Indianans Like Lifetime Permits: One more article reminds Indiana 
residents that they now have the option of lifetime carry permits and 
points that they can still be revoked for cause. (I'm mystified by the 
implied connection between CCW and Cowboy Action shooting.)

Six Of Ten Utah CFP's Go To Non-Residents: The widespread acceptance of 
Utah's Concealed Firearm Permit has resulted in the majority being 
issued to non-residents, many of whom never set foot in the state. While 
the article emphasizes the $110,000 deficit for the program, it fails to 
mention that a recent law will significantly reduce the number of 
out-of-state instructors by requiring in-state instructor training every 
three years.

The Washington Post vs. Sanford Abrams: Lengthy article asserts that it 
is too difficult for the BATFE to shut down errant firearm dealers. 
Abrams' point of view is summarized as well. (Abrams is an attractive 
target for the mainstream media because he serves on the NRA Board of 
Directors.)

officers who were grazed by ricocheting bullets fired at a pit bull 
terrier that was biting a fellow officer were struck by some of the 15 
of the rounds that did not strike the dog.

Rule Three Reminder: A South Carolina state legislator won't be 
prosecuted for firing a shot while arguing with two utility workers in 
his parents' backyard. He claims that the round was fired when he 
tripped while walking away from the two men. (Rule Three: Keep your 
finger out of the trigger guard, up on the frame, until your sights are 
on the target and you're prepared to fire.)

More Misinformation From California: Article about Californians 
attending the Machine Gun Shoot at Nevada's Mustang Range intentionally 
confuses full-auto (NFA) firearms with the cosmetically impaired 
semiautomatics banned under California law.

...And A Little More Emotionalism...: Article from California's Contra 
Costa County looks at the costs of illegal shootings without any 
emphasis on the criminals who perpetrate them. (It's all the fault of 
the guns.)
