House Bill 571, which was introduced by Joe Uecker, 66th District Representative, and is co sponsored by 30 other representatives, would amend section 2923.126 of the Ohio Revised Code. The law would not allow private employers to prohibit a concealed carry permit holder from storing the employee's handgun in a locked motor vehicle on the employer's premises.

Alabama: Hunting season ignites economic engine
Tue, 07 Sep 2010 09:48:06 GMT
Just about everyone knows Alabama's football season began Saturday. But the state has another season that also started Sept. 4. The sound of shotguns thundered across the Alabama countryside as dove season opened up throughout most of the state. Even though it's officially still summer, it was the opening salvo of an autumn rite that consumes many Alabama sportsmen for the next six to eight months. But it's also an economic engine that provides a welcome influx of cash to much of West Alabama.
Canada: Sorry, Jack. The gun registry can't be saved
Tue, 07 Sep 2010 09:47:20 GMT
Jack Layton has a plan for the gun registry a compromise all Canadians can live with. He wants to drop the criminal prohibition for first time non compliers, drop registration fees and respect native treaties and the privacy rights of all gun owners. Sadly for Layton, his plan is a fiction, a farce. His proposal to save the gun registry requires him to introduce a compromise bill, which will then need to be debated, read three times, approved by the Senate and then given Royal Assent ...all in the two days before the registry's fate will be decided. Of course, Layton an intelligent, seasoned politician knows his plan doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of working. But that's OK. Because he doesn't intend for it to succeed. It's just a political ploy. The ploy is aimed not at the government or even the other opposition parties, but at a third of his own caucus the 12 NDP MPs who voted against keeping the registry last time and who are expected to do the same this month. Layton knows that these 12 NDP members, representing rural ridings where the registry is despised, cannot support the registry as is and hope to be re elected.
Canadians have outlets to voice their opposition to long-gun registry
Tue, 07 Sep 2010 09:46:33 GMT
Manitoba MP Candice Hoeppner's bill C 391, designed to eliminate the long gun registry, has become an extraordinary political football. Most, if not all, hunters and law abiding firearms owners ask the common sense question, "Does the long gun registry actually stop crime?" Those who support the registry often respond with emotion; "Well, if the many millions spent on the long gun registry just save one life it will be worth it." Common sense Canadians reason more lives would be saved if the funds spent on the long gun registry were put into dealing with the root causes of crime plus more effective policing.
Canada: Parliamentary departures may play a role in coming gun registry vote
Tue, 07 Sep 2010 09:45:31 GMT

Gang violence and the mayor`s feeble and futile gun laws
Fri, 03 Sep 2010 11:05:13 GMT
In response to the escalation in gang-related shootings in Portland, Mayor Sam Adams is proposing actions that are typical of those with liberal leanings. Rather than blaming the criminals, he`s blaming the guns, and he`s proposing five ordinances, some of which will restrict the gun rights of law-abiding citizens and will also likely end up in court because they violate Oregon`s firearms pre-emption law.

Arizona: OHV Restrictions in Kaibab National Forest Allow for Big Game Retrieval
Fri, 20 Aug 2010 00:00:00 GMT
The Tusayan Ranger District of the Kaibab National Forest has issued a draft plan for managing off-highway vehicle (OHV) use. OHV use will be restricted to those roads and trails designated in the plan, depending on which management alternative is selected following public review and comment. Tusayan Ranger District offers four plan alternatives for managing OHV use. Alternative 1 is the status quo and is used as a baseline to compare the changes to be made in OHV use by the other alternatives. Alternatives 2 and 3 allow motorized big game retrieval up to a mile off of a designated road or trail. Alternative 4 allows no such exemption for hunters using OHVs for game retrieval. Comments on the plan are being accepted until August 30th and can be emailed to comments-southwestern-kaibab-tusayan@fs.fed.us. The plan can be found online by going to http://fs.usda.gov/goto/kaibab/projects and look for the Tusayan Travel Management Project. If you have questions about the plan or need additional information, you may call 928-635-5649.
