Both quotes come from the AP article which you can easily find in todays' January 10 www.citizen.com down under the most read articles.

So with regard to the recent comments about standing on principal and not accepting a plea bargain because it would be an admission of guilt, an individual when faced with the choice of a plea bargain or prison time really needs to make a practical decision, with all things considered including one's family and the cost of legal defense.

If indeed the plea bargain offered was not a felony and meant losing one's legal right to carry for a two year period then that is NO BIG DEAL. Losing a carry permit for two years is not a big deal! Why in the world do people think a gun is a needed everyday item, to lug around all day, is beyond me. I do not get it? Ward worked as a farmer in Meredith at the Long Ridge Farm on Route 3, close to Laconia, so what's he all so concerned about that he needs a .45 Sig..........anyway?

Has he ever replied to the question........'so why do you carry a gun?'

This is the first and only halfway intelligant comment you have made in this entire thread.

Oh Man. One of the few times I forget to use spellchecker before I submit, I get nailed.
Oh well. Live and learn.

As the spelling police are out in force.... it is principle, not principal that one stands on (unless you really want to get in trouble at school)

FLL didn’t make a spelling error, he made a grammar error. (I do it a lot)

Two of the most commonly confused words in the English language are principal and principle.

Has FLL ever made a correct use of its', its, or it's?

As I understand, it's is a conjunction for it is, and its' is an optional use of the apostrophe and it shows a possessive use for its', while its without the apostrophe is the other optional use that also denotes the possessive case.

Writing its' or its can both be used to denote the possessive case because the lack of an apostrophe is understood because it is commonly used without an apostrophe, however its' is more grammatically correct than its without an apostrophe for denoting possession.

Capice! .......... That's Italian for "Understand, do you get it!"
