FL: Pensacola man says he shot another man in self-defense: "A Pensacola man says he shot another man in self-defense over weekend, according to a police report. Trenton Copeland, 25, of Pensacola was wounded Saturday night outside Ram Tool & Supply in the 3000 block of Davis Highway. He was in critical condition Sunday. The report said Copeland argued with Keith Crosby over a woman. Marquis Kyle, 28, Crosby's cousin, told police he intervened in the argument because Crosby and Copeland were about to fight. Kyle said he thought he had ended the dispute until he saw Copeland walking toward him and his cousin with a knife, the report said. "Kyle stated that he fired one shot and then reholstered his weapon," the report said. Kyle said he was then beaten up by a group of Copeland's friends and his .45-caliber gun was taken, the report said. Kyle was taken to West Florida Hospital on Saturday night to be treated for several cuts and other injuries. His condition was not available Sunday evening. No arrests have been made in the shooting."


MI: Accused gun-toting robbers could face additional charges in shooting of Dearborn teen hit by stray bullet: "During the robbery, on the Detroit side, the victim was shot by the three men, but apparently returned fire, striking a 13-year-old boy playing basketball on the Dearborn side. The three face charges on the robbery, but the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office is now looking at charging them in the shooting of the boy, because he was injured during a felony they committed. Coridale Francillon, 19, Tommy Lee Walton, 20 and Marshall Thomas Ellis, 21 all of Detroit, are accused of shooting and attempting to rob a 26-year-old man May 22 on Robson, north of Tireman in Detroit. When the man refused to surrender his sunglasses, the suspects allegedly shot him in the chest before fleeing south on Robson into Dearborn, where Dearborn police took them into custody. The victim was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was placed in a medically induced coma. The department hopes to charge the three suspects in connection with the shooting of the Dearborn teen, who was struck by the stray bullet May 22 while playing basketball on Mead, south of Tireman. Police say the bullet was fired by the robbery victim in self-defense and traveled up the street until it struck the juvenile in the back. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital. No charges have been filed against the 26-year-old robbery victim, who is still hospitalized".


Second Amendment rights: Use ‘em or lose ‘em : “I’ve had some requests for follow-up on the group of local residents who met for lunch in North Las Vegas on Sunday, May 17, and then proceeded to a downtown park — adjacent to the North Las Vegas police station — to pick up trash.The idea was to conduct a demonstration of their right to carry firearms openly on their hips, the way U.S. Navy vessels occasionally transit the Bosporus and other international waters to demonstrate we still have a right to do so. Billy Logan, who bills himself as "NRA member, GONV member, staunch Libertarian, proud gun owner and Second Amendment advocate," writes: "Everything went smoother than we could have imagined (minus the problem with Buffalo Wild Wings). The outcome is exactly how we wanted and it couldn't have ended better." Apparently responding with some sarcasm to my explanation that no photo of the gathering was published in the newspaper because nothing of an exciting nature happened, Billy adds, "Feel free to tell the photo editor (or whoever is in charge of publishing stories) that we're all deeply saddened we weren't able to get into a fire fight with the police or accidentally shoot a bystander"
