Bill Would Make Wyoming Permit-Optional: A bill will be introduced in 
the Wyoming legislature to remove the requirement for a permit for 
in-state CCW; permits would remain available for those who need them for 
reciprocity elsewhere. Another bill would remove any duty to retreat 
before using force against an assailant.

NRA Deals With San Francisco On Handgun Ban: In a move that is supposed 
to speed up litigation of the legality of San Francisco's voter-enacted 
ban on privately owned handguns, the NRA has agreed to drop its attempt

MTV Documentary To Focus On Gun Owners: In its attempt to claim 
objectivity, program will feature a convicted felon, a gang member, a 
hunter and one self-defense advocate. (I guess that the difference

of a felony.)

Another Lead Oscar:  A man who tried to rob an Idaho smoke shop with a 
pellet pistol pistol received ten rounds of .40 S&W for his efforts. (I 
suspect that the reason that the clerk shot the robber ten times is that 
there were only ten rounds in his pistol.)

More Details Would Be Nice: A deputy sheriff in Pennsylvania experienced 
an unintentional discharge of a handgun in his pocket while waiting in 
line at a Taco Bell. Two customers appear to have received minor 
injuries from ricocheting bullet fragments and the deputy appears to 
have been wounded in the leg. (I'd be willing to bet that the gun was 
not in a pocket holster.)
