Ind.: Witness claims man shot to death in self defense: "Greenwood Police and the people who knew Hans Lanham said he was a career criminal burglar and thief who would resist law enforcement. was paranoid on drugs, and would fight. It was a battle with another man Sunday night that cost Lanham his life. Lanham arrived unannounced at the Cedarbrook Apartments on West Smith Valley Road and attacked a man over a previous dispute a witness told Fox 59 News. Lanham was armed with a pair of beer bottles and threatened to stab the man when a friend stepped in. "He grabbed him and threw him to the ground and was on top of him. He was told several times to leave. One shot was fired and I think it hit him in the stomach." Police say the resident who fired the shot is cooperating with investigators and was not arrested."


NRA Sues D.C. Over Guns in Public Housing: "Current District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA) rules forbid law-abiding residents from owning a firearm for any lawful purpose. The National Rifle Association (NRA) is supporting and financing a lawsuit to challenge this policy. The case is Scott v. District of Columbia Housing Authority. DCHA residents, just like all Americans, have a fundamental, individual right to keep firearms in their homes for self-defense. This right, affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court in its landmark Heller and McDonald decisions, is guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Denying anyone a basic right based on their zip code or tax bracket is unacceptable."
