The Oakland outrage led this morning's CNN infotainment as chesty anchor girl Solecism O'Brien (BA, Harvard, 2000) interviewed the Oakland police chief.
"We understand the weapon was a 45 millimeter handgun," she said.
"Yes, the shooter was a dedicated wildcatter and handloader," the chief responded. (Okay, I made that part up.)

Sir, If you had a son it would undoubtedly take after the Old Man.

Prrivacy
I confess this photo is staged. The macho pickup/camper and the manly John Deere 318 were placed for a reason. Namely, I need the Chuck Norris points after having, and I swear this is true, made drapes. I really haven't had all that much trouble with tourist ladies hiding in the bushes with binoculars, hoping I'll change shirts or something in the wide open living room, but you never know.
In further defense, I created the curtains in a way that would never occur to a cute fellow in the lime green jumper and yellow ascot.
It is perfectly possible to create window-treatment elegance with a vintage flannel sheet printed with what someone (maybe the fellow mention supra) believed to be an authentic American Indian motif. It merely requires pinking (blush) shears, a Stanley 30-foot tape measure, a stapler, and a roll of Gorilla tape. The latter two items help fabricate the tunnel through which the curtain rod goes.
N.B. Above the window hangs a nicely scoped .30-06 in further testimony to my masculine status. It was cropped out, however, too black, because my three volt cockroach by Canon couldn't solve the contrasty light problems.
