<< < (2/2)

RobertH:
yep ..... stats can be interpreted which ever way they want.  whatever proves their side or POV.

FarmerRick:
Yes, number manipulation by lawyers and for lawyers in hopes of using the tax dollars of the many for the betterment of the very few(if any).

As to "how do you find this stuff?"   Well, I can access very few websites at work as I wait for the phone to ring.  I read the complete Omaha City Council and Douglas County Board Meeting agendas as soon as they come out on thursdays and fridays.  I guess I like to be informed on what the politicians are trying to get away with while 99.9% of their constituents are not looking.  The funny part: I don't even live in Douglas County anymore.  How sad is that?   ::)

Rick - Perfect timing!  It's amazing what they'll do for a buck.  As I was sitting here reading this my youngest son called.  He's a sophomore at UNO and is getting his EMT certification through Creighton this semester on Tues and Thur nights in hopes of one day being a fireman.  While in class someone cut out the windows of his Jeep Wrangler and stole an Ipod and sunglasses.  I told him to call the police and file a report.  He called 9-1-1 and they transferred him to a recorded line where he was asked to leave his phone number and someone would contact him within 36 hours.

All of this just reminds me why I carry - if the Omaha Police Department response time to a burglary is to call me back within 36 hours I'm MUCH more comfortable with the 1400 feet per second response time of the .44 mag I have strapped to me.

One more year and the kid will be old enough to get his CCW and I'll sleep a lot better.  I hate to think of what might have happened if he come out to his car while some crazed meth-head was ransacking it.

I had my Jeep window cut out and had to deal with the same recording. Kiss your stuff good bye.

As for the statistics, I just hope that all of shootings stay in a certain part of the town.

Thanks for the info Rick!
