Answer to yesterday’s puzzle: He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions.
Louisa May Alcott

Members of the House Gaming Oversight Committee this week approved a measure to make further updates to the Small Games of Chance Act, reports state Rep. Jim Cox (R-129).

House Bill 290 would make it clear in state law that an entity operating solely in the public interest, such as a volunteer fire company, has the ability to retain 100 percent of its revenue from small games for its own charitable purposes.

The bill also would call for the addition of several new games, such as Chinese auctions and Night at the Races events, and would permit the Department of Revenue to approve new small games of chance through the regulatory process. The permissible games would be only those that have been operating for years in local communities.

House Bill 290 also would make annual reporting forms available in a paper format that can be filed by mail, instead of only online options.

The bill now heads to the full House for consideration.

Pennsylvania’s new attorney general Kathleen Kane announced, yesterday, that the state’s concealed carry reciprocity policy with Florida is over.

Why? Because psychos and gang-bangers were getting Florida permits so they could legally carry handguns to shoot up elementary schools?

No. It’s allegedly because some Pennsylvanians — especially in Philadelphia — were getting Florida permits because they were being denied Pennsylvania ones by local authorities in violation of the spirit of the law.

The real reason, though, is that Ms. Kane is just another clueless Democrat on the prowl for positive headlines in a friendly lapdog press.

Ask yourself: Do people who don’t want to be left alone go out of their way to follow the law?

And then ask yourself: Does it make sense for people who live or work in certain Philadelphia neighborhoods to carry a handgun for self defense?

Of course clueless Democrats don’t really ask themselves those kind of questions.

BTW, this could very well mean that Pennsylvanians will no longer be allowed to carry their weapons while on vacation in the Sunshine State.

Reciprocity, by definition, is a two-way street after all.

Ms. Kane is a strong possibility to be the Democrat’s nominee for governor. This is why it is very important for  Tom Corbett to either get his poll numbers up or step aside next year.

Answer to yesterday’s puzzle: The worst thing that can happen to a good cause is not to be skillfully attacked, but to be ineptly defended.
Frederic Bastiat

Activist Bob Guzzardi reports that Tom Corbett has set a record for bad poll numbers in the latest Franklin and Marshall survey with only 26  percent of registered voters thinking he is doing a good job.

Yes, that is a record for the F&M College Poll.

Especially damning is that only 41 percent of Republicans give him positive marks.

We are not really Corbett haters here, but if these numbers don’t turn around he must not be the Republican candidate in 2014.

Geared toward women but everyone should take a few minutes to read this.
It may save your life or a loved one’s life.

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do :

The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!

2. If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you and RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

Chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, so he will go for the wallet/purse.

 

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you, but everybody else will.

This has saved lives.

Ed, Note: Actually, the first thing to do is to look for the inside trunk release that newer vehicles have.
 

4. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.

Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc.

DON’T DO THIS!

The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity
for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go.

If someone is in the car with a gun to your head

DO NOT DRIVE OFF! Repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF!

Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car.

Your Air Bag will save you.

If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it.

As soon as the car crashes bail out and run.

It is better than having them find your body in a remote location.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:

(A) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side floor, and in the back seat.

( If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

(C) Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard or policeman to walk you back out.

IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY.
(And better paranoid than dead.)

 

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. This is especially true at NIGHT!

 

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!

The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; and even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ.

Ed. note: In other words, serpentine. How to do it:

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic:

STOP … It may get you raped, or killed.

Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women.

He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked ‘for help’ into his vehicle or with his vehicle which is when he abducted his next victim.

 

9. Another Safety Point:

Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird.. The police told her

‘Whatever you do, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR.’

The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over.

The policeman said, ‘We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.’

He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby’s cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someone dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it, but have had several calls by women saying that they hear baby’s cries outside their doors when they’re home alone at night.

 

10. Water scam!

If you wake up in the middle of the night to hear all your taps outside running or what you think is a burst pipe, DO NOT GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE! These people turn on all your outside taps full blast so that you will go out to investigate and then attack.
