As a 70% A.O. vet I have found the VA in Oklahoma city great, when the choice program came out I signed up as a 120mile round trip was very trying on me. Unfortunately all it did was add another layer of paper work and trips to the main hospital, for scripts each time the doc issued one. The problem was doctor staff not knowing the VA s love of the right paper work. I will use choice later when they get the docs paper system better.
On a side note I have been in line at OKCVA when a clearly wounded recent GI had been given head of the line privilege by a bunch of us old farts there for our viagra, honor to the youth of today.

Sorry forgot to mention, my grandkids so far are not on drugs, if they were I would try every thing possible to help. If they got shot robbing, trying to escape or injure a policeman I would feel bad, break my heart, but tough love, they would have to suffer the consequences of their actions. I would not r**t, burn, shoot police or tear apart cities.

Good for you, My mom hasn't the aim to put the round in some one, a shot thru the apartment wall is a danger to others, it may or may not work in all cases but one shot from a 38 let alone a 357 should be a deterrent. I for one keep practicing and my weapon loaded, I also hope you practice and never have to use the it.

Again, if the sob had stayed seated and waited for the police he would not have been shot or shot at, if you run from or try to escape you take you life in your own hands, criminals know its a easy way to sue the home owner if you run and get shot in the back, look at all the court cases. It should be break in and get shot, first crime does the time or death, not first vicktem the criminal after he shoots some scum bag. By the way all these laws are written by people{libs} who probable have never been in bed or awaken in the middle of the night by a robber and have no idea of the adrenalen and fright going thru the body.

I to have a old person who wants a gun for safety or protection, living in a apartment . My solutions was to put blanks in the gun and not tell her about it the bang will scare who ever,and protect the other tenets. How this idea helps and protects your dad.
