AZ: Robber shot. Victim charged: "One man is dead and another man has been arrested following a robbery and an altercation in Gilbert Thursday night. It happened at a Circle K near Rittenhouse and Power Rds about 7 p.m. Thursday. 21-year-old Stefen Selvy had just purchased alcohol when 36-year-old Bobby Baughman robbed him in the parking lot, according to police. During the robbery, Baughman hit Selvy in the head with a wrench, and Selvy retaliated by getting a gun out of his vehicle and allegedly shooting Baughman. Baughman was killed. Selvy was arrested at the scene and booked on charges of second degree murder. Gilbert Police detectives are investigating the circumstances leading up until the shooting".


OH: Former inmate killed during robbery: "A Cleveland man turned the tables on four robbers late Thursday, grabbing one of their guns and shooting one of the suspects dead. The Cuyahoga County Coroner's office identified the dead man as Terrance Manning, 20, of nearby Central Avenue. He died shortly after midnight Friday at MetroHealth Medical Center. Manning was released from prison on Aug. 21 after serving two years on robbery and weapons charges. Police spokesman Sgt. Sammy Morris declined to release the name of the shooter for fear of reprisal. "As far as we can tell, this was just a man going to his apartment," Morris said. "He lives in the apartment with his family." "As one of the suspects attempted to unlock the apartment door, he switched the gun from one hand to the other," said Morris in a news release. "At this time, the victim grabbed the gun, and a struggle ensued between the victim and two of the suspects."


Ohio bill negates business gun ban: "Ohio businesses no longer could stop employees with concealed-carry licenses from bringing their guns onto the premises under a House bill that is backed by a bipartisan mix of 31 co-sponsors. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Joe Uecker, R-Loveland, proposes allowing a licensee to store his or her gun in a locked car while it is parked on an employer's lot. Current law gives businesses the ability to ban guns from any part of company grounds. "Employees should not be discriminated against just because they choose to exercise their Second Amendment right," Uecker said. "This legislation will prevent intrusive company policies on personal freedoms and possible dismissal simply based on the merit that management does not agree with the individual's right." Uecker said 13 other states have similar laws."


CA: BB toting woman ordered to serve sentence: "A federal judge Tuesday refused to delay a jail sentence any longer for a Santa Cruz Mountains woman who has been fighting to overturn her misdemeanor gun-brandishing conviction with an argument that her Second Amendment rights have been violated. In a nine-page order, U.S. District Judge Phyllis Hamilton found that Stanford-educated medical doctor Barbara Saldinger is unlikely to prevail in her legal battle and that she should begin serving her 60-day jail sentence immediately.”
