Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Another good reason to carry a gun.

Yeah but 2 were last night and at least one hasn't been counted yet. Might be a hot summer.

You can't believe everything you see in the media.

After all, aren't these things already illegal?

But I thought they banned guns in the wonderful wonderful city of Chicago? :uhoh:

D.C. is trying to give us competition, too. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/03/31/national/main6349061.shtml

I like the second to lastline:
Washington reported 143 homicides last year, the fewest in nearly 50 years.

I wonder what changed in the past year...
