Liability Laws: This is the pet issue for one of the currently unindicted Democratic candidates for President. She is pushing the idea that gun companies are somehow completely free from the product liability laws which cover improperly made or dangerous products, but nothing could be further from the truth. |

So-called campus carry goes into effect in August after the Texas Legislature last year voted to require public universities to allow guns carried by licensed adults.

But it’s not the reason that Mayor Bob Severns is planning on making management changes in the police department. |

Cub and Boy Scouts from six area towns spent three days learning wilderness and camping skills at Honey Springs Battlefield Historic Site. “The overall theme is a perspective of Honey Springs’ battle and to learn various things Civil War soldiers may have experienced,” said Joe Morris, the chairman of the Scouts’ Neosho District. |

Gov. Nathan Deal could deal another major blow to conservatives in the Republican-dominated Legislature as lawmakers await his decision on another controversial piece of legislation: a bill to allow college and university students ages 21 and up to carry a concealed handgun on campus with a permit. Rep. Buzz Brockway, a Republican from Lawrenceville, co-sponsored the bill, but said he did not want to predict which way the governor would lean. |

With one month left in the 2016 Legislature, some of the most widely discussed legislation has died while some, like charter school expansion and 'religious freedom' bills, make their way to the governor's desk. Wednesday was the deadline for passage of general bills that originated in the opposite chamber, though many of the bigger bills died earlier at the committee deadline. |

With this year’s legislative session nearing an end, Republicans and Democrats will soon face questions from their constituents about their legislative accomplishments. |

The legislation being considered allowing concealed weapons on our campuses would, if passed, have many negative consequences. I urge the Legislature to reconsider moving this bill (SB 174) forward and I urge the community to make our dismay over the bill known. I believe this legislation is actually an existential threat to the university for a number of reasons. In my view, the first and last are the most important. |

Dorm rooms would be off limits for firearms under the latest version of a proposed law aimed at allowing concealed weapons on the campuses of Missouri's public universities. Seeking to address concerns raised by university officials — including Missouri State President Clif Smart — Rep. Jered Taylor, R-Nixa, added the exemption to a bill he is sponsoring that would allow concealed weapons to be carried in many areas on college campuses. |

The valley was booming. Gunfire from the Upper Valley Fish and Game Club, neighbors said, drowned out peepers in spring and thrushes in summer, hollowing the peace in this corner of rural Vermont. The noise was different from 20 years ago — a barrage of high-powered, rapid-fire guns that, as one neighbor upset by the noise put it, created a “Fallujah” soundtrack on Five Corners Road. |

Tyrrell Hunter held her first Maine 'Grandmothers Against Gun Violence' meeting Sunday afternoon in Brunswick. Hunter said she's starting this local group because she's fed up with gun violence in this country. Hunter first started working on the group in December after the mass shooting in San Bernardino, California but shortly thereafter the issue of gun violence hit much closer to home making it even more important to her.

The punditry’s dissection of the origins of the Donald Trump juggernaut has lately been joined by exhaustive analysis of a corollary phenomenon: the rise of the self-described “alt right.” The alt right is a confrontational strain of conservative thought that has recently crept out of the shadowy online precincts where it was born to assert its influence on the 2016 campaign.

Keith Carey is a gunsmith in Montrose, a town with a frontier flavor set amid the mesas of western Colorado. He's a staunch, though soft-spoken, defender of the right to bear arms. Yet now he's a willing recruit in a fledgling effort to see if the gun community itself - sellers and owners of firearms, operators of shooting ranges - can help Colorado and other Western states reduce their highest-in-the-nation suicide rates.
