, I repeat myself....).

About a month ago, we found an old shotgun in a closet. I walked out with it to the street, and leaned it up against the truck (street side) while I opened the back doors. A firearm, in plain site on a major avenue in the City. It attracted the attention of several drivers who passed by. Hovever, the NOPD cruiser that passed by never even slowed down. The Officer was busy talking on a cell phone and eating a burger!

(Note: as a former LA Guardsman, I have not heard any reports of the National Guard enforcing that Police Chief's silly order.)

Merry Christmas,
