An 18 year old from Gainesville claims he was turned away when he tried to buy a gun at Bass Pro Shops on Friday. The young man thinks it was discrimination. Malik Bakr is of legal age to buy a firearm. He wanted to go on a hunting trip with some friends. He went to the new Bass Pro Shops in Gainesville, and brought his friend Heath Smiley, an experienced hunter and gun owner. "It was his first time owning one. First time ever shooting one, I went with him as guidance to tell him what he should buy for his first time, what would be most comfortable for him," said Smiley. |

A shooting at a home on the west side of Evansville was self-defense, according to the sheriff. It happened just before 2:30 a.m. Tuesday on Key West Drive and Largo Court. According to the sheriff office, the shooting happened after a domestic dispute between three family members escalated. The sheriff's office says a woman called 911 and told dispatchers she had been attacked by her son, 21-year-old Matthew Scott Uloth, and that her husband, Jon Scott Uloth, had him at gunpoint. |

A pawn shop that sold a gun to a mentally ill Missouri woman who used it to fatally shoot her father settled Tuesday in a wrongful death case for $2.2 million, which the plaintiff's lawyer says is the largest settlement since a 2005 federal law that shields gun manufacturers from most similar lawsuits. |

There is one question Carol Runyan considers vitally important to ask the parents of suicidal teens: Is there a gun in the house? Runyan, the director of Program for Injury Prevention, Education, and Research at the Colorado School of Public Health, knows the presence of a firearm in a home increases the odds that someone who lives there will take his or her own life. Guns are reliably lethal — research indicates that suicide attempts involving a firearm result in death 85 percent of the time, compared to less than three percent when the means is a drug overdose. |

Gather 'round, boys and girls! Auntie Tamara has a story to tell! Back in the early 1990s, when I first got into the gun-selling business, it was the tail end of the great period of transition for American law enforcement agencies from revolvers to semi-automatic pistols. Smith & Wesson revolver collecting, as we know it today, was in its infancy and mostly revolved around pre-war N-frames and such. As a consequence, catalogs from wholesalers were just awash in 4-inch, medium-frame wheelguns for stupid-cheap prices. |

A New Orleans man has taken aim at a city ordinance that forbids the possession and sale of stun guns, claiming the little-known ban violates his Second Amendment right to self-defense. The legal challenge comes amid a mounting push to lift similar restrictions in the handful of jurisdictions around the country that outlaw Tasers and other electroshock weapons, including a case in New Jersey in which authorities recently acknowledged that state's ban "would likely not pass constitutional muster." |

Gov. Tom Wolf signed a bill Monday that permits the use of semi-automatic rifles and handguns for hunting. The law does not expand the type of guns that may be owned or possessed in the state, nor does it make semi-automatics legal for hunting in time for the upcoming firearm deer season, which opens Nov. 28. |

"If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” insinuated Donald Trump on Hillary Clinton’s alleged desire to repeal the right to bear arms while campaigning back in August. “Although the Second Amendment people ... maybe there is, I don’t know.” The notion that Trump, who was elected president of the United States last month, would obliquely encourage his constituents to physically harm a political rival was unprecedented. His behavior was denounced not only by politicians on both sides of the aisle, including Clinton running mate Sen. Tim Kaine and Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan, but also local gun enthusiasts. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
