A Taco Bell customer enraged that the seven burritos he ordered had gone up in price fired a BB gun at an employee and later fired an assault rifle at officers before barricading himself in a motel room, police said.
As the restaurant's employees and customers hit the floor Sunday, the manager called police and, when officers arrived, the angry patron fired several shots at the police cars, San Antonio Police Sgt. Chris Benavides said. |

In Florida, gun owners can't holster their guns outside of their clothing, but that could change if a piece of legislation turns into law.
It's called "open carry" and it's drawing plenty of attention from advocates and opponents alike.
Charles O'Meara of Shoot Straight, a firearms store, thinks the law would scare those who don't own guns and create opportunities for crime. |

But Joubran’s son did use a gun. Flint police told TV5 two people came in the door on a mission to rob Jules Market, but Edmund Joubran, who works at his parents' business, fired before the robbers could.
"One guy came around the corner and showed my son his gun,” said Joubran. "As he's handing him the money, he pulls out his gun and shot him. Its hard on him because he shot someone.”
Police said one of the two robbers struck by the bullets died on his way to the hospital. Police said the other robber is wounded and still on the run. |

Do you think that carrying a weapon is going to magically stop these acts from happening?
It could only make matters worse. Who’s to say that student A would or would not pull out there gun as a joke and it accidentally fires off and someone across the yard gets hit.
Who’s to say student B receives a failing grade and pulls there gun on to their teacher to change their grade.
Ed.: Who can say if college students know the difference between 'there' and 'their'? |

Shelton Myers slowly brought a hand to his brow, then bowed his head at the defendant's table where he sat.
Then, after wiping his eyes, Myers gazed toward the spot in the courtroom where only moments before he had heard the verdict that absolved him of murder in the 2006 shooting death of James Roy Holder in Lumberton. |

S. 570 — “a bill to prohibit the Department of Justice from tracking and cataloging the purchases of multiple rifles and shotguns.”
The bill would prohibit the use of federal funds for a multiple sales reporting scheme proposed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Last month, the U.S. House of Representatives adopted an amendment with similar language. That amendment to an omnibus spending bill, offered by Representatives Dan Boren (D-Okla.) and Denny Rehberg (R-Mont.), passed the chamber (277-149) with broad bipartisan support. |
