"Police have licensed 70 prosecutors across the country to carry firearms for self-defense following the murder of prosecutor Ferry Silalahi in Palu, Central Sulawesi, on May 26."
"National Police spokesman Insp. Gen. Paiman said on Friday that the Attorney General's Office (AGO) had asked the police to authorize the carrying of firearms by its prosecutors, whose lives were often in danger due to the cases they were handling."
" 'We agree to issue licenses to 70 prosecutors nationwide. It depends on the AGO to decide which prosecutors will be armed as it knows better which prosecutors need to defend themselves,' said Paiman." ...

"A group of sporting magazines and gun clubs sued Contra Costa supervisors in San Francisco federal court Tuesday over an ordinance banning the sale of .50-caliber rifles."
"Supervisors approved the controversial restrictions in April, arguing that a terrorist could use the powerful weapon to set an oil refinery ablaze in a toxic conflagration."
"Supervisor Millie Greenberg of Danville voted against the measure. At the time, she pointed out that proponents failed to produce a refinery safety expert to corroborate those claims."
"The ordinance, which goes into effect Sunday, applies only to dealers in the county's unincorporated areas. There are two such retailers, neither of which sells .50-caliber weapons." |

"The Youth Gun Violence Program in Chicago, Ill., which connects youth who are convicted of gun violations with victims of gun violence, is being hailed as a success, the Northwest Indiana Times reported May 28."
"The program focuses on youth with first and second offenses involving guns. As part of their probation, a Cook County Juvenile Court judge orders juveniles to attend a gun-violence program. Through the weekly sessions and 12 hours of community service, the juveniles learn how a single gunshot can change a life forever."

"You may recall that last year he had AB 992, which proposed a 10-cent tax per bullet on the sale of ammunition in California. This was soundly defeated. His new bill (AB 2858) would exempt people with a valid hunting license, but the fees would still apply to law-abiding target shooters who do not hunt."

"John Horstman, 43, of Schaumburg picked up a check for $50,000 at the DuPage County state's attorney's office Wednesday.

"Horstman's arrest became a rallying point for Concealed Carry Inc., an Oak Brook-based group promoting the right of law-abiding citizens to carry weapons.
