I agree, it should never be used, but tell me… if you were in public office, would you EVER mention it in public as an option? lets face it, they werent just talking about it in an office, they released an official statement that included it… they arent withholding at all. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/do-you-live-in-schenectady-you-could-be-under-martial-law-soon/242957)._
