    Many gun owners would agree with this, well maybe not a security guard with his GED making minimum wage, but hiring more police. There are actually a lot of hospitals who have police as their...

    So you would ban a certain kind of clothing? I personally do not think those sill poofy UGG boots are necessary but I wouldn't ban a style of clothing. What is "tactical gear" anyways and how do you...
