Maybe it is time for us to petition for the County Attorney to be impeached? Wonder how he would like to be charged with attempted murder or aggravated battery for protecting his life and home?

I hope a couple dumb bike cops read this and take the advice on using lights and reflectors. I almost ran over 2 of them as I was driving down State Street and they crossed right in front of me on 4th Street after dark last summer. I do not even know if they stopped for the stop sign because I did not even see them until they were directly in front of me and I had to slam on my brakes to keep from running them over!

It does not surprise me that the County Attorney is charging the wrong person in this case. Local Law Enforcement has a very negative view of law abiding citizens with firearms. I live in the country and was having trouble last spring with varmints such as raccoons, opossums, skunks, and badgers making a mess of the feed and digging holes in the yard. Whenever I would see one, I would go to the house, load the gun and go back out to gid rid of the varmint, but then would not be able to find it. I decided to start open carrying a pistol for the job, but wanted to make sure I would not break any laws. The State Attorney General's office told me there were not any laws regulating open carry at the state level, but I should check at the local level. They acted clueless in the County attorney's office and sent me to the County Clerk's office explaining that "it was the clerk's job to keep track of all the statutes and codes." The clerk sent me to the Sheriff's office where a deputy told me "anyone who thinks they need a gun is just stupid." I forgot to get his name. Wish I had though. I also checked with the Police department in case I was working on something and had to run to town for parts and forgot to take my gun off before going to town. I was assured by Officer Ross that the public is so scared of guns that their office would be swamped with calls and they would come looking for me with their guns drawn and ready to shoot me even if the gun was still in my holster! I walked out of there certain that I had a greater chance of being shot by a stupid gun-ho cop than by an otherwise common criminal!

Hey guys, lets at least get it right. Mr. Swafford is not out of the woods yet. This is what KVOE is reporting:
"An Emporia man accused of attempted second-degree murder has had the charge dropped moments before jury selection was to begin Monday.
However, Dwight Swafford is not out of the legal woods by any means. Lyon County Attorney Marc Goodman plans to file battery charges against Swafford within the next three months.
Goodman’s announcement effectively restarts the trial process from scratch, meaning a preliminary hearing and other pretrial hearings must be scheduled before trial would take place.
Swafford is accused of shooting his girlfriend’s son, William Calvert, at Swafford's home July 10.
According to court documents, Calvert had arrived at the residence shortly before the shooting and tried to force entry. A domestic dispute ensued with Calvert and Swafford wrestling into a bedroom before Swafford shot Calvert.
Information from KVOE News Director Jeff O’Dell was used in this report."

My mom has really gotten irritated with Price Chopper since they got bought out because she cannot find the food in town that she used to buy regularly. Too bad the new owners did not keep getting that stuff in. I think she is shopping there less all the time. Hopefully they will see this.

I have to agree with romano. I think we should be required to show photo I.D to vote, but then that would not be of much use if our dumb governor and Obama get their way and start giving drivers licenses to illegal Aliens! Also, what is wrong with someone taking an inhaler into the courthouse? I think that sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen the first time someone has an asthma attack in the courthouse. I am not sure what one could do with a pocket tape measure...I do not think the point is that Ms. Houser had to have it with her...just the silliness of having to hand it over.

A 6% grade going up to the tracks is all that is allowed by the Statutes? The grades at those crossings are more like 30-45% and it is easy to spin out on the loose gravel if you are pulling anything. The county needs to measure the grade on both sides of the tracks at these crossings and send the results along with a copy of the Statutes to BNSF!

I am considered to be in the high risk category, but I do not get the flu shot because everytime I did, I would get sick about 3 days later and it would take me all winter to get over it. I get along fine without it.
