This is an important question. Back in the late 1970's I was living near Lorton, VA in southern Fairfax County, VA. In the back side of my neighborhood a man heard a child screaming and ran outside to see the child being attacked by several Dobermans. He grabbed a pistol and shot several of the dogs saving the child's life. The surviving dogs ran off. The Fairfax County police arrest him for shooting in a residential area and shooting domestic animals. I have no idea what happened to him after that. I left to work in Saudi for five years and didn't hear any more about his case.

I would like to think that guy got an award - I'm sure the parents of the child thought so. I would have kicked in for a fine and/or a defense lawyer.

That's because you aren't a knuckle-dragging Neanderthal cop in 1970's Fairfax County*. That was before VA was a Shall issue state. Even now, they routinely harass open carry and that has been legal since the Commonwealth of VA was incorporated.

* Not all FFX Co. cops were bad. Many were. not all are bad. Many are though. Unfortunately Northern VA is too close to the source of Socialistic infection: DC.

No Rusty, I've found bad cops everywhere I've gone in the US. I've found some good ones too! Unfortunately for the good ones, it is the bad ones who grab our attention.

Daily Horoscope for January 2

Virgo

It's okay to have high expectations, but try to keep in mind that no one can be all things to all people. As the Moon spends one last day in its current sign, it urges you to find a way to recognize others for their strengths, and forgive them their weaknesses. Virgoans' idiosyncrasies must look like strange quirks from the outside as well! Fate ties up the loose ends towards the end of the day.
