As is has come to our attention that a request has been made to forward all her mail to her court appointed attorney, Bryce Powell (who apparently will make his own decisons concerning her mail), Sierra Times is forced to revise it's policy. For those sending mail or traveling to Sandpoint, Idaho, please read this statement carefully. ..." |

Students watch as a member of the McKinley Mountain Men demonstrates muzzle loading. The day's demonstrations also included trap and skeet shooting, small-bore and high-power rifles, pistols and full-auto weapons, and silhouette shooting.
Shooting safety is "one of the most important skills youth can learn," she said. "I think the more they know about guns, the better. It's usually people who are ignorant with guns that get into trouble with them." |

"Charter One Bank canceled its contract with Tony Longcoy's employer soon after Longcoy wrestled a would-be robber to the ground yesterday morning... Longcoy, who had worked at the bank for 18 months, said he was told yesterday that he was supposed to be merely 'a deterrent' whose main responsibility is to get a good description of a bank robber, not catch one." |

A federal judge ruled Elián González's Miami relatives can pursue their lawsuit against the U.S. government solely on grounds that gun-wielding agents may have used "excessive force" during the April 22, 2000, raid to seize the Cuban boy. U.S. District Judge Shelby Highsmith, citing a Chicago Police case, said, "the Gonzálezes have alleged sufficient facts to support such a claim" that the government may have violated their Constitutional rights. |

"The McVeigh case has been a test of our system. There has never been a case that has tested the fairness of the judicial system like this one. And we have not passed the test very well."
Burr said the backbone of American law has always been that the justice system must be fair to the people who do the worst things. "And we have not done that with Tim McVeigh," he said. "We are certainly not what we purport to be."

McCain Gun-Lock Ad 'Dangerous,' Says Yale's John Lott

Sen. John McCain’s ad urging gun owners to keep their firearms locked up is "very misleading and dangerous," says an academic researcher at Yale Law School. Dr. John Lott, PhD., author of More Guns, Less Crime, fears that line is going to result in more deaths.
The ad, being shown at movie theaters all over America, warns that locking up the firearms to keep them out of the hands of children will prevent violent shootings. What it ignores is the possibility of a gun owner being awakened at night by an intruder. What does one do then? The armed burglar is not likely to be sympathetic if the victim says, "Hold your fire there for a minute while I unlock my gun cabinet, just to make this fair." |

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
