They’re sworn to uphold the law, but some Iowa sheriff’s aren’t happy with new rules that take away their power to decide who can pack heat and who can’t. Until now, sheriff’s have been able to deny people concealed/carry gun permits if they saw fit. Under the new law, they “must issue” permits to anyone [...] A federal appeals court in Washington will have the chance to examine the latest version of the District of Columbia’s gun restrictions, in a possible test of how to apply the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2008 decision in D.C. v. Heller. Lawyers for Dick Heller, a name party in the earlier case, filed a notice Thursday [...] It’s been a quiet week in Jefferson City. Legislators writing laws. Debating the budget. Training with handguns. About 16 Missouri lawmakers — along with several legislative staffers and at least one representative’s wife — are taking a firearms-training course sponsored by the bipartisan “Sportsmen’s Caucus” that will qualify them for concealed weapons permits. Tuesday’s lesson [...] These are the offspring of Heller: A woman contends her small stature makes her an appealing target for criminals but says she was turned down for a concealed-carry handgun permit by the Sacramento County sheriff. A Californian man, born without an arm below the right elbow, information pills argues that the state’s roster of “approved” [...] The number of Tennesseans licensed by the state to go armed increased by nearly 51,000 people last year — to 268,711, according to new state statistics. That’s an increase of 23 percent over the 218,004 Tennesseans with handgun-carry permits on Jan. 1, 2009.

Police said the suspect Stephen Prickett beat the woman with her own cane until she grabbed her gun from her purse and started firing. After a few days in the hospital, she’s [...] A federal judge has ruled Seattle’s ban on carrying firearms in city parks and community centers is constitutional. However, city officials said guns are not banned in Seattle parks. Last month, a King County Superior Court judge ruled the gun ban is in direct violation of Washington state’s firearm pre-emption law. “You still can bring [...] The Supreme Court suggested Tuesday it will strike down U.S. cities’ outright bans on handguns, a ruling that could establish a nationwide ownership right fervently sought by gun advocates. But the justices indicated less severe limits could survive, continuing disputes over the “right to keep and bear arms.” Chicago area residents who want handguns for [...] The coffee giant Starbucks says it won’t take issue with gun owners who take advantage of “open carry” laws and bring firearms into their restaurants. Virginia is one of the states that allow gun owners to openly carry firearms in public places.
