Trial Soon Over Wyoming CFP Dispute: Arguments are scheduled next month
in a case in which Wyoming is seeking a federal court ruling affirming
its authority to help some people convicted of misdemeanor domestic
violence regain their right to own a firearm. BATFE has ruled that a
Wyoming CFP does not qualify for a NICS exemption because the Wyoming
procedure for expunction of a first conviction for domestic violence
fails to meet the legal standard.

Burglars Steal Gun Safe: Burglars in Indiana made off with a 400-pound
gun safe containing at least 15 firearms. (In my experience, 400 pounds
is about what one person can move with a conventional dolly. Lighter
safes should be bolted in place. Safes are merely one layer of a
security system; dogs and alarm systems can be other layers that will
deny burglars the time to open or carry a safe.)
