Opinion
Is This Really How You Get Your Gun?
I had never handled a weapon before I went to obtain certification that would allow me to carry a concealed Glock on campus. Not to worry.“Given that the system allows me — lacking firearm experience — to get a license, would you be comfortable if we sat with each other in class, upon learning I’m secretly carrying a gun?”
Form a circular firing squad.

Alarmed by a rash of recent deaths and injuries in construction accidents, members of the New York City Council on Thursday urged swift action on legislation meant to punish rule-breaking builders."Others said that, for far too long, officials had ignored the plight of the construction workers who do not have union protections. Often they do not speak English, lack official documents and are especially vulnerable to exploitation, speakers said."
