Well, that would certainly come under the definition of "new developments". Not to mention "fresh meat".
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Quote:I think you'll find as much evidence for the existence of god as you will the evidence for people gunned down for asking the time.


A sad attempt at avoiding the issue which remains if you have a gun on you had best be prepared to use it because...in the unlikely event you run into an actual "criminal" he will have pre-selected you as a potential victim and will have his own gun out.

Of course, if what you really want to do is wave your gun around in public so you feel like a hero that is generally considered "Menacing" under state law and has serious repercussions.

Quote:Menacing is a crime governed by state laws, which vary by state, but typically involves displaying a weapon or a course of conduct that intentionally places another person in reasonable fear of physical injury or death.
