So - you need weapon safety experts to help gun owners with safety procedures? Gee whiz - I'd think those responsible, law-abidin', peeps that we know all weapon owners are, would ALREADY know safety procedures.
Who'da thunk they were not knowledgeable...?

Tom. Where in the above does it state "to help gun owners with safety procedures"?
“who can answer readers' questions and offer advice”. I suppose I was just reading what was actually written vs. simply making up my own. Not sure how you read Readers=Gun Owners Not sure how you missed cleaning and storing. Could be questions about different cleaning agents, oils, etc... Regardless, I’m sure there are a decent amount of non gun owners who can read that may have a question or two in the broad category of firearms

I rest my case that there are nearly not enough comments on articles that we read in the Patch...IRead More asked for a comment, got no comment.

This is an important opportunity for all residents who want to have input on Civic Park and theRead More changes that they want to see now that Civic Hall is gone. The men and women of the city council and parks department who are making these decisions need to hear from us.

Thanks for the reminder Jim! Sounds like the perfect concert to kick off summer!

A Great "Love the Beatles" crowd last night at Civic Park...We all had fun...the City ofRead More O'Fallon does a great job in putting a nice, relaxing and family oriented concert for all of us. O'Fallon Jammin' is a great thing to do every tuesday all summer.

We all need to get out there to cheer the Rascals on to some long extended victories!

Agreed...love watching a good ballgame, even a bad one, on a warm summer evening!

She's on vacation at the moment. When she returns she'll still be here, but in a different role.Read More Instead of just working with O'Fallon, she'll be working with multiple Patch sites across St. Louis. While she's doing other things, Tammy Duncan and I will be posting often around here. Basically Jordan is still very much involved, but she just won't be writing as many stories.

Joe, any chance they have figured out how to port the past news stories over yet?
Joe Barker (Editor) June 3, 2013 at 09:58 am
@ Jim Pepper -- No word yet. Most of the stories came over just fine, but the stories from earlyRead More last week seem to be stuck. All I know is they are working on it.

Just a heads up... while browsing on my phone I have to click leave a comment link above instead ofRead More the box which is typical... just an fyi
