"Traverse City police Officer Evan Warsecke hid his gun in their Interlochen home, but the boy 'climbed up into a place where, to be honest, I couldn't have gotten,' Benzie County Undersheriff Joseph Barone said. He apparently was playing with it when it discharged."

"The Virginia Shooting Sports Association (VSSA), the state affiliate of the NRA, said today that Arlington County is creating a registry of gun owners by misleading them to believe the information will be used as a tool to recover stolen firearms. The Virginia Legislature recently passed a law (HB484) requiring localities to destroy gun purchase permits by July 31st of this year. The bill repeals local purchase and registration schemes, but that hasnt stopped Arlington County from trying to register guns and gun owners."

WA: Improved Capitol Security pointless without a ban on all firearms

"In the post-9/11 world, we all think about security differently."

"So it's not surprising the state Legislature planned to spend $1 million in security and add metal detectors to the state Capitol as part of $115 million renovation of the building where the House, Senate and governor do their business. It makes sense. After all, the Capitol is a high-profile building where a lot of people gather."

"But, after reviewing state law, officials have determined that it is legal to carry firearms in the Capitol. State law bans guns at certain places, such as public school buildings, but it does not specifically ban them at the Capitol. Therefore, according to the Department of General Administration, a visitor will be able to carry a firearm onto the Capitol Campus and through metal detectors if he or she has a valid concealed weapons permit." ...

"The Legislature should either change the law to ban guns at the Capitol or abandon the $1 million security effort. Installing high-tech security equipment is a waste of money under the current conditions." ...

So "in the post 9/11 world" the threat to legislators comes from concealed carry permit holders, one of the most law-abiding demographics in the country.

The strange logic of assault weapons ban

... "The features that flagged these guns as intolerable, such as bayonet mounts and folding stocks, are features that have nothing to do with their killing power. The ban is the moral equivalent of banning red cars because they look too fast."

"Some gun-control supporters acknowledge as much. Tom Diaz of the Violence Policy Center said earlier this year, 'If the existing assault weapons ban expires, I personally do not believe it will make one whit of difference in terms of our objective ....' The VPC now says a broader ban is needed."

Why? Because 'gun makers have easily evaded the law by making slight, cosmetic changes to banned guns and continued their sale unimpeded.' But if you ban red cars and automakers increase their output of maroon ones, that's not evading the law - that's complying with the law."

"A Baldwin County Grand Jury has found that an Alabama State Trooper acted properly in an April shooting that left a Prichard man dead. The grand jury found that Darryl Taylor did not take "any action which would have required" State Trooper Angel Rodriguez to have fired the shot that killed him. It also found 'no criminal responsibility in this shooting.'"

"It happened on April Seventh, when Trooper Rodriguez pulled over a car Taylor was driving that had no brake lights. Rodriguez ran a check on the car's tag, and found the vehicle was reported stolen. So he planned to arrest Taylor on the felony charge, and asked him to get out of the car."

"'At that point he felt like it was needed for him to draw his pistol, and to put him on the ground,' says Whetstone. 'Unfortunately, when he drew his pistol, by all accounts, it just went off when he pulled it up.'"

KABA Note: According to forensics, the pistol "just went off" because Trooper Rodriguez pulled the trigger.

"When Minnesota changed the way it issued handgun permits a year ago, Brian Roeder was among the first to apply."

"An outdoorsman since his youth, Roeder admits that over the years he often put a handgun in his bag on hunting trips. These days, with his Hennepin County-issued permit, he nearly always keeps a handgun in his truck or with him when he's riding his Harley Davidson."

"'Now, at least it's legal,' he said."

"Roeder is among the more than 22,000 Minnesotans to receive handgun permits since the law was changed a year ago to make it much easier. That's about twice as many permits as were issued the previous year, but well short of projections that as many as 90,000 permits would be issued in the first three years of the new law." ...
