Responsible gun owners defend themselves, but we didn't see it in the news. Andee Reardon and Rob Morse talk about three new examples of armed defense.
First story- You meet in a parking lot to sell your cell phone. Two men walk up to your car and point a gun at you.
Second story- You step off the street towards your house. A man approaches you. He has a gun and demands your wallet.
Third story- It is closing time when a man walks into your shop. He points a gun at you and the other customers. You step behind the cash register..and you're armed.
What would you do in these situations? Text and podcast available at the link. (17 minute audio podcast)

Another bill calls for enhanced background checks when purchasing assault weapons and large capacity magazines. Supporters want to raise the purchase age to 21 years old, require safety training and an annual background check renewal. One of those supporters is the Snohomish County deputy prosecutor who handled the 2016 Mukilteo shooting. He is a seasoned prosecutor but Adam Cornell says that day was different, “I've had a lot of bad days with victims and families but the worst day of my career was the day I was called out to the Mukilteo shooting.”

That happened at a special meeting Tuesday night. The Las Vegas shooter used a bump stock on at least one of his weapons during the rampage that killed nearly 60 people in October, allowing him to fire as many as 90 rounds in 10 seconds.

With nearly 1,000 people on both sides of the gun rights issue listening, Second Amendment advocates, including some retired law enforcement professionals, told a Washington State Senate panel that proposed gun control measures in that state will do nothing to prevent crimes, but only penalize law-abiding citizens.
The Senate Law and Justice committee held hearings on six pieces of legislation ranging from a ban on so-called “bump stocks” and original capacity ammunition magazines to one that would undo the state’s 35-year-old preemption statute. The session covered Senate Bills 5444, 5463,5992, 6049 and 6146.

A township man who was shot in the abdomen during an apparent domestic-related incident Monday night died a short time later in surgery, one week before his 25th birthday, Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood said Tuesday. While circumstances involving the death of Seifuddin Collier remained under investigation, Chitwood said they have identified the alleged gunman and he is claiming self-defense.

Here’s a thing that happens often enough that it’s become a meme, a trope, a truism. Walk into any gun store and listen to the conversation around the handgun counter (or, alternatively, belly up to your favorite online forum) and within a surprisingly short amount of time you will hear someone suggest something that gets belittled by the regulars. More importantly, it will be belittled in a rather specific way, like so. |

We are mid-way through January 2018 which means Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has ignored national reciprocity for 45 consecutive weeks. National reciprocity for concealed carry was introduced in the Senate on March 1, 2017 and McConnell has yet to say a word in support of it. His silence is ironic, given the fact that he cloaked himself in the Second Amendment in order to sway pro-gun Kentuckians into re-electing him in 2014. |

The bill, which legislators introduced Tuesday, will be named the Beau Biden Gun Violence Prevention Act and mirror a failed legislation that was proposed by the late former attorney general, according to the governor's office.
