Any chance for a TFL commemorative chapter for the Lawdog Files? Sure, it's short notice and a busy season and all, but Christmas is a time for miracles. :)

In the spirit of asking Rich to consider new forums, how about... an "incidents" forum dedicated to news articles about armed citizens preventing crime, and possibly armed criminal activity as well. Right now they end up in L&P and General depending on the phase of the moon. It'd be very low...
