Choosing a handgun for self defense is not as easy as it may seem. You must first realize there are many choices and you need to find the handgun that is right for you. Do you want something that looks nice or intimidating when not in use? Do you want something that you can practice with on the weekends without getting bruis...
Politics, News & Issues > Military Aircraft Role of the modern strategic bomber in national defense: 1 of 3

The impact modern strategic bombers have had on national defense is very impressive. A primary example of what strategic bombers were created for is the air campaign at the beginning of Operation Desert Storm. The United States launched over 100,000 airborne combat missions and dropped over 88,500 tons of bombs. The result w...
Politics, News & Issues > Political & Economic Theory Should lawmakers free us from market forces by controlling gas prices?: 8 of 22

The lawmakers should never free us from market forces. That is what makes our capitalist economy work. Besides, the government has had a pretty rough track record when it comes to controlling the energy market. For a couple of examples I submit to you the 1973 and 1979 Energy Crisis.

As a veteran of the war in Iraq I know for a fact most Iraqi citizens were always allowed to carry a weapon for personal protection after the initial invasion and they still do to t...
Law & Justice > Lawyers & Legal Advice Recommended procedures for being pulled over while intoxicated: 18 of 23

As a law enforcement officer I have a few pointers for what you should do if you are pulled over while intoxicated. First and foremost be cooperative with the officer that approaches you. Do not try to trick him with some lame antic like sucking on pennies or smoking menthol cigarettes. We have seen every trick in the book a...
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Does God know the future?: 15 of 16

This is the easiest question I have answered in a long time. Yes God knows the future. Unquestionably yes. God himself said, "I am the alpha and the omega, I am the beginning and the end." The truth of the matter is God is not constrained by time. God created time. To question if God knows the future is almost a blasphemy. A...
