So far the courts have limited guns mostly to the home. But the National Rifle Assn. is asking the Supreme Court to clarify that the right extends further.
The 2nd Amendment's "right to keep and bear arms" is proving to be a right to keep a gun at home, but so far not a right to bear a loaded firearm in public.
The Supreme Court breathed new life into the amendment when it struck down strict handgun bans in Washington and Chicago and spoke of the "inherent right of self-defense." |

The Blue Water Bridge linking Sarnia and Port Huron often is used as a shortcut by U.S. residents to the eastern states. Bail money routinely is forfeited to the Crown when those charged fail to return to Canadian court to deal with charges.
A bail hearing has yet to be held for a fourth person charged at the bridge with gun offenses in the past month.
Not every gun seizure by Canada Border Services Agency officers results in criminal charges. If criminal charges are not warranted due to the circumstances, civil action can be taken under the Customs Act. |

CINCINNATI (AP) — Shootings by police at suspects have increased sharply in Cincinnati, including three over a five-day span.
The increase comes at a time when City Council members are being asked to consider proposed budget cuts that could include more than 40 police officer layoffs.
So far, there have been nine "officer-involved" shootings — those in which officers fire guns — this year, compared with two last year and six for 2009, The Cincinnati Enquirer (http://bit.ly/pSleOi) reported Wednesday. There are normally four to six officer-involved shootings in Cincinnati during a year, police Lt. Col Vince Demasi told the newspaper. |

Police contend he was aiming for revenge. His jewelry had been stolen, and he had to show how hard he was and put a cap in the dude, or whatever the lingo is nowadays.
It was not long ago that the NBA figured to have dodged a bullet with Crittenton. His locker room standoff with Gilbert Arenas, after Arenas had displayed all manner of weaponry in front of his locker with a sign that said "pick one," wound up with both players suspended but tragedy avoided.

The man then heard someone running up his driveway. He got a pistol from his glove box and started to get out of his vehicle just as he was met by two suspects, who he told deputies were also armed and demanding money.
"It was all probably a second," the man said Monday. "It was just so fast."
Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office Lt. Tony Ivey said the homeowner was acting in self-defense when he fatally shot John Christopher Fowler, 28, of 572 Nature Walk Way, according to a written statement from the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office. |
