pipesgt; I would like my government spent 60% of our taxepayer money and stop the highway program with the taxepayer money, because it will represent the 80% of less gasoline consume and also stop the the transportation of goods from the fronters or TLC that allow mexican truck that trafic ilegal and drug. All transportation of goods shall be made by train and local truck .
I don't now from where you take the data of non profitable, the railroad is the must profitable transportation in the history of transport.

To be effective in cases of home invasion, a firearm needs to be loaded and at hand. One has only a few seconds to react. I don't have children, so unauthorized access is not an issue for me. However, I've thought about what I would do if I had children. The answer would be *always* to wear the holstered firearm. At night, the bedroom door is kept locked so children cannot enter. Going to the toilet, the firearm goes with one and the door is locked.

I have taken many courses in self-defense and have concluded that if one wants to realistically be prepared for the worst, this is what one must do. Otherwise, keeping locked up, unloaded firearms merely acts as a self-deluding pacifier.
