GA: Homeowner spoils teens’ attempted robbery: "Amid the commotion, the male homeowner's 8 1/2-month pregnant wife was knocked to the ground, police said, though she wasn't injured. As the suspects were fleeing toward their vehicle, the homeowner said he saw what appeared to be one of the teens brandishing a gun, so he fired his own pistol at them, striking Morris, the police report said."


SAF Wins Injunction v. Chicago Gun Range Ban: "In a 3-0 ruling issued this morning, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit has reversed a lower court ruling and ordered that court to issue a preliminary injunction against the City of Chicago on behalf of the Second Amendment Foundation that prevents the city from banning gun ranges inside city limits. “The court is making it clear that cities cannot adopt firearms ordinances that are so deliberately restrictive that they make it impossible for citizens to exercise their rights under the Second Amendment.”... Immediately after last year’s landmark SAF victory in McDonald v. City of Chicago, the city adopted a handgun ordinance that required special permits and mandated range training, but banned gun ranges inside city limits."


ATF: DoJ obstructing “Fast and Furious” probe: "The Justice Department is obstructing the congressional investigation of a U.S. law enforcement operation intended to crack down on major weapons traffickers on the Southwest border, according to the embattled leader of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives."
