An interesting letter in the Australian Shooter Magazine this past year, which I quote: "If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the past 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.

The firearm death rate in Washington DC is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same period. That means you are about 33 percent more likely to be shot and killed in the US capital, which has the strictest gun control laws in the US , than you are in Iraq.

 Conclusion: "The US should pull out of Washington DC ."

Well, if the Democrats pulled out of Washington, D.C., it would be a net plus for all of us.

MIAMI, Oct. 8 (UPI) -- Three burglars took a break from a $100,000 high-end perfume heist so they could buy tools to get into a locked warehouse in Miami, police said Thursday.  Investigators released video from security cameras that caught the Sept. 27 break-in and still pictures from the store where the men bought more tools after discovering they did not have the equipment they needed, The Miami Herald reported. Once they got in, the trio loaded a white Econoline van with Chanel perfumes.

You see, it's important to join the Boy Scouts.  Then you'll be taught always to be prepared.
