Texas has its own amphibian, dinosaur and pepper, but no official state handgun. Until now, if state Rep. Mike Lang, R-Granbury, has his way. Lawmakers are primed to pull the trigger on a resolution that would designate the 1847 Colt Walker pistol, used in the Mexican-American War, as the state handgun of Texas.

With one stroke of a pen, Gov. Terry Branstad is poised to make Iowa one of the friendliest states for gun owners. Lawmakers have passed a bill that many say is the most comprehensive and broadest piece of legislation on gun rights the state has seen. The legislation would, among other things, allow citizens to use deadly force if they believe their lives are threatened and to sue local government officials if they think gun-free zones have violated their Second Amendment rights. |

A Stockholm editorial columnist may have just done American gun owners an unintentional favor by suggesting this week that, because vehicles have become the new weapon of choice for some terrorists, automobiles should be more strictly regulated and even prohibited in “the collection sites and city centers.”

Iowa is set to become the latest state to allow gun owners to keep firearms at their side while visiting the state Capitol, a move that has raised questions about how security workers would deal with armed visitors. When Republican Gov. Terry Branstad signs the measure Thursday as part of a wide-ranging gun bill, it will mirror similar activity at statehouses around the U.S. in recent years. |

A teddy bear on display Wednesday in Chicago is not soft or furry, cute or cuddly. It is metallic gray and has a gun barrel with a capacity for six bullets as its muzzle. The Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence launched the new public awareness campaign — titled "Teddy Gun" and produced by local ad agency FCB Chicago — to raise awareness of gun violence. It aims to highlight the lack of government oversight in gun manufacturing by pointing out that plush toys are subject to more federal safety standards and regulations than guns. |

Owner Debbie Newman says accessories to keep firearms secure are a necessity both in homes and in stores.

In response, one man — Travis Baldridge, 22, of Findlay — shot him at least five times, police said.

Contrary to what the National Rifle Association and other such organizations would have us believe, we can regulate the ownership and use of firearms without offending the Second Amendment. In the U.S. Supreme Court's Heller decision, Justice Antonin Scalia found an individual right to a firearm, but qualified it: “[T]he right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited. [It is] not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose. [P]rohibitions on carrying concealed weapons [are] lawful under the Second Amendment or state analogues.

Nebraska lawmakers signaled Wednesday they intend to pull rank on local elected officials when it comes to regulating guns. The Legislature voted 32-12 to advance a bill that would require state law to override municipal gun regulations in Nebraska. Supporters of the measure narrowly defeated a filibuster by senators who argued that cities and villages ought to control firearm possession and require handgun registration in their communities.
