Virginia Committee Votes to Repeal One-Gun-a-Month: A House committee on
Friday overwhelmingly approved a bill that would repeal Virginia's
17-year-old ban on buying more than one handgun per month. Del. L. Scott
Lingamfelter, the bill's sponsor, told the panel Friday morning that the
law is obsolete because the General Assembly has carved out so many
exceptions to it already, including a provision that exempts more than
200,000 people who hold concealed-weapons permits. He also argued that
instant electronic background checks - which were not in place when the
law was enacted in 1993 - also make the law unnecessary. And he said
that the law has only hampered law-abiding citizens interested in buying
guns and has done nothing to combat illegal trafficking in weapons...
But Andrew Goddard, a gun-control activist whose child was injured in
the 2007 shooting rampage at Virginia Tech, told the panel that the law
had been credited with reducing Virginia's role in illegal
gun-trafficking on the East Coast, a conduit once known as the Iron
Pipeline. Before the law became former Gov. Douglas Wilder's signature
achievement, Virginia ranked first in illegal guns moving to urban areas
in the East. Afterward, Goddard said, it dropped to sixth... (Federal
law requires that dealers report the purchase of more than one handgun
by one person in the course of five business days.)

Why Georgia Must Repeal Public-Gathering Law: According to the Ledger
Enquirer, a carjacker struck in a Columbus church parking lot Tuesday
afternoon, stealing a car at gunpoint and firing a shot at the victim.
While crime stories are not usually fodder for this column, it is worth
remembering that Georgia is one of only five states that categorically
ban firearms in churches. Georgia's ban extends to "church functions" as
well, even if they are not held at a church building. Additionally,
Georgia's public gathering law bans firearms even from the church
parking lot. As the Georgia Court ot Appeals stated in Hubbard v.
State, 210 Ga. App. 141 (1993), in response to the defendant's argument
that he did not carry his firearm inside the building but merely
possessed it in the car: : . . . we have held that the offense of
carrying a firearm at a public gathering may occur in a parking area on
the grounds of and in close proximity to a public gathering." The odd
thing here is that anybody still believes that Georgia's public
gathering law improves public safety. The law leaves people defenseless
at churches, synagogues, and mosques, as well as their parking lots.
Criminals are unhindered by such laws, preferring instead to perceive
gun bans as making their job less risky by providing fertile fields of
disarmed people to victimize...

Politics Makes Strange Shooting Partners: Gun owners and hunters often
feel as though the only time some politicians know where they are is
during election season. There can be no better example of this than the
following Republican campaign fundraiser announcement: "Please join
Justice Maureen O'Connor and Justice Judith Ann Lanzinger for a Pheasant
& Quail Hunt hosted by Rocky Saxbe..." ...But here's the rub. While
Justice O'Connor is pro-gun, and a long-time friend of this PAC, the
same cannot be said for the other Republican candidate involved in this
fundraiser, nor can it be said of the event host. In Ohioans for
Concealed Carry v. City of Clyde, Justice Lanzinger joined the minority
opinion and voted against gun owners. In that case, Lanzinger put her
name on an opinion which compared the Constitutional right to
self-defense/gun ownership to that of the rights of dog owners or
beer-drinkers, propped up the notion that government should have the
same rights as an individual citizen, and supported the conclusion that
gun owners are a threat to society. A little over one year after signing
onto that anti-gun opinion, however, it is election season. And what do
you know? Justice Lanzinger seems to have found a new respect for gun
owners...or at least, for their pocketbooks...

RKBA Opponent Announces Ohio Candidacy: Less than two weeks after the
Ohio Democrat Party leaders, and Governor Ted Strickland, announced they
would not support the candidacy of Jennifer Garrison for Secretary of
State due to concerns about her support for gun rights, among other
issues, the Democrats' anti-gun replacement, Maryellen O'Shaughnessy,
has officially announced her candidacy for the office. To fully
understand the level of O'Shaughnessy's opposition to gun rights, one
need only to go back to late 2006. In November of that year, the Ohio
General Assembly voted to pass HB347, legislation designed to ensure
uniformity of firearms laws in the state of Ohio, by an overwhelming
margin. Despite its level of support, Republican Governor Bob Taft
vetoed the legislation, forcing the General Assembly to return and
override his veto in mid-December. Five days after the veto override,
O'Shaughnessy, then a city councilwoman, appeared on Capitol Square, an
Ohio News Network (ONN panel show hosted by John Fortney, to voice the
city's displeasure with passage of the law, which rendered they City of
Columbus' assault weapons ban defunct...

West Virginia Could Pass "Bloomberg Bill": Senate Judiciary Chairman
Jeffrey Kessler hopes to send a strong message to the Big Apple and any
others outside West Virginia: Hands off when it comes to entrapping
residents with illegal firearms purchases. In fact, he dubbed his
proposed new legislation Tuesday "the Bloomberg bill" after the New York
mayor and his zest for rounding up guns. "They've been sending folks
across state lines, outside the jurisdiction of his city, so I call it
an entrapment bill," Kessler said. "Basically, it would make it a felony
for them come out and try to purchase guns illegally in the state of
West Virginia." Actually, the measure goes far beyond New York, he
noted, since it is tailored to cover all states... Kessler said the
issue was raised with him by the National Rifle Association, which
conveyed a concern that some anti-gun municipalities might attempt to
extend the arm of their laws into West Virginia...

West Virginia Bill Would Impose Range Fees: Earlier this week, Senator
John Pat Fanning, D-McDowell, and Senate Majority Leader H. Truman
Chafin, D-Mingo, introduced Senate Bill 516, which imposes a permit
requirement to use a public shooting range. SB 516 requires anyone other
than a licensed hunter or person exempt from the requirement of a
license to hunt, to obtain a permit to use any public shooting range
operated by the Division of Natural Resources. Funds generated by this
bill would be used to create additional public shooting ranges and
maintain and improve existing public shooting ranges. So far, so what?
However, the kicker (to many gun owners' groins) is that SB 516 proposes
charging an annual fee of $50 for residents and $150 residents for
public shooting range permits! These exorbitant permitting fees will
reduce the use of public shooting ranges and not raise the funds
anticipated or required to fulfill this bill's intent. While WVCDL
opposes charging fees for using public shooting ranges that are funded
by our tax dollars and various DNR licensing fees, the fees proposed in
SB 516 are outrageous! ...

Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Imposes Massive Gun Ban: ...In recent
years, the U.S. Forest Service and the AGFC have entered into a
"Memorandum Of Cooperation" between the two agencies. Under this
agreement, the AGFC has agreed to "manage" the enormous 1.2 million
acres of the Ozark National Forest with Wildlife Management Area
regulations. In an email from the law enforcement department from the
AGFC, a representative stated the Ozark National Forest is "considered
WMA, whether it is White Rock, Piney, Sylamore, Mt. Magazine, or Ozark
National Forest WMA." "It shall be unlawful to hunt, trap or possess a
killing device in any wildlife management area." Using this agreement
and Wildlife Management Area regulations, the AGFC is enacting a
Chicago-style gun ban in the Ozark National Forest, an enormous area
that encompasses 1.2 million acres of the state. In addition, the entire
WMA system covers almost 3.2 million acres total! The pertinent
regulation, AGFC Wildlife code 20.01, reads: "It shall be unlawful to
hunt, trap or possess a killing device in any wildlife management area."
Recently, the Game and Fish Commission used these WMA regulations to
infringe upon individual gun rights. Arkansas Carry, a gun rights group,
planned an "open carry hike" to educate the public about open carry and
the journey law. When the group informed the U.S. Forest Service of
their intentions, they were told all firearms were banned from the White
Rock WMA where the hike was planned (it's important to note here the
White Rock WMA web page says one of the management practices consists of
"more intensive law enforcement efforts")...

Mississippi Senate Votes to Ease Infringements: Mississippi senators
voted Wednesday to join Tennessee in allowing handgun-permit holders to
carry their guns in most Mississippi parks, as well as restaurants and
other locations. The National Rifle Association-backed legislation,
sponsored by state Sen. Merle Flowers, R-Southaven, originally covered
only parks but was amended to let permit holders carry their guns in
restaurants, bars and unsecured government buildings unless the owners
of those facilities post notices barring guns. The measure now goes to
the House and would have to be signed into law by Republican Gov. Haley
Barbour if it passes the Legislature... Permit holders in Tennessee also
would be allowed to carry their weapons in DeSoto County and other
Mississippi state and local parks, restaurants and government buildings.
However, Flowers said the bill prohibits weapons by anyone in parks
where youth sports are played. That limitation would prohibit guns in
many local parks, such as Southaven's Snowden Grove. Also, businesses
and employers can ban handguns from inside their offices, but not in
parking lots. And under existing state law, guns cannot be carried on
school property or at any sporting events, including those held in
parks, Flowers said... (Note that this Tennessee paper has posted the
database of Handgun Carry Permits and linked it to this article.)

Wyoming House Approves Permitless CCW: Wyoming residents could carry
concealed guns without a state permit under a bill that advanced in the
Legislature on Thursday with a 52-6 vote in the House of
Representatives. Under existing Wyoming law, people must obtain a
state-issued permit to carry a concealed weapon. The state requires
training and background checks and has issued more than 10,000 of the
permits. Forty-eight states allow people to carry concealed weapons and
all but Alaska and Vermont require permits. Legislation is pending in
Arizona that would allow people to carry concealed guns without a
permit. Rep. Lorraine Quarberg, R-Thermopolis, is the main sponsor of
House Bill 113. It now heads to the House Judiciary Committee... Rep.
James W. Byrd, D-Cheyenne, was among those who voted against the bill.
"I think it's a terrible idea," Byrd said after the House vote. "First
of all, it adds another level of danger to our peace officers who are
the front line in the field. It ties their hands in determining whether
or not an individual is lawfully carrying a weapon or not. In Wyoming,
we have a special case where we have officers who are really out on
their own, and don't have the luxury of having backup with them at all
times, Byrd said. (But it's okay for Wyoming's private citizens not to
have backup at all times. When seconds count, the police are only
minutes away.)

Wisconsin Gun Owners Warned of Trojan Horse: A recent editorial
appearing in the Wisconsin Journal Sentinel (It's time to reconsider
concealed carry law) ought to alarm gun owners. That's because it
underscores a push to create tougher gun laws by using concealed carry
as a carrot to lure in and dupe activists into complacency and
surrender, say leaders of Wisconsin Gun Owners (WGO). "We've been
warning gun owners to prepare for a tough fight on concealed carry, and
to expect marginal state republicans to cave in to pressure from
anti-gun bureaucrats," said Corey Graff, executive director of WGO. "If
liberals suddenly claim to support concealed carry in exchange for
tougher gun laws you can bet gun owners stand more to lose than we do to
gain. You know something's amiss." One of the bargaining chips up for
grabs is to make carrying a concealed weapon a felony in Wisconsin, in
exchange for passage of a permit bill. It is currently a misdemeanor...

Arizona House Passes Firearms Freedom Act: The state House voted
Thursday to let Arizonans buy guns without the government knowing - but
only if the weapons are manufactured in this state. Without debate,
lawmakers gave preliminary approval to HB 2307, saying Arizona-made
firearms and ammunition are subject only to state laws, and not to
federal regulation, including registration. That is precisely what Rep.
Nancy McLain, R-Bullhead City, wants. "If we have someone that takes
office that is intent on confiscating guns, then all they do is go to
the registration and say, 'This person at this address has a gun,' and
we'll go get it from you," she said. What her measure also would do is
exempt those who buy Arizona-made guns from any sort of background
check. But McLain said that wasn't her intent. And she promised to have
the legislation fixed when it goes to the Senate following a roll-call
vote in the House... (Once again, Howard Fischer proves that however
good an impression he does of a rectum, he's not a big enough one to
release the hold on his head. What a distortion!)

Colorado Firearms Freedom Act Killed in Committee: A Republican lawmaker
is outraged that Democrats killed a bill that would have declared that
any firearms made and retained in Colorado are beyond the control of
Congress. Sen. Dave Schultheis, R-Colorado Springs, said the bill was
about state's rights, not so much about firearms. He believes it is
necessary to challenge the federal government's "overreach into what our
founding fathers deemed as state issues." "It is time to challenge the
D.C. bureaucrats who regulate everything and anything under the guise of
commerce," Schultheis said in a statement. "I had hoped Democrat
legislators in Colorado would have the courage to stand up for our
state." The bill was killed late Wednesday on a 3-2 party-line vote in
the Senate State, Veterans & Military Affairs Committee. Democrats
called the bill "unconstitutional." ... (Is the Tenth Amendment
unconstitutional? These bills may not prevail, in part because it may
not be possible to manufacture a firearm without some components that
have traveled in interstate commerce, but that does not make them
unconstitutional. That's the whole point - Congress has abused the
interstate commerce clause and ignores the Tenth Amendment, which is
part of the Constitution.)

Documents Confirm Austin Gun Show Given Ultimatum: When we last
discussed the Texas Gun Shows situation, attorney Jerri Lynn Ward had
been temporarily stalled in her Open Records Request to the Austin
Police Department for "any and all documents, notes correspondence,
summaries, worksheets, memoranda, and/or assignment sheets e-mails and
video or audio recordings," when they instead sent her this notice:
"[T]he department wishes to withhold some of the requested information
and has asked for a decision from the Attorney General about whether the
information is within an exception to public disclosure." ...First off,
that they tried to not comply right off the bat is telling. That they
didn't have a legal leg to stand on is as well... They take pains to
establish "plausible deniability" from the outset: "...once again, these
are just recommendations not directives." But then we have this brick
wall for the promoter: "The end result of the meeting was that HEB and
Andy made it clear to Boedecker that they would only allow gun shows to
continue if Boedecker followed our three recommendations... HEB reps
made it clear that if we observe that they are NOT complying with these
recommendations we should let them know and they are going to terminate
all future gun shows rather than risk liability on their part." So APD
recommends, observes and informs, and HEB pulls the trigger. Is that
what they call a "public/private partnership"? And what "risk liability"
was HEB informed of and by whom? ... Attorney Ward tells me she has a
video of the meeting, and I'll see what I need to do to bring it to you.
Perhaps, along with the telephone conversations mentioned in the cover
letter, we'll learn more, and fill in some of the gaps in this response.
Stay tuned.

The Seattle Bus-Tunnel Incident: By now, the whole country has seen the
brutal bus tunnel beating of a teenage girl that has every talk jock in
Seattle gainfully employed and has even made national headlines on Fox
News' O'Reilly Factor and Hannity programs... The so-called "security
guards" didn't intervene, and just stood by essentially as spectators.
Allegedly, prior to the attack the 15-year-old victim had sought help
from two Seattle police officers, and was essentially ignored, according
to published reports. That girl also allegedly pepper sprayed one of the
men about 30 minutes prior to the attack. What could a private citizen
have done in the presence of such an attack? The applicable state
statute is RCW 9A.16.020, which covers use of force other than lethal
force. Under that statute, Paragraph (3), the use of force is legal
"Whenever used by a party about to be injured, or by another lawfully
aiding him or her, in preventing or attempting to prevent an offense
against his or her person, or a malicious trespass, or other malicious
interference with real or personal property lawfully in his or her
possession, in case the force is not more than is necessary." ...
(Workman goes on to discuss the gray area over not using more force than
necessary.)

Starbucks Also Serves Mush: This is the reply I received to my comment
form thanking Starbucks for not knuckling to demands that they ban
firearms in their stores:
Hello Stephen,
Thanks for contacting Starbucks Coffee Company.
For Starbucks, the safety of our customers and partners is a
paramount concern. We have existing security protocols in place to
handle situations related to safety in our stores. We will continue
to adhere closely to local, state and federal laws and the counsel
of law enforcement regarding this issue.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective.
Sounds like a generic response to anyone who is requesting a weapons
ban. Why do I get the impression that Starbucks does not allow their own
employees to be armed? Oh well, at least they're doing the right thing
with regard to the public.

Amazing Story: I was shot point blank in the chest Friday the 13th of
July 2007, the bullet entered near the front edge of my left armpit
about 4 in. to the left of my left nipple and about 2 in above it. The
bullet traveled through my left lung destroying about 30% of it then the
bullet nicked my aorta and heart sack it then ricocheted of of the
inside front of my ribcage. It then tore through my diaphragm leaving a
3 in by 2 in hole in my diaphragm. From there it tore through my stomach
destroying 3 acid ducts and causing me to lose about 20% of my stomach.
From there the bullet nicked my liver and spleen then it traveled
through the back third of my spinal cord canal from about the middle of
T11 on my left side to about the middle of T12 where it exited my spinal
canal and traveled about another inch to my right parallel with the skin
of my back and came to rest. The bullet was a Speer Gold dot 9mm that
was fired from a Glock model 17... (Note that this shooting was the
result of criminal negligence by a colleague.)

"Gun Control," the Mexican Experience: We read with horror about yet
another mass slaughter in our Mexican border city, Juarez, on the last
day of January when 18 young persons were killed in cold blood at a
festive event. This story is now being repeated all over Mexico,
particularly in the northern tier of states. There is a terrible irony
about the current wave of deaths occurring from out-of-control
shootings, many with fully automatic weapons. The principle irony is
this. To my knowledge, Mexico has the toughest gun control laws in the
Western Hemisphere... Private ownership of firearms was restricted by
Mexican government authorities after the wind down of the Mexican
Revolution in 1924. This was an attempt to quell any further uprisings,
particularly in the northern Mexican states. This was unlike private gun
ownership in the United States, which permitted both North and South
Civil War veterans to keep their firearms. Tens of thousands of weapons
were retained by Civil War veterans and are still in private and museum
collections today. Firearms, however, were and are widely held by
Mexican law enforcement agencies, some of which are corrupt, including
Municipal Police, State Police, Federal law enforcement and the Mexican
Military. In our travels in Mexico, my family felt not threatened by the
general populace, although there were plenty of bad guys, particularly
in southern Mexico, but fear and caution were associated with Mexican
enforcement entities armed to the teeth, which controlled road blocks
all over the Republic sometimes demanding bribes for safe passage...

Army Selects Scapegoats for Ft. Hood Massacre: The military will
formally discipline at least six officers, mostly from Walter Reed Army
Medical Center in Washington, for failing to take action against the
officer accused of carrying out last year's deadly shooting rampage at
Fort Hood, according to people familiar with the matter. Senior Army
officials said the decision to punish so many officers reflects the
military's belief that the November assault, which killed 13 people at
the Army base in central Texas, could have been prevented if Maj. Nidal
Hasan's superiors had alerted authorities to his increasing Islamist
radicalization. The officials said that as many as eight officers could
ultimately be censured over Maj. Hasan, mostly with letters of reprimand
that effectively end their military careers. The punishments will be
detailed in an "accountability review" that Army Gen. Carter Ham, who
has been investigating the shootings for several months, will deliver to
top Army officials as early as Friday... (Not surprisingly, there is no
mention of the political correctness that, prior to the massacre, would
likely have harmed the careers of the scapegoats had they made such
reports and, more to the point, the policy that rendered Hasan's victims
defenseless.)

Tangentially Related: Academics have attacked a decision by a top
university to scrap research into English history before 1700. It was
claimed that the move by Sussex University risked jeopardising the
nation's understanding of the subject and "entrenching the ignorance of
the present". Under plans, research and in-depth teaching into periods
such as the Tudors, the Middle-Ages, Norman Britain, the Viking invasion
and the Anglo-Saxons will be scrapped, along with the Civil Wars. The
university will also end research into the history of continental Europe
pre-1900, affecting the study of the Napoleonic wars and the Roman
Empire. The university said it was "reshaping" its curriculum and
research following a �3m cut in Government funding... (Recall that the
origins of the struggle for American independence stemmed for the
colonists' attempts to regain the traditional rights of Englishmen.)

A state board of only 15 people will vote on whether to revise U.S.
textbooks to omit references to Daniel Boone, Gen. George Patton, Nathan
Hale, Columbus Day and Christmas. The Texas State Board of Education
will also vote on a proposal to substitute the term "American" with
"global citizen." Mathew Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty
Counsel, is warning Americans to speak up before only eight people, with
a majority vote, have a chance to literally rewrite American history. He
appeared on the "Huckabee Show" to explain why the board's vote matters
to the rest of America. Staver said Texas and California are the two
largest textbook purchasers in the nation. "Whatever textbooks they
select affect the rest of the country because publishers publish those
kinds of books, and the rest of the country follows," he said. But
because of California's budget crisis, the state hasn't been able to
purchase as many new textbooks, he explained. So the default is Texas...
