Indiana Adjusts To Lifetime Permits: A new state law that allows
Hoosiers to seek a lifetime permit to carry a handgun - rather than
reapplying every four years - could mean more work for local law
enforcement to ensure that future criminals don't slip through the
cracks. (Of course, felons would not dream of carrying a firearm without
a permit.)

US Pledges Guns For Afghan Army: Defense Minister Abdul Rahim Wardak
said about 200 Humvees and 2,000 assault rifles - the first part of the
donation - will be arriving by year's end. A total of 2,500 Humvees and

Hand In Hand With The UN?: "The Lugar-Obama bill will build on this
success by helping other nations find and eliminate conventional weapons
that have been used against our own soldiers in Iraq and sought by
terrorists all over the world," said Obama. "We are convinced that the
United States can and should do more to eliminate conventional weapons
stockpiles and assist other nations in detecting and interdicting
weapons of mass destruction. We believe that these functions are
underfunded, fragmented and in need of high-level support," Lugar said.
