Kansas Out-Of-State Permit Recognition Official: The latest update of 
the Kansas attorney general's website specifies that holders of the 
concealed carry permits or licenses recognized by Kansas must be 
residents of the states in which they are issued. (This ruling, by a new 
Democratic office-holder, appears to contradict the language of the 
actual statute.)

Fixes to No-Fly List Don't Work: Article focuses on an American Airlines 
pilot who has been stopped about 80 times since 2003, apparently because 
his name and birth date nearly match those of an Irish Republican Army 
leader, one of at least 300,000 names on the U.S. government's watch 
lists. (Recall that Democratic leaders in Congress have previously 
proposed using such lists to block legal purchases of firearms.)

Arizona Bill Would Criminalize Minuteman Activity: An Arizona lawmaker 
has introduced a bill to revise the state's statutes on organized crime 
and fraud by defining "domestic terrorism" in such a way that members of 
the Minuteman Project or similar organizations would be guilty of a 
felony for patrolling to detect illegal activity while armed with a 
firearm or other weapon.

City Council May Ban Weapons: A small Arizona city west of Phoenix 
debates banning weapons at city council meetings. Absent from the 
article is the fact that the council cannot mandate that the candidate 
they dislike leave his firearm in his tow truck - under state law they 
must provide readily retrievable on-site storage if they implement the ban.

Yes But...: New York Post article goes to great lengths to explain how 
actor Paul Sorvino's status a a sworn deputy sheriff in Pennsylvania 
allowed him to legally carry a handgun he recently used in an incident 
in Vermont. However, it fails to mention that no permit is required to 
carry a concealed firearm in Vermont, so long as one is not a prohibited 
possessor and is not doing so with malice.

Massachusetts Gun Club Offers Seminars For Women: Peggy Fellouris and 
Judy Thornhill are co-chairs of the club's newly formed women's 
division, and they are planning three free programs to educate women 
about gun safety and shooting. (Perhaps, in one of these seminars, 
someone will teach Peggy to keep her finger out of the trigger guard 
until her sights are on the target and she is prepared to fire.)

 From GOA: Congratulations! You have, once again, whupped the anti-gun 
zealots! As Constitution-hating senators like California's Dianne 
Feinstein whined and complained, the Senate -- by a narrow 
largely-party-line vote of 55-43 -- struck language which would have 
required GOA to monitor and report on its communications with its 
members and friends (like you).
