KY: Police rule shooting as self-defense: "Kentucky State Police Detective Scott Skaggs said Jennifer Forsythe of Morgantown was acting in self-defense Sunday when she shot her husband, Bobby Forsythe, in the upper left thigh. Bobby Forsythe was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, where he was treated and released. The couple’s 5-year-old child was also struck in the thigh by a projectile and was treated at The Medical Center at Bowling Green and released, according to a release from the Kentucky State Police. The sheriff’s office told KSP that deputies had been called to a domestic disturbance between the couple earlier that night at a party down the road, Skaggs said. Jennifer Forsythe had fresh bruises on her, Skaggs said."


The Demand For Concealed Weapons In Michigan is being driven by women: "Most women would not have thought to carry a gun even five years ago, said Andrea Durhal. When she became a National Rifle Association certified instructor eight years ago, her classes were mostly men. Recently, women have started to fill her classes. It took a few years for women to get over a fear of guns and take responsibility for their protection, she said. “We’re being victimized; we’re being raped. The crimes are getting higher and the police departments are less and less,” she said. “People are realizing now that they need to be their own security.”


A hidden victory for gun rights: "A significant gun-rights victory in the U.S. Supreme Court is being interpreted almost exclusively as a free-speech victory. Actually, Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association is both, and the mistake is understandable. But it would be a shame to deny encouragement to Second Amendment advocates. Brown revolved around California’s 2005 ban on the sale or rental of violent video games to anyone under 18."


Virginia Attorney General says UVA cannot ban gun carry: "On the heels of his recent opinion holding that "self-defense" is "good and sufficient reason" to carry a gun to church, Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli now says that state colleges like the University of Virginia cannot ban the carriage of concealed handguns by proper license holders. The opinion was written in response to a question by Senator Emmett Hanger (R-Mount Solon). Cuccinelli reasoned that concealed handgun permit holders were explicilty entitled by law to carry concealed handguns throughout the Commonwealth except where prohibited "by law," and therefore state agencies like UVA could not ban concealed carry even in campus buildings and medical facilities by mere "policy. State universities could however go through the Commonwealth's formal rule making process and publish a regulation in the Virginia Administrative Code."
