Jeremy Ryan Cook, 18, was gunned down on Sunday in London, Ontario, according to police.
Cook had left his phone in a taxi cab, and then electronically tracked it to a parking lot. He went to the location with a relative at 5:15 a.m. and approached a Mazda sedan with three people inside.
The car drove a short distance and shots were fired, according to police, who found Cook body's nearby. He died from multiple gunshot wounds and police are hunting for the three suspects.
Submitters note: How is this possible in Canada with their strict gun controls? You can't even legally keep a handgun in your house. My Canadian friend has to keep his pistols at the gun range. More proof that gun control laws don't work. |

Arkansas has pretty permissive gun laws. It does not require handgun owners to obtain licenses, does not ban so-called assault weapons, issues concealed-carry permits to anyone who meets a short list of objective criteria, accepts carry permits issued by other states, and since 2013 arguably allows people to openly carry handguns without a permit. |

The latest chapter in the battle pitting gun owners who want to carry their weapons in public against California sheriffs who rarely grant such requests played out Tuesday in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.
But the exchange was more humdrum than heated and, at the end of the oral arguments, more questions than answers remained. The future of concealed carry permits in California is now in the hands of the 11 judges, who are expected to reach a final decision in the coming months. |

Unofficial results showed the measure passed 77-58, just one vote more than necessary to pass the bill, after GOP lawmakers rose to condemn it as a violation of Second Amendment gun rights and an extension of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s SAFE Act that sharply expanded the law pertaining to criminal possession of handguns, rifles and ammunition.
Opponents said having easily accessible guns in the house is key to defending your home and not becoming a crime victim, and they worried the mandate to keep guns under lock and key would open up antique gun collectors and hunters to criminal charges. |

Sadly, we’re now having to devote energies on defense to explain why Johnson’s proposed bill really isn’t “common sense.” It’s a prospect made all the more difficult because your average citizen isn’t going to be able to grasp why a mentally healthy person might want or need to walk into an airport with AR-15 with a drum magazine inserted to see someone off at the airport, unless that airport is in Afghanistan.
When gun rights activists and pro-gun lawmakers have to deal with distracting, grandstanding behavior like Cooley’s, it takes away time we could better spend attempting to pass other pro-gun laws, or dismantle gun control laws already on the books. |

The state says people can openly carry a weapon, but one county is considering banning open carry on county property.
Cumberland County Commissioners could vote to criminalize openly carrying a weapon in county buildings. This proposal comes after a man walked into a library with an unconcealed gun, was asked to leave, and threatened to sue. |

Early Monday, House Bill 3093 was sent to Senate Rules Committee from the floor for further amendments.
As previously reported, HB 3093 was a reciprocity bill that was making its way through the Legislature when Senator Prozanski insisted on amendments to include a so-called “technical” change that essentially made reciprocity impossible. The amendment also included a “fix” to ensure that certain nail guns are not required to undergo a background check when transferred because of the language in Senate Bill 941. |

A new study attempts to debunk the claim that gun owners rely on their firearms for self-defense.
The left-leaning Violence Policy Center released a study Wednesday that finds people are much more likely to use a gun to kill someone without cause than to protect themselves.
According to the study, gun owners committed 259 justifiable homicides compared to 8,342 criminal homicides in 2012, the most recent year data was available.
That means gun owners are 32 times more likely to kill someone without cause than to act in self-defense, the study reasoned. |
