Judge Rules Against Arizona Shooting Defendant: The judge in the trial
of the retired teacher who fatally shot a man who threatened him on a
hiking trail has ruled that Arizona's newly enacted law expanding
self-defense rights does not apply in this case. The defense argued the
law applies to the Fish case because the change is a procedural one,
which state law allows to be applied to cases filed before the law went
into effect. The prosecution argued that the law does not apply because
the change is a substantive one, and therefore, because Fish was charged
under the old law, the old law still applies.

Police Blame Faulty Trigger: The chief of the Midland (MI) PD says a
faulty rifle trigger is to blame for a sniper's stray bullet that
traveled about 150 feet during an April 17 standoff here. "The gun was
sitting on a backpack and, when it was moved, the material from the
backpack rubbed against the trigger guard," he said. "It was just enough
vibration to set it off."

Oops, Wrong News Carrier: "Charlie" said two teens came out of a bush on
Chesapeake Boulevard and made threats. He said he showed his gun in
hopes of scaring them off, but it didn't. "I heard this guy put a bullet
in the chamber of his weapon and instead of retreating, now they're
coming towards me," he said. (Note that despite the reluctance of the
victim to actually fire a shot, the fact that the robber was carrying
with an empty chamber gave him the time to make the necessary decision.)

see that at the academy level future officers are being trained to shoot
under a wide variety of circumstances, including lying down.)

From NRA-ILA:
NRA-ILA Grassroots Alert Vol. 13, No. 19 05/12/06
States with updates this issue: Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, New York, Ohio, Oregon,
South Carolina, and, Washington.
OKLAHOMA GOVERNOR SIGNS
NRA-BACKED "CASTLE DOCTRINE" BILL INTO LAW
Today, Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry (D) signed HB 2615, the NRA-backed
"Castle Doctrine" self-defense bill, into law.
"I want to thank Governor Brad Henry for signing this victims' rights
bill into law," said NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox. "When
you're confronted by a criminal, you don't have the luxury of time.
This bill states that if victims choose to stand their ground and fight,
their decision will not be second-guessed by the State of Oklahoma. The
ability to protect yourself, your children, or your spouse from harm is
important, whether you're in your home or outside."
HB 2615 simply states that if a criminal breaks into your home, your
occupied vehicle or your place of business, you may presume he is there
to do bodily harm and you may use any force necessary against him. It
also removes the "duty to retreat" if you are attacked in any place you
have a legal right to be.
Further, HB 2615 provides protection from criminal prosecution and civil
litigation for those who defend themselves from criminal attack. The
"Castle Doctrine" bill met with overwhelming, bipartisan support,
passing 96-2 in the state House and 83-4 in the Senate. Oklahoma joins
eight other states that have signed similar legislation into law this
legislative cycle.
"On behalf of all NRA members in Oklahoma, I want to thank Governor Brad
Henry for signing this important bill into law. I'd also like to thank
the bill's chief sponsors, Representative Kevin Calvey (R-94) and
Senator Harry Coates (R-28), for their leadership in passing this vital
measure," concluded Cox. "The 'Castle Doctrine' bill is about putting
the law back on the side of the victim, the way it's supposed to be."
BASELESS CONCLUSION OF BRADY REPORT CHALLENGED
The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) called the conclusions of
a gun tracing report issued by the anti-gun Brady Center "ludicrous" and
referred those who want an unbiased explanation about the relevance of
trace data to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
(BATFE).
Commenting on the Brady Center's latest conspiracy-theory propaganda,
NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel Lawrence G. Keane said,
"'Without a Trace' shows anti-gun groups are without a clue. This
so-called report is the last gasp of a desperate extremist group that
remains intent on pursuing junk lawsuits against a critical U.S.
industry-despite the clearly stated will of the American people through
the actions of Congress and state legislatures to block such lawsuits."
Keane went on to cite numerous cases of support for maintaining
restrictions on the release of BATFE gun trace data. "Law enforcement
supports the restrictions. BATFE supports the restrictions. Congress
and the President support the restrictions. The only people who want to
lift the restrictions are the lawyers at gun ban groups, and New York
City Mayor Bloomberg.
"You don't have to ask us, ask the experts," concluded Keane, referring
to multiple quotes and documents previously released by the BATFE that
support restricting the release of trace data to the public.
FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE ROUNDUP
There are a number of pro-gun bills pending in Congress that require
your action. Please review these legislative initiatives and be sure to
contact your U.S. Representative at (202) 225-3121, and your U.S.
Senators at (202) 224-3121, and urge him or her to cosponsor and support
these measures. Additional contact information can be found using the
"Write Your Representatives" feature at www.NRAILA.org.
H.R. 5092-This bill would improve BATFE's process for punishing FFLs
and establish guidelines for BATFE investigations. This bill was
drafted in large part to address recent BATFE abuses at Richmond,
Va.-area gun shows highlighted in hearings before the U.S. House
Judiciary Committee's Subcommitee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security.
S. 2599/H.R. 5013-Legislation to prohibit the confiscation of lawfully
owned firearms during states of emergency. Would guarantee legal
recourse for victims of illegal gun seizures
H.R. 1384-This bill would remove several antiquated and unnecessary
restrictions imposed on interstate firearms business since 1968.
S. 1082/H.R. 1288-Legislation to repeal the draconian D.C. gun ban and
restore the right of lawful District residents to own firearms to defend
themselves and their families.
H.R. 4547-Federal legislation requiring recognition of out-of-state
Right-to-Carry permits.
H.R. 5005-This measure will codify congressional policies, roll back
restrictions, and correct errors in federal firearm laws.
Again, please contact your U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators and
urge them to cosponsor and support these measures. For additional
information on these bills, please visit www.NRAILA.org.
NRA-ILA "MIX N' MINGLES"
Much is at stake in this year's elections; we will decide if we continue
to move ahead on the path of pro-gun reform, or, if we will descend to
the dark Clinton-Gore years. In order to ensure continued success for
the Second Amendment, we must elect pro-gun lawmakers to office this
election season.
To ensure victory for our pro-gun candidates this election year, NRA-ILA
will be hosting FREE NRA-ILA "Mix N' Mingles" across the country. These
events will provide NRA members with training on what they can do
locally to propel candidates to victory this election season. The
meetings also provide attendees the opportunity to meet and socialize
with lawmakers, candidates, and their staffs; NRA-ILA Headquarters
staff; and fellow area NRA members-and to earn FREE NRA fraternal items
such as hats, pocketknives, buttons, etc. "Mix N' Mingles," including
materials, food, beverages, and NRA items, are FREE!
Mix N' Mingle events are scheduled for:
- Eau Claire, WI -- 05/23/06
- Ashland, WI -- 05/24/06
- Jackson, MS -- 06/03/06
- Wallkill, NY -- 06/10/06
NRA members who have access to the Internet can go to
www.nraila.org/workshops/ to reserve their seats on-line. NRA members
are encouraged to check this website address frequently to see if any
upcoming "Mix N' Mingles" are scheduled in their area. NRA members may
also contact the NRA-ILA Grassroots Division at (800) 392-VOTE (8683)
for details and to reserve their seats.
SIGNS, SIGNS, EVERYWHERE SIGNS
It has been estimated that well-placed campaign signs can account for
four percentage points on Election Day. Think back to the 2000
presidential election, where 537 votes in Florida separated George W.
Bush from Al Gore, and four points seems like a landslide! While you
are focused like a laser beam on the November 7 election, some gun
owners may not be aware of what's at stake for the future of the Second
Amendment on Election Day.
To help us raise gun owner awareness of the impending election, and to
market NRA's campaign efforts, we have produced two colorful, patriotic
campaign yard signs featuring our "I'm the NRA & I Vote" and "Vote
Freedom First!" slogans. These high quality signs are bold, durable,
and easy to assemble. Everything needed to assemble the sign is
contained in one compact package, and all components made in the USA.
Each sign costs a very reasonable $14.95, or you can order a combination
pack of both signs for $24.95 (includes shipping and handling). A
portion of the proceeds goes directly to NRA-ILA to assist our efforts
to protect, preserve, and strengthen our Second Amendment rights!
By proudly displaying your NRA yard sign, and showing your support for
the Second Amendment, you will greatly enhance our ability to deliver
victory for pro-gun candidates on November 7!
Please call (866) 869-6389 or visit www.nrailasigns.org to order your
NRA yard signs TODAY!

LOUISIANA
On Tuesday, the Senate Judiciary "C" Committee reported out two
NRA-supported bills: HB 89 by Representative Eric LaFleur (D-38) & Don
Cazayoux (D-18), the "Castle Doctrine" bill creates presumptions in law
for the use of force against intruders in your home, car, or place of
business and explicitly states in law that you have no "duty to retreat"
from criminal attack if you are in a place where you have a legal right
to be; and HB 760 by Representative Steve Scalise (R-82), that prohibits
the confiscation of firearms from law-abiding citizens during a future
state of emergency or natural disaster. These bills now move to the
full Senate for consideration. Please contact your State Senators and
urge them to support HB 89 and HB 760. To contact your State Senator,
call the PULS line at (225) 342-2456 (from the Baton Rouge area) or
(800) 256-3793 (outside the Baton Rouge area).
MASSACHUSETTS
Important pro-gun legislation, H.4552, sponsored by Representative Frank
Hynes (D-Plymouth-4) has passed the House and has been stuck in the
Senate since February. Anti-gun advocates have been heavily lobbying
the office of Senate President Robert Travaglini (D-First Suffolk,
Middlesex) in an attempt to water down the bill with amendments.
H.4552, "An Act Protecting the Rights of Target Shooters," would do the
following: create a new definition in Section 121, Chapter 140 for
"Single Action Revolver," using the same language taken from the
identical exception passed in California; exempt certain "Single Action
Revolvers" and precision target handguns, "any firearm solely designed
and sold specifically for formal target shooting competition," from the
testing requirements in Section 123 of Chapter 140; and place in a
statute the language already passed in 1998 that exempts "any firearm
lawfully owned or possessed under a license issued under said Chaper 140
on or before October 21, 1998." Your action is critical in protecting
the Second Amendment Rights of Massachusetts' gun owners! Please
contact Senate President Travaglini today at (617) 722-1500 or email
[email protected] and ask him to move the bill forward
without any amendments!
MICHIGAN
On May 16, SB 1046, "Castle Doctrine" legislation sponsored by Senator
Alan Cropsey (R-33), is scheduled to be heard by the Senate Judiciary
Committee. This legislation will help the citizens of Michigan in two
important ways: first, it protects your right to self-defense, and
ensures you do not have a "duty to retreat" from a violent attacker; and
second, it gives immunity from criminal prosecution and civil action for
the use of such force. Please call the Senate Judiciary Committee at
(517) 373-3760 and respectfully ask them to support SB 1046. Also,
NRA-ILA Election Volunteer Coordinator Jerry Kraus (MI-9) would like to
invite you to attend the "Michigan Celebrity Shoot" that is being
organized by the Oakland County Friends of the NRA. Celebrities that
attended last year included Dennis Hextal of the Detroit Red Wings;
Mickey Lolitch of the Detroit Tigers; State Senator Nancy Cassis
(R-Mich.-15); Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard, wh is running
against Senator Debbie Stabenow (D) for the U.S. Senate; among others!
Jerry has coordinated several events and participated in several
Celebrity Shoots in the past, and this year's event promises to be a
success. So come on out and join your fellow shotgun shooters and
celebrities for a day of shooting, while raising money for the Friends
of the NRA! The event will be held on Saturday, June 24, at 10:30 a.m.,
at the Detroit Gun Club, 2775 Oakley Park Road, Walled Lake, MI 48390.
Admission prices vary and advance tickets are required. For ticket

MISSOURI
The Missouri General Assembly session is getting ready to adjourn for
the year and the Senate has yet to take action on HB 1461, the
critically important "Castle Doctrine" reform bill. HB 1461, introduced
by Representative Marilyn Ruestman (R-131), protects your right to
self-defense and ensure Missourians do not have a "duty to retreat" from
a violent attacker. Please contact Senate President Michael Gibbons at
(573) 751-2853 and politely request HB 1461 receive a full floor vote
this week! Also, please respectfully remind Senator Gibbons that
without this important protection, innocent crime victims in Missouri
can be sued by their violent attacker for defending themselves and their
family! Please be sure to have your family, friends, and fellow Second
Amendment supporters call Senator Gibbons as well.

Right-to-Carry law by creating statewide preemption for the regulation
of firearms and ammunition--thereby avoiding the current patchwork of
firearm laws in Ohio. HB 347 will also fix the most common complaint
heard from the more than 60,000 Right-to-Carry license holders--the
"plain sight" requirement for a firearm in a motor vehicle. If you're

SOUTH CAROLINA
H 3402 is headed for Governor Sanford's (R) desk. This legislation
would allow the formation of a sportsmen's caucus, putting South
Carolina in the position of becoming the 29th state to establish a state
legislative sportsmen's caucus. Special thanks go to State
Representative Mike Pitts (R-14), who introduced this legislation and
worked to shepherd it through the General Assembly.
WASHINGTON
The Bellingham City Council is considering an ordinance that would
prohibit the discharge of firearms at indoor shooting ranges in the
City. According to the language of the ordinance, the City Council is
of the opinion that indoor shooting ranges "pose potential dangers to
the health, safety and welfare of the community." This is an outrageous
claim--enclosed shooting ranges pose no danger to the community! This
proposed ordinance is nothing more than an attack on the rights of
Bellingham shooters by the Police Chief and City Council. This proposed
ordinance also appears to be an obvious violation of Washington State
Law. Section 9.41.300(2) of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) allows
cities to restrict the discharge of firearms only "where there is a
reasonable likelihood that humans, domestic animals or property will be
jeopardized." The City Council has already quietly held a public
hearing on this proposal and has cast a reliminary vote to pass the
ordinance. The final hearing will be held at the City Council meeting
held at 210 Lottie Street, on Monday, May 15, at 7:00 p.m. This will be
the final opportunity for NRA members, shooters, and firearm owners to
make their voices heard. Mark your calendars for Monday, May 15, at
7:00 p.m. For more information, please visit:
www.cob.org/council/index.htm. If you are unable to attend the meeting,
please contact the Bellingham City Council at (360) 676-6970 or via
e-mail at
[email protected]. To view the language of the ordinance,

Do not forget to attend this meeting and help r otect the Second
Amendment rights of Bellingham City shooters! Please forward this
e-mail to your fellow firearm owners!
Have A Happy Mother's Day!
