IL: Pharmacist shoots robbery suspect: "An employee of a Wauconda pharmacy shot and critically wounded a man today as he attempted to rob the drugstore, police said. Witnesses told police that a man wearing a ski mask entered Wauconda Pharmacy on Main Street at about 1:45 p.m. today, forced his way into the pharmacy area, threatened an employee with a knife and demanded a large amount of prescription painkillers. After he was given the drugs, a pharmacist and a technician grabbed the suspect an ordered him to stop and surrender, police said. The suspect broke free and threatened the two men, at which point the pharmacist fired a shot."


OK: Legislators propose “open carry”: "Citing a 2006 FBI study that shows most criminals conceal their firearms, State Representative Paul Wesselhoft, a Republican from Moore, has authored a bill that would allow any adult in Oklahoma to openly carry a firearm. He believes the proposal will help prevent crime and that it would buttress the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution."


KS: Law change may allow even blind to carry concealed: "In the state of Kansas, to carry a concealed firearm you need a gun — preferably something that fits nice under your jacket, in your pocket or perhaps in your purse. You also need a license, the state’s seal of approval that you can hide a firearm on your person. What’s less clear is whether you need eyesight. It certainly is suggested, unquestionably helpful. But following a change in state law, it is no longer clear whether it is required."


ATF declaring war on honest gun owners: "They are coming for your guns any way they can. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is waging a war on innocent gun owners, and not surprisingly, the Obama administration has done nothing to keep them in check."

    I don't see why the behavior of the ATF would surprise anybody; that's how they have ALWAYS behaved. I suppose it's possible that at some point the Federal Government has played host to a more egregious collection of cowboys, fanatics, parasites, and swine .... but frankly, nothing springs to mind.
