Y'all,
Hey there I have a question on
the cut and chop card. Okay a boy broung a knife to
with him church Sunday night. Was playing around with
it and had no card. Okay if he had a card and was
playing around with the knife. It ain't Ranger night
can't a Cmdr still rip a corner off his card? Even
though it ain't Ranger night? I got it in a subject
with a boy that said. I couldn't for it ain't Ranger
night.
