New Hampshire Bill Would Prohibit "Emergency" Firearm Confiscation: In 
response to the illegal seizure of firearms in New Orleans, following 
Hurricane Katrina, House Bill 1639-FN, would prohibit the confiscation 
of lawfully owned and lawfully carried firearms during a state of 
emergency, making a felon of any law enforcement officer who attempts to 
seize such a firearm during a disaster.

Bloomberg vs. NRA: NYC Mayor Bloomberg appears to be seeking alliances 
with other big-city mayors in an effort to restrict firearm sales in 
other states. Bloomberg has a large personal fortune he could use in 
this crusade.

California Justice?: A California woman, carrying a handgun in her purse 
on an exemption from the permit requirement based on the fact that she 
had obtained a restraining order against her estranged husband, is now 
facing charges. She forgot the purse at a grocery-store counter and has 
learned the hard way that the restraining order expired last June. (Rule 
Five: Maintain control of your firearm.)

Oops, Wrong House: One of two teenage burglars was hospitalized with 
multiple gunshot wounds to the leg after he and his accomplice kicked in 
the door of the bedroom of a man in a wheelchair. (Note the multiple 
wounds in one leg, suggesting typical anticipation or jerking of the 
shots low and to the non-dominant side.)

Teddy Jacobson On Weapon Selection: The uninhibited gunsmith from Sugar 
Land shares some views on the selection of defensive firearms. (A while 
back I purchased an SP101 as a teaching gun and found that it required a 
significant amount of work, as well as a reduced-power main spring, in 
order to fill that role.)

O Canada!: The latest argument against the private ownership of handguns 
is that gun collectors are being targeted for thefts by Toronto gang 
members (just one more "advantage" of registration). Conspicuously 
absent from the article is that fact that Mike Hargreaves, a director of 
the International Association of Law Enforcement Firearms Instructors, 
is a former police officer. (I have seen a photo of the burgled 
1,700-pound safe from which his firearms were stolen - it would be hard 
to argue negligence on his part.)

Non Sequitur From Japan: An article that leads off with a campaign to 
ban private ownership of firearms in Argentina transitions into a 
package of misinformation about the meaning of the Second Amendment and 
the risks of firearm ownership in the US.
