CARRY: Sheriff misfired
I find it interesting to note our current hired gun leadership in Kootenai County (Wolfy) opposes the concealed carry bill. Is it perhaps he does so because it coincides with upcoming elections to which he is a par…
ELECTION: In a word, vote
As we all know this is a presidential election year like no other, with the future of generations to come riding on the outcome, especially with the Supreme Court also at stake. I would just like to urge all regist…
