Those changes may come via a task force which has begun reviewing the new law.
“The task force's central proposal would make it easier for gun store owners to stock their shelves while still limiting customers to buying one handgun every 30 days,” the Star-Ledger reported. “The law exempts sales between licensed gun dealers, but not purchases from distributors or manufacturers, which are classified differently under New Jersey law.”
“As it stands now, retailers would be prohibited from purchasing guns from their suppliers,” said Burlington County Prosecutor Robert Bernardi, who leads the task force. “I think that was an oversight when the legislation was passed.”
Said State Police Lt. Col. Christopher Andreychak, a task force member, “You couldn't run a used-car business if you can only buy and sell one used car a month. They have to have an exemption or we'll put them out of business.”
The task force was scheduled to make its recommendations to the governor before the end of November.
A three judge panel has declared that Ohio R.C 9.68 – which became law in 2007 with passage of HB347 to preempt local gun control and ensure statewide uniformity of gun laws – is unconstitutional.
Judges Colleen Conway-Cooney, Ann Dyke (both Democrats facing re-election in 2010), and Melody Stewart (a Democrat facing re-election in 2012) reversed a lower court's decision to uphold the law.
Dyke was elected to the appellate court in 1987, after serving 7 years as a common pleas judge in Cuyahoga County. Conway-Cooney was elected in 2000, after serving 9 years as a Cleveland Municipal Judge and 8 years as a Cuyahoga County prosecutor. Stewart was elected in 2006 after serving as assistant Law Director to Cleveland.
We are certain gun owners across the state are resting comfortably, knowing that they got a fair, unbiased hearing from these three, who all owe their livelihoods and careers to the Cleveland political machine.
Ironically, in a footnote to their ruling that the law is unconstitional, the appellate court admitted the state Supreme Court has already, by implication, ruled that the law is constitutional.
Indeed, in Ohioans For Concealed Carry, Inc. v. Clyde, the Supreme Court upheld R.C. 9.68 as it relates to handguns, albeit in dicta, when it stated, “[s]imply put, the General Assembly, by enacting R.C. 9.68(A), gave persons in Ohio the right to carry a handgun unless federal or state law prohibits them from doing so. A municipal ordinance cannot infringe on that broad statutory right.” Read more
That Congressional mandate at Section 512 of the Act immunizes Americans from the National Park Service's gun carry ban provided that the gun carry does not violate any other state or federal law.
Most states allow both open and concealed carry of loaded firearms in public places, though typically concealed carry requires a state issued license. Another wrinkle is that some states regulate gun carry inside vehicles more strictly than gun carry on foot, while other states do the reverse.
Several recent news reports note surprise by some observers that the Coburn Amendment permits both concealed and open carry of firearms, including long guns, on National Park property. However the National Park Service seems to be taking things in stride.
According to National Park Spokesperson Phil Selleck, the Park Service is not going to go through any formal rulemaking process for each park.
Instead said Selleck, the Service is going to work to “educate the public” and park employees on the gun carry rights in each park. Selleck said that federal law at 18 U.S.C. 930 continues to ban gun carry in “federal facilities,” but advised that the Park Service does not consider unattended structures such as “outhouses” to be federal facilities because “employees are not regularly present there to perform official duties.” Read more
Bob Warden, 44, announced his intentions in an e-mail Friday morning to media as well as to the city of Seattle, including the police and city attorney.
On Saturday, Warden walked into the Southwest Community Center at 2801 SW Thistle Street with a Glock-27 .40-caliber sub-compact pistol under a black jacket in a holster strap over his left shoulder. Parks Department employee Lisa Harrison asked him to leave, and he did.
“I'm not here as a Second Amendment activist,” Warden said. “I'm here as a citizen who believes in the rule of law.”
Warden, who said he's never discharged a weapon outside a firing range, added that the idea occurred to him in the past couple of days.
Media, Seattle Police and a handful of supporters were on hand. Warden sent out an e-mail Friday announcing his intentions.
“As a courtesy, this is advance notice that at noon tomorrow, Saturday, November 14, I plan to exercise my legal right to bear arms in Seattle's Southwest Community Center, 2801 SW Thistle Street,” Warden said in his e-mail. “I will be safely and securely carrying my holstered Glock pistol. I have a current valid State of Washington License to Carry Concealed.”
Bud Shasteen, 75, an NRA member member of the Second Amendment Foundation, was among Warden's supporters.
“I'm glad he is doing it,” Shasteen said. “I'm sorry I didn't think of it. I'd have done it myself.”
Alex Kaehler, 16, and his sister, Jeanmarie Kaehler, 20, were also on hand to support the move. Neither owns a weapon, but both said they want to.
“The mayor was definitely way out of line when he passed the law,” said Alex Kaehler, who lives in SeaTac. “I'm glad somebody is challenging him.”
Mayor Greg Nickels said the ban is intended to protect children. Warden objected to that reasoning.
“Nickels has never presented any evidence to suggest how responsible concealed-weapon carrying is a threat to children in a park,” Warden said.
Nickels said on Oct. 14 that guns would be banned on such city facilities as parks and community centers where children gather. Signs banning guns have been posted at city parks.
Late last month, gun-rights advocates sued, saying the ban violates state law. Read more
You hear that a lot. And there is only one answer. The best gun to have in a gunfight is the one you have when the gunfight starts. Most exchanges of gunfire last less than five seconds. You won't have time to go get a gun and if you do go get one the authorities like to call that “premeditation.” So the short answer is to find a gun that fits your hand and your carry style, functions perfectly every time and can shoot “minute of bad guy” at a range of 15 feet. To be more specific about the accuracy requirements, I want, at the bare minimum, all the bullets to fall somewhere between the nipples and the navel at 15 feet. That s a functional fighting handgun. Yes you can do better, but you don't always need to.Remember the first rule of a gunfight: Have a gun.And remember Grandpa's corollary: Beware the man with just one gun… he very likely knows how to use it.Long and short: Shop for a gun you like and practice with it until you are confident in your abilities.For more information on great guns, check out www.gundigeststore.com

Right now the media is trying to make a big deal that the cowardly Ft. Hood shooter used an FH FiveseveN pistol in his attack. Apparently unnamed federal law enforcement agents call this gun “The Cop Killer”… Talk about a load of BS. This pistol had nothing to do with this attack. Nothing.The basis for this attack was that the shooter was a Muslim who felt more loyalty to his religion than to his nation and his fellow soldiers. And unfortunately his religion directs him to kill those who don't believe as he does. His actions were motivated by religion and nothing more and those who deny this, deny the truth.What kind of religion advocates the murder of others as a religious requirement? Islam. That's the truth.Apply Occam's Razor to this situation and see what you get.It wasn't the FiveseveN that killed these soldiers. It was that coward's blind belief that it would be better to kill American soldiers than to stand up and proclaim that he was opposed to the war on fellow Muslims and simply would not participate…but he did participate in the war… on the wrong side and in classic Muslim fashion of attacking those who could not fight back.
Michael Bender of the Personal Protection Academy demonstrates defensive handgun technique, but stresses the legal and financial consequences of a defensive gun use (DGU).
Physical Consequences
Many of you have seen photos of gunshot wound victims. Ugly stuff. Even for those who survived those injuries, their wounds had to have been debilitating for a lifetime.
Emotional Consequences
Shooting someone — or getting shot — is likely to affect your outlook on the world, perhaps for the rest of your days.
Financial Consequences
Defending yourself from prosecution and/or civil litigation can be expensive — just a huge financial burden for the average Joe. Expect to shell out $10,000 or more in attorney retainer and legal expenses if you even draw that gun, let alone shoot someone with it. If the thing goes bang, $100,000 can disappear quickly in your legal struggle to stay out of prison.
Legal Consequences
You’ll have a very small window to get this right. Do this wrong, and you might go to prison. I’ll repeat that. Do this wrong, and you might lose your freedom.
After my clients leave my training, using lethal force or threatening to use it will be their choice. Their survival and their freedom afterward will depend not only on their skills and tactics they have or acquire during training, but also on their lawful use of deadly force.
Always keep in mind that you’re not obligated to pull your gun, and unless someone is about to be killed or seriously physically injured, leaving that weapon in its holster just might be the smartest thing to do.
Staying out of prison, means conditioning yourself to assess your risks in every instance before pulling that gun. Asking yourself, “What are my chances of successfully defending myself or others, without intolerable risks to me or them? If I draw my weapon, am I prepared to use it? Can I actually pull the trigger if I can’t find another way to get to safety or protect those I care about?”
Nothing like playing poker. No bluffing here. No false bravado. Stakes are lots higher and could very well become permanent in some fashion.
I ask my clients to keep this adage in mind: If you use a gun to defend yourself, the police and the courts are sure to take a lot longer and stronger look at you than if you swing a purse, briefcase, big stick, use pepper spray, or even watch a carjacker disappear under your front bumper. Be assured using a gun will provoke lots of face-time with law enforcement folks.
“You’ll have a very small window to get this right. Do this wrong, and you might go to prison. I’ll repeat that. Do this wrong, and you might lose your freedom.”
The conditions for legally using self-defense … lots to understand.
During this and the next three DGU Advisors, I’ll talk about four very important conditions. The four conditions I discuss in my courses are what I’ve come to understand to be nearly universal self-defense law across the country.
The foundation of my own training, and what I simply pass along in my courses and herein, comes from trainers taught by Joe Olson (Professor of Law at Hamline University, longtime political activist in 2nd Amendment issues, former Board member of the National Rifle Association, former federal prosecutor, and experienced defense counsel) and from the writings of Massad Ayoob (police chief, trainer, lecturer, educator, author, editor, and internationally recognized leading authority on lawful use of force).
Although I’ve found some states use somewhat different terminology, I believe information provided by Professor Olson and Mr. Ayoob to be foundational self-defense law across our nation.
The Four Conditions
Commit them to memory.
You must be a reluctant participant.
You must be reasonably in immediate fear of death or great bodily harm.
No lesser force will do.
Retreat is not practical.
With today’s DGU Advisor, I’ll discuss the first … You must be a reluctant participant.
This simply means you didn’t proactively cultivate the exchange that escalated to use or threat of deadly force.
It also means you took reasonable steps to avoid the conflict or tried to get out of Dodge before it erupted.
There may come a time in your life when you determine you’re about to become a victim of an act of violence, a forcible felony. Unless you act decisively, you’re going to be mugged, severely assaulted, maimed, raped, or murdered. Be a Reluctant Participant
As a reluctant participant you had no part in starting the mess. You even apologized profusely to Mr. Wolf … tried to get out of Dodge before it blew up … didn’t cause any of it.
Keep in mind that your adversary need not be a complete stranger … might be a violent ex-spouse, co-worker holding a grudge, disgruntled employee, stalker.
As a Sheepdog you can do some things to proactively establish your status as a reluctant participant. We should be rather thankful for all the public cameras out there … at gas stations, ATMs, parking lots, stores of all types. If one of those Big Brother devices records your reluctance to participate in a confrontation, that’s a very good thing. Likewise witnesses, if they see you demonstrate your reluctance to participate in a confrontation.

I want you to keep in mind that a Sheepdog’s reasons for carrying a gun are quite a bit different than reasons required of police officers. Law enforcement folks have to make arrests, capture bad guys, intervene in family disputes, and the like. They have a primary weapon and maybe a backup, plus extra magazines, baton, pepper spray, taser, handcuffs … tools of their trade.
As Sheepdogs we have a much different purpose with a gun. Our obligation is to put distance between ourselves and trouble. It’s a tool of last resort. So it’s probably not a good idea to carry a primary gun, backup gun, six extra mags of nuclear-tipped hollow points, knife, those Chinese throwing stars you got for Christmas last year, blackjack, and a bunch of other combat gear when you go out to dinner. Wearing the Batman belt won’t look good to your peers on the jury when they’re trying to objectively decide if you’ve been a reluctant participant.
By the way, reluctant participant status applies to a third party you decide to help, too. Tough to know if the guy on the floor getting the soup kicked out of him is the good guy or the wolf resisting arrest by a rough-looking undercover cop.
My recommendation is this: Short of imminent death or great bodily harm situations, it will almost invariably be best to call the police. Let them sort it out.
The Importance of Articulation
Sheepdogs, please, please keep in mind you must be able to articulate WHY you used force. Being able to articulate to a Trier of Fact that you were a reluctant participant might keep you from going to prison.
Will you be able to articulate your claim of justifiable self-defense in court of law if an aggressive prosecutor pursues you for unlawful use of force? For example, “I tried to get away from him, Mr. Prosecutor. I apologized for any misunderstandings … did my best to calm the situation down … told Mr. Wolf I didn’t want any trouble, and my wife and I tried to leave. He followed us into the parking lot and attacked me with a club. I didn’t have a club. I was afraid that if he connected with my head, I’d be wounded severely, maybe mortally. That’s why I discharged my weapon in self-defense … the only means I had to survive without grave injury to my wife or myself.”
The best self-defense tactic will always be to avoid putting yourself in a position where you will need to shoot. The majority of violent crimes are committed in certain neighborhoods. You likely know where they are in your environment. Stay out of them. And plan how to avoid conflict or what you might do to lower the level of conflict if you see a situation developing.
Be a reluctant participant!
That’s all I have for you this time around. The next DGU Advisor topic will discuss the second condition. You must be reasonably in immediate fear of death or great bodily harm.
Be safe out there Sheepdogs.

If you want to be a good shooter… shoot more. Make the time to practice and practice properly. If you intend to carry concealed then practice drawing from concealment–verbalize– and engage. If you pull your pistol and shoot someone without giving commands to “Drop the weapon!” you will have some explaining to do when the authorities arrive… Turn the bystanders into witnesses by doing everything correctly and giving them the chance to see and hear you do it. Verbalize before you shoot. Verbalize while you train.
When Brady head Paul Helmke heard of the tragedy at Fort Hood, he says, “we were in the midst of planning a response to the latest dangerous legislative proposal from the gun lobby in the United States Senate–language to automatically restore access to guns to veterans designated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the Justice Department as ‘mentally incapacitated’ or ‘mentally incompetent.’”
Actually, the legislation in question, S. 669, would only safeguard two of the most fundamental of American’s Constitutional rights: due process of law and the right to keep and bear arms
Since 1999, over 100,000 U.S. military veterans have been stripped of their Second Amendment rights on the basis of psychiatrists’ opinions for issues such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
(Incidentally, the alleged Ft. Hood shooter was an Army psychiatrist, one of the very people in a position to deem others too troubled to possess a firearm.) Read more
According to the Star-Telegram, “U.S. District Judge Terry R. Means said in his ruling that Clayton Smith and John Schwertz Jr., who attend TCC Northeast Campus in Hurst, can wear empty gun holsters and hand out fliers in ‘public-forum areas including, but not limited to, public streets, sidewalks, and common or park areas.’ TCC wanted to restrict the protest to a small designated area.”
“But the students cannot wear their holsters in classrooms or hallways. They are protesting for the right of licensed gun owners to carry concealed handguns on college campuses.”
“I am pretty excited and happy for all of the students at TCC, whatever their cause is, to speak freely and get their message out,” said Smith, 20, of Euless.
A final hearing on the lawsuit was scheduled for November 16.
“This decision means that at least for next week, students on TCC’s campus will be able to freely exercise their First Amendment rights,” said Lisa Graybill, legal director of the ACLU of Texas, which filed the lawsuit.
The case will address the application of the Second Amendment to the states through either the Due Process clause or the Privileges or Immunities clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The case has major implications for the legality of restrictive gun laws not only in Chicago, but also in other cities across the United States.
Full support by the Wisconsin Assembly and other states will only strengthen the stance of the Second Amendment’s true meaning in the eyes of the court. Read more
Brady's comment came at a debate among the seven GOP candidates for governor.
Each candidate was asked why he was qualified to oversee the Illinois National Guard and public safety. Most promise to modernize the Guard and hire professionals with experience in military and security work.
Brady says another way to improve safety is to let people carry concealed guns. He says that would help in the case of a shooting like the one last year at Northern Illinois University or Thursday in Texas. Read more
The homeowner was talking on the phone to another family member about 10 a.m. when he thought he heard something at the back door, police said.
“The suspects had already broken down the back door,” said Flint Police Lt. TP Johnson.
Johnson said two people had broken into the home. The homeowner was able to get a gun away from one of the intruders, which the homeowner used to shoot one of the intruders, who died, Johnson said.
The homeowner was not injured and is cooperating with police, Johnson said. Read more
When taking a rifle to its full accuracy, lug lapping should be a last resort. The concept is simple, but the results are hard to predict.
Bearing surface contact varies from rifle to rifle, and the percentage of contact doesn't always correlate with accuracy. Here's a basic primer on lapping the lugs.
We have been talking about trying to get to that maximum accuracy potential of our rifles and invariably when techniques are discussed that are supposed to help us get there someone brings up lapping the bolt lugs.
Taking a rifle from the box to its full accuracy potential is a process of many individual steps that cannot be rushed. Often someone throws out a term or procedure like “Lap the lugs!” or “Bed the action!” as if this is the magic voodoo to cure all the accuracy ills.
Well, welcome to reality, boys and girls; many times what some people consider as required for good accuracy is completely unnecessary and may actually harm your rifle, to say nothing of ruining your accuracy. Every rifle is an individual unto itself and what works for one might not work for another.
Lug lapping, in my experience, is the one procedure that is best left as the very last resort, and then it may be best to leave it out completely. Improper lug-lapping can ruin a bolt-action rifle. The concept is simple and logical. To promote the best circumstances for accuracy, the rifle bolt when in battery under a loaded round should be solidly and evenly held in the action, true with the central axis of the bore and holding the cartridge case at minimum headspace.
Several factors are involved here; the face of the bolt must be square with the long axis of the bolt (some say the firing pin axis, but if the bolt was drilled true, they should be one in the same), the chamber must be cut aligned with the bore, the barrel and receiver must be mated properly, etc.
If any one of these things is botched then you can lap the lugs until they disappear, it won’t matter a bit. Lapping is the act of using some type of abrasive compound on the bearing surfaces of the bolt lugs to cut away metal to try to get the bearing surface of the lug in as close to full contact as possible with the mating surface in the receiver. Lapping can be done on precision machinery, but for the most part shooters use the compound/work-the-action method to cut the bearing surfaces.
Here is where we start getting into trouble; how much contact is “enough?” We have seen rifles that shot wonderfully with about 50% contact on the lugs, guns that shot “ho-hum” with 90% contact and several guns that were brought in ruined from too much lapping.
Modern rifle bolts such as those from Remington, Winchester and Savage with modern steels will lap differently than those from old Mausers, where the heat treating is different. What is important to remember is that changing one thing in the precision dimensions of a rifle may have unexpected effects on other dimensions. Proper chamber fit and headspace must also be considered if we are going to muck about with bolt fit in the receiver.
When we build a custom rifle “from the ground up” we try to get the action right first, then chamber, thread and fit a barrel. Lapping the bolt lugs for maximum contact is one of the operations we perform when we are getting the bolt and action ready, along with truing the action surfaces, squaring the bolt face, smoothing the bolt ways, squaring off the receiver face (all of which must be done before the lugs are lapped) and on Mausers, grinding the rear tang for a lower profile.
The lapping is done with a special jig and spud and once we get above 80% contact we stop. So far it seems to be working; one Ruger old model 77 action we barreled in 6.5-284 Norma that received our standard action treatment produces five-shot groups at 300 yards with handloads that measure .775” center to center.
I am convinced that lug lapping alone in this instance had almost nothing to do with this superb level of accuracy, rather the combination of materials we used and all of the treatments and procedures together we followed in the building culminated in a very accurate finished product.
I have been asked many times to give the proper technique for lapping bolt lugs and I’m sorry, but I will not publish such information, for the simple reason that this procedure can so quickly ruin a rifle. There are several write-ups on the Internet and the various forums found there and some of the lapping kits sold through gunsmithing firms such as Brownells provide this information, but I will not.
As I have said, I believe that lug lapping is the “last resort” in working a rifle for accuracy and may or may not deliver the results one is looking for. If your rifle is not shooting to suit you it would be my guess that lapping the lugs would be pretty far down the list of possible fixes for the problem.
After all, take a look at any model 788 Remington, with its nine rear-locking lugs. I’ve never heard of anyone trying to lap those lugs and the 788 is one of the most accurate rifle designs ever made.
All too often we look for the “magic bullet” to make our rifles shoot better, looking for the easy solution instead of the smart solution. Sometimes we need to accept reality and realize that it might not be the gun that needs help. Give it some thought.
When we reached Krasnodar in the afternoon, a city of some 150,000, we were met by the forestry people and took off in a couple of Pobeda cars to the hunting lodge, some 200 kilometers away. We arrived there too late for any hunting, but we were set down to an excellent dinner, a lot better than we'd had on the train. After much good talk and almost as much drinking (Jim again proved his prowess), we hit the hay – we'd be going hunting early in the morning.
The weather had improved markedly, this far south – we awoke to a sunny sky, the temperature a cool 40 degrees F. or so, and little wind. Our guides and beaters were assembling as we stepped outside, and we had our first look at the guns we'd be using on the stags. These were 18-inch barreled 3-shot autoloading carbines, the magazine/guard hinged at the front to drop down for loading.
Loading was a little tricky, even for the guides on occasion – the cartridges had to be forced into the magazine lips from directly above – which was awkward – or fed through the receiver from the top and on into the rear of the magazine. The Medved carbine is gas-operated, the slender actuating rod free-floating and lying above the barrel.
Amber takes practice aim with the Medved 9.3 carbine, his be-capped and uniformed forester looking on.
The drive has started. My forester/guide and I can hear the distant shouts and calls of the beaters.
The cartridges, we were told, were 9mm, and that's all anyone there knew about them; muzzle velocity, bullet weight, trajectory figures were unknown. Subsequent checking showed this load to be, in fact, a 9.3mm, a Russian round derived from the Finnish 9.3×53 Rimmed, with power about like the 35 Remington.
Even in bright sunlight a sheet of flame a foot long was easily visible at the muzzle whenever these Medved carbines were fired! Though I had indicated early on that I'd need a scope, one had to be sent for, which didn't take long, happily – the long train ride had lost us a day or more of hunting time, as would the return trip to Moscow, a 29-hour stretch.
The straight-tube scope, which appeared to be about 2x, had a very narrow field of view. The reticle was, of course, the beloved European type – a sharply-pointed broad post with a thick bar coming in from either side.
A target was set up about 70 yards away, and each of us – as required in European hunting everywhere – managed to connect adequately with it.
Russian Red Deer The Red Forest, a vast acreage of hardwoods and deciduous trees, was entirely leafless, affording us no cover. Most boles were only about 8 inches in diameter, and when the stags did appear they had scented or seen us well before.
Nearly all shots had to be made by aiming up or down the numerous cart tracks. Fortunately there was no shortage of deer – we must have seen hundreds, many of them great stags, but often too far away for the fire-belching 9.3mm loads. In our day-and-a-half of hunting five excellent deer were killed by us foreigners, plus another by our escort, Andrei Stepoura, and two or three more by the head forester and his son.
We could have shot others, of course – hunting is a commercial operation in much of Russia, and we were told that the 1978 quota for the Red Forest area would necessitate the shooting of a few dozen more stags and cows. Some 45 deer were taken during the regular season. Two of our stags came close to making the Gold Medal class (in the CIC European system) but all were noble beasts, both in body size and racks. Dewey Thorns was the first to score, then came Barlow and Carmichel; your aging scribe came last, and about at the last.
John Amber with his red deer. The trophy is both large and heavy. It lacks symmetry in the crown area, but scores well in any league.
No question, the stag hunting was excellent indeed in the Red Forest in spite of non-ideal conditions. Had there been thick cover, as would have prevailed in September or early October – when we were supposed to have hunted – I'm sure we'd have done even better.
Fearing red tape and border-crossing problems, not to mention the chore of lugging four rifles around Europe, we didn't bring our favorites into Russia. We wished we had, though, and as we learned, there'd have been no trouble.
The 9.3mm round is about a 150-yard load, and I gazed at my guide in wonder the first morning as we spotted several stags walking in single file some 350 meters away (the guide's guess, not mine) on the far side of a great open meadow.
“Shoot,” he told me as I didn't even bother to raise the carbine, so I shot – a guide's command in Europe is just about that. I held a good couple of feet over the deer's shoulder, but I missed. I probably dropped that bullet about as much under the deer's belly as I'd held over.
All too soon the stag party was over – the company and the food had been excellent, and Carmichel was learning to curse in Russian. That was fair enough; he'd taught the Tula engineer a rough phrase or two in English.
