Fellow community Members,
I wear a handgun to protect myself and others.
Yes, I’ve seen the anger, the rallying to a standard that draws from noble cries of liberty and rights.
About the mask thing. It is NOT a law to wear a mask, only a suggestion.

Somebody took my wife’s dog.
I’m writing to voice my support for Nate McMurray, who is running for US Congress in the June 23 Special Election for our district. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Nate and having several conversations with him. When I was speaking with him I really felt as though he was listening and conce…
