A jury has found Brittany Keene not guilty of malicious assault. The jury returned the verdict around 6:30 p.m. "We are grateful the jury saw the truth," said Shawn Fluharty, of Harris Law Offices. "West Virginia law is clear that you have the right to defend not only yourself, but in this instance, your unborn child. That's exactly what Ms. Keene did and we are happy that tonight she can go home to her family." |

Last week, a Florida senate committee advanced an NRA-backed bill that one critic dubbed a “gang members protection” act, since it would make it harder for the state to convict killers and others who claim self-defense. Right now, murder charges are handled the way most other criminal charges are handled. The state charges someone with murder. Then, at trial, the defendant is free to offer whatever defense he or she wants – whether it’s a claim of innocence, mental illness, self-defense or what have you. |

The nightmarish situation forced the homeowner into what is being called a self-defense shooting. The home invasion occurred early Sunday afternoon at 234 East 6th Street, in Baxter Springs. |

In front of a packed courtroom Monday, Allen Scarsella described the intense moments leading up to the moment he opened fire on Jamar Clark protesters he claims were assaulting him. It was Scarsella's second day testifying in his own defense in the trial resulting from a shooting at a Black Lives Matter protest in November 2015. He told jurors that protesters first approached him and his group of friends in a seemingly friendly way, and then things took a turn. |

A few months back I wrote a column entitled, "Guns don't kill people. Really?" My column usually will draw between 30 and 40 responses each week, some positive and some negative. The "Guns don't kill people," column kept me answering emails through much of the next week and beyond. Beginning today, I am going to write three columns that relate to the "gun" issue of The Second Amendment of the Constitution. The others will appear over the next couple of weeks. So, stay tuned. |

Last summer, Nate Kearns of Laramie received a commercial driver’s license and began earning more money. He underwent LASIK surgery to improve his eyesight and had purchased new fishing equipment. He also loved to camp. And if Nate was in a University of Wyoming stadium, he was the loudest Cowboys fan, said his father, Jim Kearns. But weeks later, on Aug. 29, he shot himself, Kearns told the House Judiciary Committee on Monday afternoon. Nate was 33. |

Sometimes we pick up an item of knowledge that opens up a deeper understanding. Such was the case for me recently when I heard Dr. Larry Arnn of Hillsdale College comment on the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights, as you recall, is the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution, which were added shortly after the document was approved. It is sort of a “Top Ten” list of the rights of a free people. Yet, I always wondered if there was a hierarchy within the Bill of Rights. According to Dr. Arnn, there is. |

The semi-automatic firearm is so standard now that many accept it as the way firearms have always worked. Truth is, getting a workable semi-automatic was as groundbreaking as the repeating firearm or center-fire primer. Like so many innovations, the semi-automatic firearm is older than most think, but it took a while to work out the wrinkles enough to get widespread attention. Ferdinand Ritter von Mannlicher, an Austrian engineer and small arms designer, is credited with the first semi-automatic firearm—a rifle—in 1885.

A little-known business of gunmaker Sturm, Ruger is suppressors. It's relatively new to that market, but it has made a lot of noise there nonetheless. Image source: Sturm, Ruger. And then there was one. Not that there was a lot of choice beforehand, but after Smith & Wesson decided to pursue the rugged outdoors market and change its corporate identity, Sturm, Ruger (NYSE: RGR) remains the only pure-play gun stock you can buy. For investors deciding whether there's still opportunity inherent in firearms, it's worthwhile to see if it makes sense to buy Ruger.

Armed home invaders knew it was a gun owner they were robbing at 2 a.m. on Jan. 26 in Mississippi. It started with a pistol whipping and escalated to five shots in his legs—perhaps to coerce him to open the gun safe. It’s an ugly reminder for all of us to be careful who discovers you’re a firearm enthusiast.
