Some talk about of ID confusion and ID theft.  Starting a new series on Getting Started with shooting.

This weeks carry tip is: Carry your spare magazines so you can get them with your weak hand.
Listen to the show for why.

California: On an earlier show I discussed that the governor vetoed a bill to ban gun shows at the Cow Palace. Well The annual Crossroads of the West Gun Show drew a massive crowd at that location.

Florida: A Teacher who threatened to shoot students and kill the principal of a high school is causing additional concern as he may be released from jail on Bond. I wonder how many people are reevaluating that whole no guns at school thing now.

Illinois: Mayor Daley of Chicago doesn’t like the recent court ruling regarding guns in cars. He goes on to say the ruling could put police officers, and other first responders at risk. I guess he doesn’t realize that only people who are obeying the law will be affected by this ruling. Criminals carry anyway, legal or not.

Michigan: The number of people with Concealed Pistol Licenses continues to increase. According to the Michigan State Police there are more than two hundred and fourteen thousand people licensed to carry a concealed pistol.

New Jersey: Hunters looking forward to change that may come with the new governor.

New Jersey: New gun laws may have caused Governor Corzine to loose his reelection bid.

New Jersey: Someone finally gets it. The chief of the task force reviewing New Jersey’s gun rationing law says retailers, among others, need an exemption to the law. I say get rid of the gun rationing law all together.

New Jersey: Judge says that a handicapped man can get gun permit.

Texas: Students at Tarrant County College will be able to hold their empty holster protest, in spite of efforts by the campus administration, due to a ruling from the Honorable U.S. District Judge Terry R. Means. Students will not be able to wear their holsters in classrooms or hallways but they will be able to wear them and pass out materials in so called “public forum” areas.

Texas: A 20 year old man managed to shoot one suspect in a daring daylight home invasion. The other suspects were able to flee with no obvious injuries. The story breaks down along the lines of suspects pull up, force victim into home at gun point, victim grabs his own gun and starts shooting. Two suspects flee leaving their wounded laying in his own blood. The injured suspect was flown to a regional hospital where he was listed as being in VERY critical condition.

Washington: The son of Washington’s Lt. Governor was shot in a work place dispute with his employer.

Wisconsin: Eau Claire county is considering the development of a public shooting range. This would give locals a safe place to shoot.

National: Gun banners afraid the United States Supreme Court might actually follow Constitutional law and precedent by incorporating the second amendment.

National: Gun banners claim there is a “Terror Gap” in our gun control laws. Essentially they want to be able to prohibit gun sales to people on the no fly list, keep records of NICS, also called Brady, checks, and in general use the blood of their victims to further their agenda of making everyone a victim of gun control.

International/Canada: The proposed abolition of the long gun registry is gaining support.

International/England: Man suspected of being an international gun runner. Maybe this is how the criminals get their guns.

International/England: A former soldier is facing jail time because he turned in a shotgun he found. This is zero tolerance taken to the extreme.

International/Mexico: The Mexican Military is wary of the often corrupt Mexican Police forces. These corrupt forces are often in league with the gangs. Things are so bad over there that the military has warned the police chiefs they will use deadly force against them.
