I have never owned a gun. Perhaps one should get a vegetarian type of weapon and use it for protection or to catch burglars?

[Gregory Matthews]

I have a son who has fired a bean bag gun. It is effective.

Much more humane than firing a lethal round.

HEY!!! I was there!!

For you who are my Facebook friends you already know about this because I reported it there as it was happening. Hubby and I left the scene when we heard shots. I didn't know they were shooting beanbags. I found out later when I saw the news report.

But yes, when you think of it you'd almost expect the shooters to be wearing clowny suits. But they weren't.

I saw that on your FB Gail and was wondering if it was the same incident.

Banks in Canada are open on Sundays??

[Stan]

A number of them are. Something new over the past 5-6 years.

TD Banks are open on Sundays here JeannieB, and I think the one that got robbed was a TD Canada, which is a TD Bank.
