Company Pulls Out Of Oklahoma Lawsuit: Apparently in the wake of the
NRA-engendered boycott of ConocoPhillips, The Williams Companies have
field paperwork to pull out of a lawsuit by a group of employers in
Oklahoma. The lawsuit seeks to block a state law that would deprive
employers of the ability to ban storage of firearms in vehicles parked
on company lots.

Warning Shot?: An Ohio man fired a warning shot to dissuade someone who
was trying to kick in his front door. The shot, fired through the door,
struck the suspected burglar in the leg. Warning shots are generally a
bad idea - the bullet has to stop somewhere.

Green Bay Chief Part Of Orchestrated Opposition To CCW: It looks like
the claimed opposition of Wisconsin police chiefs to licensed CCW is
limited to a mere handful (if that many) in the Green Bay area.

Rule Three Reminder:  A Tennessee state trooper shot himself in the leg
while reholstering after a pursuit. (Rule Three: Keep your finger out of
the trigger guard, up on the frame, until your sights are on the target
and you're prepared to fire. Conversely, get your finger out of the
trigger guard when you come off target.)

Fight Crime, With A Whistle?: The Frederick (MD) PD is distributing
whistles to help the citizens it is sworn to serve fight crime. Lt.
Shawn Martyak, the police's community services head, noted that using
the whistle would require a certain amount of common sense. "You have to
use it reasonably," he said. "If it's someone with a weapon, you're
hopefully going to comply. Without a weapon being present, this is an
ideal tool." (Until the whistle gets punched down your throat.)

From Alan Korwin:

(Full contact info at end)


Dear Editor,

Newscasters and reporters are falling all over themselves trying to out-praise the now deceased Peter Jennings. They're next, so I suppose it's only natural, but it hides something important.

Jennings was one of the prime actors in the greatest news suppression and anti-rights campaigns ever waged. Yes, it's the anti-gun-rights, hide-everything-positive-about-guns media campaign that rushes on unabated to this day.

Listen up folks -- because Jennings and his media comrades refuse to tell you -- guns are good, guns save lives, guns stop crime, and guns are why America is still free. What, you haven't seen that in the news, ever? You're a witness to this simple truth.

Most news people I meet cannot even name ten story ideas that portray the wholesome and wonderful side of firearms or the great two-century American tradition of the right to keep and bear arms.

Huge numbers of Americans own guns, enjoy guns, and know this is true. Many are alive today because guns are good. But Jennings spent decades hiding it, lying about it, suppressing the side he and his "J-school" accomplices hate -- the free, individually responsible, armed adult citizen. It's not good to hate.

How bad is it? Thirteen scholarly studies confirm 2-1/2 million defensive gun uses annually. In 2001, Jennings, with his corrupt corps of "news" leaders at the other two networks, aired 190,000 words about gun crime, and zero words about defensive gun use. Zero. It's just as bad in print (I have the numbers if you care to see, posted at gunlaws.com). That's not a measurement upon which to heap praise.


Sincerely,


Alan Korwin, Author
