The man accused of killing six people at random during a shooting spree in Kalamazoo did not have a license to carry a concealed weapon, authorities said.
Kalamazoo County Undersheriff Pali Matyas said he confirmed Tuesday Jason B. Dalton, 45, is not a concealed pistol license holder.
For example, Matyas said he doesn't know how many guns Dalton had registered to him at his Cooper Township home and investigators have not said when Dalton purchased the alleged murder weapon – a 9 mm semiautomatic handgun – or whether the gun was properly registered and owned legally.

I’ve a word of advice for new gun owners. Ignore a lot of the advice you’re given. You see, gun owners are like everyone else. We want a contradiction. We not only want a contradiction; we want the perfect contradiction.
We are the problem. We want all these things. We want one gun for many uses, and I’m as guilty as the next person.
If we were more honest, we’d admit that we are selling a new gun buyer their first gun.. rather than their only gun.
We must drive sales people crazy as we sort out our wants across their counter. |

In August, the campus carry law goes into effect, when concealed guns will be allowed in certain areas on public universities. It's the second study this particular professor did with another professor about guns on campus. They first asked students in the fall who were strongly opposed, and now they asked professors. |

“Handguns are the big seller.”
That's what Bloomberg Businessweek's Paul Barrett learned after spending three days in a gun shop outside Las Vegas, Nevada, in the lead-up to today's Republican caucuses.
Barrett, who's an assistant managing editor and senior writer at Bloomberg Businessweek and the author of Glock: The Rise of America's Gun (Broadway Books, 2013), said most people came into the shop with torn out ads from local newspapers and concerns about everything from home security to mass shootings. |

Texas' new law allowing college students to carry guns on public campuses doesn't take effect until August, but it's already triggered a showdown.
University of Texas-Austin President Gregory Fenves declared this week that he'll comply with the law, but claimed a loophole allows him to ban firearms in dormitories.
That interpretation is not likely to sit well with state Attorney General Ken Paxton, who in December said that a ban on guns in dorms would be flouting the law. |

Should we be marketing guns to children?
For some this concept may seem pretty self-evident. If you want to preserve your Second Amendment right you need to market the Second Amendment to future generations.
Others can’t quite grasp the concept of positive firearms marketing to children. |
