"An armed Internal Revenue Service agent was arrested last night after making obscene comments to two other passengers while going to their seats on a Southwest Airlines flight in Louisville, an airport spokeswoman said."
"Brandon N. Fox, 24, who is from Chicago, had proper clearance to carry his gun, said Rande Swann, spokeswoman for Louisville International Airport."
"But about 8:25 p.m., on Chicago-bound Flight 2524, he made a 'very obscene' comment to a female passenger who had said he was holding others up while storing his luggage overhead, Swann said."
"When the passenger's fiance asked him to apologize, Fox made a similar crude comment to him, Swann said."
"The couple complained, and the captain ordered Fox off the plane, saying he didn't want an unruly, armed passenger on the plane, according to the arrest record."
" 'The pilot has the prerogative to have somebody removed from the flight,' Swann said."
"Airport police removed Fox, and he was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. He was still in the Jefferson County jail late last night." |

"A police detective fatally shot a Brooklyn man Sunday because the knife-wielding suspect left officers no way to back away from the confrontation, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said."
"The incident marked the fourth time in a week that Brooklyn cops shot and killed a suspect in unrelated confrontations."
SPECIAL RIGHTS
Meanwhile, the average person who wants to carry a firearm for self-defense in NYC, against a knife-wielding attacker who offers "no way to back away from the confrontation" is simply out of luck and must use his/her hands to defend against the attack -- or face a possible felony conviction for having the audacity to exercise the right to keep and bear arms in self-defense. |

Obtain a license or permit to carry in your home state, and strap on the gun to take a trip around the country. Sounds good but, it has been a struggle to get some states to recognize another state permit or license." |

Blog, by Volokh, on Garry Wills' view of the Second Amendment
"It's not an individual freedom from government suppression, or even a right of states to have arms that can protect them against the federal government (Wills rejects that argument, too). Rather, it's an affirmative entitlement to a form of government subsidy. Quite a remarkable reading of the phrase 'the right of the people to keep and bear arms....'
Quite remarkable." |

However, it has been the subject of some controversy in certain circles, and for good reason. You see, the 13th Amendment, also called the 'Title of Nobility' Amendment, which prefaced this article - deals with prohibiting LAWYERS from holding positions of public office within the U.S." |

And too, an economic collapse is occurring on W's watch that may rival the one that made FDR desperate to have Japan attack us."

"Men armed with guns and machetes killed a leading lawyer and outspoken government critic and his wife in southeast Nigeria, police said Tuesday."
"Police spokesman Haz Iwendi said Barnabas Igwe, the Nigerian Bar Association's local chairman, and his wife, Abigail Amaka Igwe, were killed late Sunday as they drove through the market city of Onitsha, in Anambra state."
" 'He was coming home from a meeting when a group of guys accosted them,' Iwendi said. 'They shot them several times and then tried to mutilate the bodies.' "
"Chuka Obele Chuka, the bar association's vice chairman in Onitsha, accused government-sponsored vigilantes, who call themselves the Bakassi Boys, of killing Igwe."
These same "Bakassi Boys" have been a handy excuse for gun confiscations: "Nigeria's police force began cracking down on the Bakassi Boys last month. They raided five bases in neighboring Abia state, arresting 33 vigilantes, freeing 46 illegally held prisoners and seizing stockpiles of guns and ammunition." Fair trial by jury? Nah. |

"In last months newsletter, we wrote of some firearm instructors in Kentucky and Tennessee who were charged with mail fraud. The indictments were issued when undercover investigations resulted in handgun 'Completion Certificates' being issued without the required handgun training as the law requires.

"During the 1990's, states started to enact Right To Carry Laws. Now, 32 states have laws allowing citizens to carry weapons. Men still hold the highest number of permits or licenses but, women have increased their percentage dramatically. What has changed the most over the years regarding women, is that they are know more knowledgeable regarding what type of handgun they want to buy and carry." |
