chance for success, prohibitionists seem to be crowing that this is the 
first time they will have the concept debated in the legislature.

Kansans Train For CCW: To be certified, applicants must complete an 
eight-hour training course, pass a written exam and hit a target 18 out 
of 25 times on the range. In addition to proving they can meet the 
shooting requirement, applicants have to learn about the law - a lot 
about the law. (I wish they would also teach them not to point the 
muzzle up in the air.)

Oops, Wrong House: A homeless man in Texas made the error of returning 
to a home where he had robbed the resident a few hours earlier. He is 
now recovering from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. (In all the 
years I have been doing this, this is only the third incident I recall 
where an assailant disarmed his victim.)

Gun Owners Relax As Children Grow: While the source of this study, The 
Harvard School of Public Health, is clearly anti-RKBA, the point is well 
taken to recognize the potential of teenagers to become suicidal and 
evaluate access to firearms as offspring as they transit adolescence.

Stuck In The 1700's: A New Jersey teacher who has had students killed 
with firearms calls for an end to the RKBA. "The premise of the Second 
Amendment, the need for minutemen, no longer exists. In a free society 
we must rely on the police. We have more important rights to fight for 
than the right to bear arms." (Obviously, relying on the police, along 
with infringing the RKBA, really works in New Jersey.)

Gun Owners Of South Africa Fights Proposed Legal Changes: Gun control 
"creates a community where only the government, which is then free to 
abuse its power as was the case in apartheid South Africa and Nazi 
Germany, and criminals own firearms," said GOOSE coordinator Charlie van 
Wok.
