MO: KC man acquitted in 2006 murder at restaurant: "A Jackson County jury late Tuesday acquitted a Kansas City man of committing a 2006 murder that was captured by video surveillance cameras. Jurors found Anthony D. Sisco not guilty of killing Jacob Higgs, who was shot to death inside the Filling Station Restaurant and Lounge in south Kansas City. Defense attorney Pat Peters argued to the jury that Sisco acted in self-defense after Higgs and another man, who was wounded in the shooting incident, brandished an AR-15 rifle before Sisco and his brother fired at them. Sisco’s brother, Sylvester Sisco, was convicted by a different jury in 2009 and sentenced to life in prison."


Repeal of gun ban on army land: "Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) plans to offer an amendment this week protecting gun rights on land controlled by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Currently, guns are prohibited on Corps land, even when gun possession is otherwise allowed by state law. Rep. Gosar’s legislation would simply remove federal restrictions and allow for the law of the states (in which such land is located) to govern firearms possession. The Gosar amendment, modeled after the Recreational Lands Self-Defense Act (H.R. 1865) introduced by pro-gun Rep. Bob Gibbs (R-OH), is similar to a 2009 law repealing the gun ban on National Park Service land. Army Corps of Engineers land was not part of that bill, something the Corps was quick to point out after that law took affect."


NH Gov. vetoes bill to expand deadly force: "New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch vetoed a bill Wednesday that would expand a person's right to use deadly force in self-defense without first attempting to retreat. The Democratic governor blocked a similar bill in 2006, but the Republican-controlled Legislature passed the current measure by enough votes that it could overturn the veto. Associations representing police chiefs and sheriffs urged the governor to veto the latest bill for many of the same reasons. In his veto message, Lynch cited opposition by law enforcement as a reason to reject the bill. "(The bill) would unleash the potential for increasing deadly violence in our communities," he said."
