and ammo is broken

For more than four decades, Illinois' Firearm Owners
Identification card has been viewed as a first line of defense for protecting
the public by trying to keep guns out of the hands of the most dangerous in
society.
But a first-ever state audit of the program has found the safety net weakened by bureaucratic loopholes and erroneous and incomplete data that could allow the seriously mental ill and others to keep or get a FOID card to buy firearms and ammunition. ...

New national alliance for armed citizens
announced: ACA
|
|
A new alliance of industry and armed citizens has been
announced with the goal of providing ordinary gun owners the opportunity to
“practice, train and become familiar with the use of concealed carry handguns
and other personal defense firearms.”
The Armed Citizen Alliance (ACA) should get immediate attention from Pacific Northwest shooters whose primary purpose for owning a gun is personal protection, and there are hundreds of thousands of them. In Washington, some 360,000 citizens have active concealed pistol licenses. Neighboring Oregon, as this column recently noted, has more than 152,000 licensed citizens. ...

International Association for the Protection of Civilian Arms Rights (IAPCAR)
added Russia's The Right to Arms as its newest member working to protect and
expand the right to keep and bear arms around the globe. Right to Arms joins a
coalition of 20 other groups from 11 countries on five different continents that
represent millions of firearm owners and citizens concerned about civilian arms
rights.
"IAPCAR is quickly expanding as the premier international arms rights organization with groups like Right to Arms as new allies in securing the human right to keep and bear arms," said IAPCAR executive director, Philip Watson. "The push for civilian arms rights continues to grow at a fast pace as this week we've added ANARMA of Spain and now Right to Arms of Russia as new members," Watson observed. "It is a great honor for our group to join IAPCAR," said Right to Arms chairman Maria Butina. As Russia's highest profile gun rights advocacy organization, Right to Arms also runs the popular website (http://vooruzhen.ru/). Julianne Versnel, director of operations for the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and Alan Gottlieb, Chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA), established IAPCAR to serve as a vehicle to unify arms rights groups against international threats to the human right of self-defense and the legitimate use of guns. ...

Sign of the times: In West Seattle, criminals
are on notice
|
|
Some industrious West Seattle resident has fashioned a couple
of crude signs and stapled them as a warning to residential burglars and other
ne’er-do-wells with this message: “Welcome Criminals. Loaded guns are waitin’.”
Roughly translated the season is open, there is no license required and no bag limit. The sign, posted at the intersection of 30th and Henderson in Westwood, leaves no doubt that its author is sending a message. A story published on the popular West Seattle Blog is matter-of-fact and not nearly as colorful as many of the comments in response from readers. ...
