Arkansas invader dead: "A Dardanelle man is dead after he and an unidentified accomplice apparently broke into a residence off State Highway 22 near Dardanelle late Wednesday night, authorities said Thursday. Yell County Sheriff Bill Gilkey confirmed one of the home’s occupants shot and killed Mike Jensen, 44, after Jensen and another man allegedly entered the residence by kicking in the front door. Four people were inside the home at the time of the break-in, Gilkey said. Jensen — who after entering the home made his way down a hallway and was at the point of entering a bedroom when he was shot — was armed with an SKS assault rifle investigators later learned was not loaded, Gilkey said. The other intruder fled the scene in a vehicle authorities recovered Thursday morning, Gilkey said, adding investigators were working to process the vehicle in hopes of learning the second man’s identity. Gilkey said authorities do not expect any charges will be filed against the homeowner — who Gilkey said used “a shotgun” to deter Jensen — in connection with the matter."

UT: Senate votes for fewer restrictions on where guns allowed: "Business owners wouldn't be allowed to prevent employees or customers from storing guns in their vehicles as long as the weapon is hidden and properly stored, under a bill the Senate approved Wednesday. Senate Bill 67 is sponsored by Sen. Mark Madsen, R-Eagle Mountain. It passed in the Senate 23-4 and will now be heard in the House. Madsen says his bill is intended to keep gun owners safe while they commute to work or drive around town. He says some people feel vulnerable to attack if they can't have a gun nearby. Opponents say Madsen's bill erodes the rights of private property owners and could threaten public safety. Madsen's bill would not apply to churches, schools and government property."
