Iowa Gun Owners Want More

The funny part is how many times the pro-gun voices cry about the gun-control slippery slope.  Look what they're trying to do in Iowa, greedy and self-centered that they are. Fortunately, it'll probably go the way of New Hampshire.

Concealed Carry Dog Owner Commits Murder


Philly.com reports on another incident in which a CCW permit holder acted badly, very badly.  It seems he'd had an ongoing argument with a neighbor about not cleaning up after his dogs.  Maybe he thought if you wear a gun you don't have to clean up the mess and nobody can tell you to.

The two got into an argument on the front porch of the younger man's home that escalated into an altercation and a struggle over a 9mm handgun the younger man carried in a hip holster, Small said. During the struggle, the older man was shot several times, including twice in the neck, Small said. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene at 4:25.

The gunman had a license to carry a concealed weapon. Police were checking to see if it was still valid.
What's your opinion? Do you think this young man was an unfit gun owner? In retrospect it's easy to see, but with proper screening might not some of these dangerous characters be identified?

Gun-Rights Set-Backs in New Hampshire


NHPR reports

The New Hampshire state Senate rejected several controversial gun bills Wednesday. All of the proposals originally passed the House.

The move suggests that the Senate’s patience for 2nd Amendment legislation may be about up.

The Senate made brisk work of the so-called gun bills in front of them. “We spent a grand total of 6 minutes on 5 bills because we want to focus on the issues that are important to the New Hampshire people,” Senate President Peter Bragdon said.

The bills the Senate down include a measure allowing people to carry loaded weapons – including crossbows – in their vehicles and one that permits weapons in public places like college campuses, the Verizon Center and the state psychiatric hospital.
This is wonderful news. I love the way gun-rights folks keep talking like these gun bills are part of their 2A rights and therefore inevitable. It's heartening to see not everyone agrees with that.
