" http://www.wisinfo.com/journal/ --- Wisconsin CCW - Interesting Sidelight: Somewhat meandering commentary deals with the need for cabdrivers to be able to carry and the hypocrisy of a couple of municipal prohibitionists. http://badgerherald.com/oped/2005/11/22/state_should_allow_c.php --- Safety Reminders: Two accounts of different people who appear to have violated some safety rules. http://www.northjersey.com/page.php?qstr=eXJpcnk3ZjczN2Y3dnFlZUVFeXk0NSZmZ2JlbDdmN3ZxZWVFRXl5NjgyMDUxOCZ5cmlyeTdmNzE3Zjd2cWVlRUV5eTM= http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/21/AR2005112100996.html --- Becoming An Outdoors Woman: Article profiles a program in California that teaches women the skills of outdoor sports.

Note that the homeowner switched from verbal warning to gunfire when the intruder attempted to go upstairs. In most two-story homes, the upstairs contains the living quarters and an intruder who moves in that direction is not likely looking for the family silver. http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=local&id=3656088 --- Not The Best Tactics: A Georgia man confronted two nighttime burglars in his yard, then asked his wife to get their handgun, to discourage one from leaving. While it would have been wiser to allow police to deal with a property crime that posed no immediate threat to life or limb, it made even less sense for the man to confront the burglars unarmed. http://www.walb.com/Global/story.asp?S=4149449&nav=5kZQ --- Bringing A Bat To A Gunfight: An Alabama motorist made a deadly mistake when he threatened the other driver with a baseball bat, following a traffic accident.

The latest seems to be wrapping up 1911 issues and moving onto other pistols. (If you have interests in specific handguns, check his archives for some of his earlier commentaries. I don't believe that Teddy is the ultimate source but his opinions are at leas worth the effort to disprove.) http://actionsbyt.blogspot.com/2005/11/fact-vs-bs-part-5.html --- Scotland's Top Cop Wants Most Officers To Remain Unarmed: The British mentality seems to remain in control in the wake of the shooting death of one female officer and the wounding of another. http://www.wsfa.com/Global/story.asp?S=4150420&nav=0RdE --- The Hidden Element Emerges In Canadian Gun Crimes: It appears that the disproportionate amount of firearm-related crime in Toronto may be related to something about the city's demographics. http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1132613411839&call_pageid=968256290204&col=968350116795 --- Registration Leads To Confiscation: South African firearm owners are being threatened with arrest and confiscation if they fail to renew their licenses yet authorities have been dragging their feet with the renewal applications. http://www.news24.com/News24/South_Africa/News/0,,2-7-1442_1838150,00.html -- Stephen P.
