Sub-Forum: Crime Topic?

I wonder if the mods should create a new sub-forum for crime related stories? I see them posted in Off-Topic and sometimes in Never Again. But there are enough of them - usually at least one per day - that I wonder if the forum would be better served if there was a defined location for them?
Could be called 'The Blotter' - like the newspapers.

If you wanted to keep it specifically to crime-related articles, I'd recommend The Crime Blotter. Then news articles about other stuff like politics and law wouldn't look like they belong there.

I like 'Crime Blotter' - that works. I'm going to bump this post.
There have been a tremendous number of these reports lately. I am very glad they are posted. It gives each of us a chance to try to 'put ourselves' into those situations - increasing our awareness and potentially sharpening our responses.
But I really think the mods or board administrators should consider creating a 'home' for these type of posts. They are in:
Off-Topic
General Gun, Shooting & Equipment Discussion
Never Again!!
General Texas CHL Discussion

The Moderators are considering this request.

I like this idea a lot.

they're all legal. subforum closed.
"is this sign valid and enforceable?" subforum might be more appropriate

Don't they cover that in the class?
Oh, yeah, apparently not, based on what we've been told.

I was going to create a "FAQ" thread on that, but then realized it would link to approximately one-half of the 35,551 (currently) threads on the forum....
