Demand Grows For Utah CFP's: Utah has something that people from all
over the country and Canada are clamoring for. Is it ski resort passes?
Salt water taffy? No, it's Utah's concealed firearm permits. Statistics
show in 2004 there were 8,147 permit applications. This year, BCI
officials estimate the applications could go beyond 16,000, straining
the resources of a program that hasn't seen a budget increase since it
was implemented more than a decade ago.

Good Point, Sarah: In eulogizing her fellow opponent of legal CCW, Sarah
Brady recalls, "I remember one special speech Governor Richards was
giving when she was addressing the issue of whether women should get
permits to carry concealed weapons. She grabbed one of her many purses
and reached inside it in front of the audience. She took out a comb, she
took out a brush, she took out a compact, she took out a wallet. And
then she said 'how in heck do people think I'm going to find a gun in
there if I need it to defend myself?'" (That's why we use holsters.)

Range Mentality: Bart Skelton (son of the late Skeeter Skelton) defends
the choice of a single-action revolver for self-defense. While the
bullet is just as deadly if it exits the barrel of a single-action or a
double-action revolver, the presumption that you will have two hands
available to work the gun in a fight is a risky one. Then there's the
question of reloading the thing...

New Arizona Gun Laws Take Effect Thursday: With the exception of the
expansion of Arizona's stand-your-ground doctrine, which took effect
upon the governor's signature, the remaining laws affecting gun owners
take effect Thursday. Article fails to mention that one new law
strengthens the language about public facilities being required to
provide on-site, readily retrievable storage if they choose to ban
weapons and that this requirement now includes state facilities.

Too Much Time On Their Hands: With all the crime-fighting that the folks
with a Bad Attitude Toward Freedom and Expression claim to do, they have
found time to try to regulate a pellet gun that uses a primer, instead
of compressed air or carbon dioxide, to propel the pellet down the barrel.

monolith BAE Systems has decided to improve its whale-hugging
credentials by developing a range of next-generation,
environmentally-friendly weapons designed to be friendlier to Mother
Earth. Included in the list of tree-hugging hardware is the "lead-free"

Self-Defense = Hooliganism In Russia: A 70-year old Jew is being charged
with "hooliganism" after shooting an attacker in self-defense, according
to a September 7, 2006 report in the national daily Moskovsky
Komsomolets. Fearing that his assailant was reaching for a weapon, the
man shot him with a gas-powered pistol (a non-lethal weapon commonly
used in Russia for self-defense).
