Letter To The Editor: Response To Vernon N. Kerr

My tale is that of a large number of concert goers in a large metropolitan area of southern Nevada (Las Vegas). Numerous families had gathered for a night of festivities and fun at a country music festival. These people came from all walks of life, here Read More

Letter To The Editor: Guns Are Essential In A Civil, Safe Society
By VERNON N. KERRI understand that some of my Democrat friends cannot appreciate what self-defense means but I will tell the tale anyway.

The father was a locomotive fireman and this job required him to be out of town on the other end of a run for a day or two on a regular basis. He was concerned for the safety of his family and bought a .38 caliber pistol for his Read More
