Pennsylvania May Not Honor Non-Resident Permits: It is being reported
that Pennsylvania may not be honoring non-resident Concealed Handgun
Licenses any longer. As Ohio does not have reciprocity with our neighbor
to the east, many CHL holders (including this author) has received a New
Hampshire or other non-resident license that allows us to carry in PA.

Open-Carry Case Dismissed In Ohio: ...You may recall that on May 30,
2006, Mr. Sayers was open carrying two handguns while patronizing a
Sunoco gas station. He paid for his purchase, cleaned his windshield,
and checked the oil level in his car. At some point during this
activity, a "concerned citizen" took it upon himself/herself to jump to
wrong conclusions and call 911 to report a "man with a gun" even though
Mr. Sayers had not done anything threatening or menacing...(This is one
reason that many of us consider CCW to be a wiser tactical option than
open carry.)

University Of Utah Still Seeks Firearm Limits: A University of Utah task
force formed to examine campus security initially will focus on policies
prohibiting guns in hearing rooms and restricting
concealed-weapons-permit holders in dorms...U. President Michael Young
proposed the 12-member, cross-campus task force after this year's
Legislature passed a law that allowed concealed-weapons carriers to
bring guns on campus, but allowed students to select non-carrier
roommates in campus dorms. In exchange, the U., which had previously
lost a case in the Utah Supreme Court to ban guns from campus, dropped a
pending federal lawsuit.

Texas Man Cleared In Bus Shooting: The deadly shooting of an unarmed man
on a Metro bus two months ago was justified, a prosecutor said after a
grand jury declined to indict the shooter, because the man appeared to
be a threat. But the man's family said the recent decision to drop the
murder charge was an "outrage." (Note the reference to the disparity in
the size of the two men - it's not clear if this was cited as a legal
issue, disparity of force, which could justify deadly force against an
unarmed assailant.)

History Of Gun Control, Part 1: Sandra Froman uses her weekly column to
reprise the exposure of Michael Bellesiles' fraudulent Arming America by
Clayton Cramer (author of Armed America) and goes on to date the
beginning of American restrictions on the RKBA to New York's Sullivan
Act, in 1911. (Having read Armed America, I would say that restriction
and regulation of the RKBA go back much earlier.)
