A 23-year-old man will not face charges for shooting and killing another man in April in Manchester because it was done in self-defense.
The attorney general's office said the shooting happened when a stranger, later identified as Rodney Yancey, 43, walked into a Bell Street apartment belonging to Roy Nagle's girlfriend.
Investigators said Nagle and the residents of the apartment repeatedly asked Yancey to leave, but he stayed on the porch after he was kicked off. Yancey then pulled a knife when Nagle shoved him after continuing to ask him to leave, investigators said. |

No more victims.
That is the motto of Faith Sample, whose new business, She Shoots Back, is teaming up with National Rifle Association to host an event entitled “Refuse To Be A Victim.”
The self-defense class, which will be held Saturday, Jan. 13, was borne out of a desire to equip everyone with basic safety methods.
“‘Refuse To Be A Victim’ teaches methods to avoid dangerous situations and prevent criminal confrontations,” said Sample. “Seminar participants will be presented with a variety of common-sense crime prevention and personal safety strategies and devices that may be integrated into their personal, home, automobile, telephone, technological and travel safety.” |

In a significant judgment, a bench of Justice Subhash Vidyarthi of the Allahabad High Court ordered the release of licensed Glock pistol and four cartridges of the petitioner after he fired at the plaintiff in self-defence. The court said although Section 30 declares violation of the conditions of the license as an offence, the lower court had not specified the violation of the Arms Act. |

On the heels of a legislative session that included several new firearm bills, Minnesota improved its rankings on two major state-level rankings of gun safety.
The Giffords Law Center’s annual Gun Law Scorecard rated Minnesota a solid B, up from a C+ the prior year. Explaining the better grade, Giffords cited the state’s new Extreme Risk Protection Order, which allows authorities to temporarily remove guns from people that the courts deem to be a danger to themselves or others.
The organization also cited new expanded background checks and heavy investments in community violence prevention. Overall, Minnesota’s rank improved from 18th to 15th in the nation on Giffords’ scale. |

Events unfolding today underscore the need for an easily carried tool to survive a criminal attack until first-responders arrive. A firearm, with training and practice, is the ultimate solution, but not everyone is comfortable carrying a gun, and not every situation calls for a deadly force response. There is a chemical alternative for those vulnerable family members or close friends, or as an option for defense where lethal force is not appropriate. |

Welcome to today’s Photo of the Day! Debuting in 1964, the Smith & Wesson large-frame Model 57 revolver answered the call by pioneering gun writers like Elmer Keith to fill the ballistic gap between .357 and .44 Magnums. Chambering Remington’s hot new .41 Magnum cartridge, the 6-shot Model 57 packed robust firepower in a fashionable full-sized frame with iconic S&W polish. Offering steady velocity over 1300fps with hunting loads or knockdown authority in self-defense, its impressive trajectory and accuracy allowed the Model 57 to tackle everything from whitetail to grizzlies while recoiling less than a bruising .44. |

In a Dec. 22 press release, the Attorney General’s Office trumpeted the fact that it had successfully defended the state’s assault weapons ban in federal court.
But not only has the final chapter in that case, Capen and National Association for Gun Rights v. Campbell, not yet been written, there is no end in sight — here and across the country — to the battles spawned by the Supreme Court’s 2022 ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.
In Bruen, the Supreme Court refined the Second Amendment jurisprudence it had previously laid out in District of Columbia v. Heller and McDonald v. Chicago, clarifying that it believed that appellate courts had gone astray in interpreting Heller. |

Just a decade ago, virtually every state in the country required that one obtain a concealed carry permit (CCL) to carry a concealed firearm in public. But since 2013, permitless carry (also called Constitutional carry) has become the norm across the U.S. with, as of January 2024, 28 states now allowing the practice, leaving just 22 states that still require concealed carry permits. In the coming years, thanks to landmark court cases, like New york v. Bruen, setting gun-friendly precedents, that latter number is likely to dwindle. But before you go strapping your favorite handgun to your belt with an IWB holster, it’s a good idea to make sure you live in one of the states that has passed Constitutional carry laws. Let’s review. |

Despite a supermajority in the Legislature, Florida is the worst Republican controlled state in the nation for Second Amendment rights. It remains the only red state with an under-21 purchase and concealed carry ban, a mandatory waiting period, red flag laws, numerous gun-free zones, and a blanket ban on open carry. Furthermore, many in Republican leadership are quite open about their anti-gun points of view.
Some will immediately push back and argue lawmakers just passed “Constitutional Carry,” but anyone who knows a single thing about the legislation would confirm how watered down the bill was. It’s wholly inaccurate to refer to the law as “Constitutional Carry” when it failed to also lift the complete ban on the open carry of firearms |

In orders Friday, the court added the blockbuster case involving Trump as well as a second fight over abortion access to a docket stacked with high profile cases seeking to undercut the power of federal regulators and expand gun rights. |

Eviction proceedings were dropped after an attorney who advocates for renters rights got involved and a state representative questioned whether Wallace could be evicted.
Regardless, Wallace feared an eviction or legal battle would keep her and her daughters from finding another place to live.
State Rep. Carrie Isaac (R-Wimberly) saw the story on FOX 4 and began fighting on Wallace’s behalf.
"It made me very angry," Isaac said. "No one should be denied their Second Amendment right just because they live in public housing. It's unconstitutional." |
