    I have never worked with a more helpless group of people.

    Who calls security to report a toilet in the men's room needs to be flushed.

    Granted it's disgusting but is it somethig that security needs to handle?

    What kind of guns can be used at indoor ranges? I've never been to one. I know handguns are ok, what about shotguns? Any handgun good to go, or are the 500 and 50 ae to much?

    Just curious.
