I'm glad I wasn't taking a stroll through Riverside Park yesterday afternoon.  Police were called when gunshots were heard and, sure enough, it was a drunk man with a loaded handgun on the north side of the park doing a bit of target practice in case some desperado comes tip toeing through the tulips.

And, I read there was a gunshot at a Minneapolis elementary school yesterday.  A gun in a students backpack accidently discharged.  Thankfully, no one was injured.

I'm beginning to think it must have been safer on the streets Dodge City, back in the days of Matt and Kitty, than it is, anywhere,  nowadays.
