“Gun In Oven Goes Off, Wounds Woman
Police: Boyfriend Hid Gun In Oven

SAN ANTONIO -- A decision to cook a midnight snack ended up being a bad idea recently for a 29-year-old San Antonio woman.

Police said some friends of the woman's boyfriend took a gun over to the couple's apartment late Thursday.

When Roxanne Perez saw the .357-caliber pistol, she told her boyfriend she didn't want the weapon in their home, so he hid it inside the oven without Perez's knowledge.

When Perez later went to cook some food in the oven, the gun went off, wounding her in the hip.

“Violin, don't mess with the gun people..........they have gunz.”

“It's the boyfriend she should get rid of.”

“Dumb as a post.”

“Guns don't kill people.

Pre-heating kills people.”

“What makes you think that there is an NRA member involved?”

“I guess her boyfriend 'banged' her”

“He SHOT his load.”

“FLINT, Michigan (AP) -- -- A group of children hunting for Easter eggs Saturday during a church event found two loaded handguns outside an elementary school.

Flint police said officers were called to the scene and also recovered a BB gun and a broken toy gun on the grounds of Gundry Elementary School. No one was injured, Sgt. Michael Coote said.

One of the guns discharged when it was dropped, according to a police report, but it was unclear who dropped it.

The pastor of Ruth Street Baptist Church told WJRT-TV that one of the handguns had a bullet in the chamber, and the other handgun's clip had bullets in it.

"It's terrible that something like this has happened," Pastor Namon Marshall told the station.

Coote said he did not know how long the guns had been in the park.

Police opened an investigation after confiscating the weapons.”

A gunshot sounded among the squeals and giggles at Ruth Street Church of God's annual Easter egg hunt Saturday in Flint. All eyes turned to an 11-year-old girl who had dropped a loaded gun outside Gundry Elementary School.

It was one of two weapons found outside the school, along with a BB gun and toy gun, Flint police said.

NaShalyn Porter, one of the children taking part in the egg hunt, found one of the loaded guns in a rotting tree trunk outside the school.

It dropped out of her hands when another child bumped her as she ran to give it to an adult, said her mother, Najia Elerson-Porter, 34, of Flint. No one was injured.

<snip>
The children had told Marshall that after the shot was fired, they saw a man go into the field, reach into another rotting tree and retrieve a few guns.”

“Ok guys, these are wonderful stories, I am glad you saw fit to share them. I'm sure I would have missed them without your help. But I just have to ask, what's the connection between these stories and the NRA??”

“It only took you 24 minutes last time.”

“You didn't have an answer that time either did you?”

“Sure I did.”

“The NRA makes it easy for anyone and everyone including the wrong element to get access to guns. The NRA is wholly responsible for guns getting into wrong hands.”

“LoL another post good for a LAUGH in the morning.”

“Yeah, sure, the NRA buys buttloads of guns and covertly distributes them to criminals.

As much as I detest the NRA, they're NOT the problem.”

“The NRA IS THE PROBLEM.”

“Yippy Skippy! Ohio is now a concealed carry state!”

“PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (AP) -- Before she met her husband, Linda Davis had never even fired a gun.

Eventually, though, Gary Davis told her she would have to join the National Rifle Association if they were to get married.

Five years later, Linda Davis has gotten bullets from her husband for Valentine's Day, and the couple even schedules one of their yearly vacations around the NRA convention.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A U.S. congressman was briefly detained at a Kentucky airport Tuesday after authorities found a loaded gun in his bag at a screening checkpoint, authorities said.

Rep. John Hostettler, R-Indiana, "completely forgot" he had the gun in his bag as he prepared to take a US Airways flight to Washington for the first day of work after a two-week recess, a spokesman for the congressman said.

A Homeland Security Department official said Hostettler had a loaded 9 mm Glock pistol in his bag at Louisville International Airport .

The congressman said he did not know the gun was in his bag and apologized, the official said.

Hostettler's spokesman said it was typical for NRA members to lose track of where their guns are. "Shucks, how can you expect me to keep track of all my guns? It's not like it's anything important."”

“BUMP

C'mon, this is a great story.”

“Hang 'em high! Gun laws are there for a reason. There should not be gun ownership. Only responsable gun ownership.

Now that Ohio is a concealed carry state I am off to shop for a new Glock. Gawd I love America!”

“What model you looking at? I'd get a CCW license, too, but it costs over $200 including training and licensing. So, for now, I'm content with keeping it in my car. G26 is my carry gun.”

“I still like the 17 but would also consider getting the 19 for concealed carry. The system they have here seems pretty good. You do have take training which runs from $200-$300 and like a $45 app fee. You have to take a range test as well as a written I think.”

“I'm thinking they'll probably prosecute. Or at least they should... to give the appearance that they abide by the rule of law.

Now if he was a Southern politician or a Western politicain.... maybe not. We're big fans of the double standard in this neighborhood. If some little old lady gets caught with a pair of nail-clippers she'd be looking at hard time, LOL”

“What load in the 26 Mutt?”

“9mm (I use 115gr hollowpoints), same as g19 & g17. It's the baby 9mm Glock.”

“Yeah I new the 9mm part, I carried one as an ankle gun at an agency I used to work for. I was curious if you used CorBon, Speer, Federal, etc. We had to carry 147gr HydraShok in both the 17 and the backup gun, which was too heavy imo.”

“#&%!$, they'll never prosecute a republican, even if he discharged the gun on the plane.”

“Gloucester man accused of killing would-be thief in his yard

Newsday

WOODBURY, N.J. -- A Gloucester County man was charged Tuesday with murdering a man he caught breaking into his backyard shed.

Authorities said Robert J. Clark Jr., 33, heard a noise in the back yard of his Franklin Township home around 10 p.m. Monday. When he looked out the window, he saw two men trying to take the all-terrain vehicle he stored there.

Clark tried to call police but had phone problems, so, authorities said, he shot one of the men in the chest.

William Hamilton, 39, of Clementon, died from the wound.

The other suspected would-be thief, Dwain Jones, ran away, with Clark shooting at him as he did, authorities said.

Clark was charged with murder, aggravated assault and a weapons offense. He was released Tuesday from the Gloucester County Jail on $50,000 bail.

Jones, 42, also of Franklin Township, was arrested Tuesday and charged with burglary and theft and was being held on $5,000 bail.

Ed Sholinsky, a spokesman for the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office, said New Jersey law does not allow use of deadly force to protect personal property.”

“I'm a gun owner, hunter and a Canuck version of a redneck - but I don't think I'd kill anyone for what is in my shed. JMHO.”

“I notice you don't include 'NRA member' in your credentials which only proves the point.”

“Gosh, I went back and read that again and I still don't see that he was an NRA member. Are you saying that anyone who does something you don't like with a gun is an NRA member?

I don't think I'd shoot someone over that, but since I've never been in that position, I can't say for sure. I can say that if I was on his jury, I wouldn't convict him, at least not given the information I have.”

“That's what ya get for trying to take stuff that ain't yours. I also wouldn't convict him, if what's in the article is the whole story.”

“Carl Rowan the rabid anti-gun reporter shot some kid for taking a swim in his backyard, about the same time of night except they were only stealing a swim in his pool not stealing an ATV.

Differences - Carl Rowan had less provocation, ... and was a worse shot, the teenager survived.”

“You wouldn’t convict the guy?

So all that talk about enforcing the laws we already have on the books is just a bunch of gobbledygook?

Typical...”

“Martha Moxely was murdered with a golf club.

Now if Golf equipment was treated like firearms ... (snip)

Golfers would constantly be attacked and vilified by the politically active, anti-golf crowd. These groups would stop at nothing, including radically distorting facts, to meet their ultimate goal: the prohibition of ownership of golf equipment by civilians in the U.S.

In some states, golfers would be limited to the purchase of one golf club a month. Who needs more than one club, anyway? Anyone possessing more than one club would be labeled a "golf-nut" who owned an "arsenal" of clubs.

The anti-golf crowd would scream for a ban on Big Bertha drivers, because they can hit a ball too far. At the same time, they would scream for a ban on lob wedges, because they are short and easily concealable.

New clubs would only be legally available through licensed dealers, with strict, federal oversight provided by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Golf Clubs.

Airlines would allow golfers to travel with their clubs, provided they were declared upon arrival and checked. Attempting to carry clubs on board an aircraft would be a federal crime. Golf balls would have to be secured in a separate, locked container, and no more than five pounds of golf balls could be checked.

Golf club manufacturers that wanted to sell their clubs in Maryland would have to hit three balls with each club, said balls to be provided to the Maryland State Police for high-tech "fingerprinting" and cataloging.

Manufacturers that wanted to sell in California would have to "drop test" their clubs. This would involve dropping every type of club to be sold, in every possible configuration of grip, shaft and head, onto concrete and ruining it.

Cutting the shaft of any golf club to a length of less than 18" would be a federal crime, as would the possession of such a "sawed-off club".

All clubs would have to be engraved by the manufacturer with a unique serial number.

Driving ranges would be subject to closure whenever homes are built within a mile.

Whenever there was a terrorist attack on the U.S., Kmart would halt sales of clubs and balls in an attempt to "insure the safety of the public". Golfers could then begin a boycott of Kmart, contributing to its demise and forcing it to file for bankruptcy protection.

In Massachusetts, golfers would have to have a license to buy balls.

In all states except Vermont, a citizen would have to have a permit to carry any golf club that was hidden from view but readily accessible. Some states would allow golfers to carry clubs in the open, but they would be subject to arrest for disturbing the peace.

All non-permit holders would have to be very careful when transporting clubs and balls. They would have to be in separate, locked containers and positioned in the vehicle so as to not be readily accessible.

Anti-golf politicians, unable to realize their agenda through legislation, would resort to suing golf club manufacturers for creating a public nuisance.

Hitting balls on your own property could be a crime.

In New York, allowing a caddy that is under the age of 18 to carry your clubs would be a crime, as would teaching anyone under 18 to handle a club.

A convicted felon, or anyone convicted of a violent misdemeanor, would be prohibited from possessing golf clubs for life.

A golfer would have to be 18 to buy a long club, but 21 to buy a short one. Likewise, a golfer could buy balls when they were 18, but would have to wait until they were 21 if they intended to hit them with a short club.

It would be illegal to buy a club for someone who could not legally purchase one.

If a golfer were forced to live in public housing, they might have to agree not to own clubs or balls. They could also be subject to club searches.

If a golfer that wanted to own a machineclub (a club capable of hitting more than one ball with a single swing) would have to go through an enormous amount of paperwork, be fingerprinted, have a background check by the FBI, and pay a $200 federal transfer tax.

A golfer could ship a club to a clubsmith for repair, but short clubs would have to be sent by air.

The anti-golf groups would be calling for the development of "smart clubs". These futuristic, high-tech clubs would allow themselves to be swung only by their owners, as long as the batteries weren't dead.

Hypocritical, liberal talk show hostesses would call for a ban on civilian possession of golf clubs, while employing bodyguards who regularly engage in the game.

There would be a waiting period of up to 15 days in some states to take possession of legally-purchased clubs.

Children would be dragged from school in handcuffs for possessing tiny facsimiles of clubs and would be subject to suspension for drawing pictures of clubs or swinging objects as one would swing a club.

Ownership or possession of short clubs would be prohibited in Washington, DC -- unless you worked for the government.

There would be no legally-owned clubs in Japan, but all adult males in Switzerland would be required to keep machineclubs.

Anti-club groups would focus attention on the criminal misuse of clubs, but would totally ignore the millions of times each year clubs are used legitimately.

Journalist Carl Rowan would decry the private ownership of clubs. Then he would use his own privately-owned club to hit balls at teenagers on his property.

Churches and civic groups would sponsor club buy-back and amnesty turn-ins. Clubs collected through these efforts would be melted down -- or simply disappear from the police property room, likely into someone's private club collection.

There would be bans on production and ownership of "assault clubs". These clubs would be functionally no different than other clubs, they would just look like they could hit more balls.

The first act of fascist dictators would be to take the clubs away from the populace.

The anti-club crowd would try the backdoor strategy of having the EPA close down driving ranges because the core of a golf ball is toxic when consumed.

Hollywood liberals would condemn the private ownership of clubs, all the while making fortunes producing movies that glorify wanton golf club violence. These movies would contain egregious technical errors concerning clubs, such as showing a ball in flight while still in its box.

A British-owned club manufacturer would sign onto a traitorous deal with the US government in exchange for special consideration in federal club purchase contracts.

Pickup trucks would have golf club racks in the rear windows.

Anti-club groups would cook data and declare that home-owners are 43 times more likely to hit a friend or a family member with their club than to use it properly.

People would be relatively free to own and use clubs, and could even send them through the US mail, until the government passed the massive Golf Club Control Act.

Some employers would prohibit clubs in vehicles on their property. If golfers worked for such a company and wanted to go to the local range to hit balls during lunch, they would have to drive home, get their clubs, go to the range, and drive back home to drop the clubs off again before returning to work.

The United Nations would sponsor massive club collections and would run the clubs over with tanks. They would condemn the US for not participating in global small-clubs control.

Nitwitted anti-club politicians would carelessly swing clubs over the heads of reporters during press conferences while espousing the dangers of club ownership. When questioned about their handling of the clubs, they would respond "I knew the club was empty. The State Police would never hand me a loaded club".

Senator McCain would introduce legislation to close a non-existent club show loophole.

School golf teams and tournaments would be a thing of the past. Old-timers would fondly remember the days when students would actually take their clubs to school for practice, but the thought of using them to hurt someone was the farthest things from their minds.

Yet, golfers would be told they should feel lucky, because in many countries there is a complete ban on golf club ownership”

There's a difference b/t the government arresting and charging someone, and me determining whether or not they should be convicted. If they have reason to believe that he broke the law he should be arrested and charged.”

“No, a rabid anti-gun reporter who has an illegal gun in his posession.

because the law is for other people, not me I'm special attitude of many anti-gun proponents like Rosie O'Donnell and Edward Kennedy who both employ armed guards. Do not blame Kennedy one bit for the guards given the family history, but do fault the hypocrisy that others do not need the same level of protection he needs.”

“NEW YORK (CNN) -- New York City police have uncovered an arsenal of weapons, ammunition and home-made bombs in a raid on a Staten Island home, a police spokeswoman said.

According to Officer Jannara Everleth, the NYPD Drug Enforcement Task Force on Wednesday entered the single-family home and discovered the stash of munitions, including seven homemade bombs, 10,000 rounds of ammunition and 13 guns.

Police closed off a four-block area and evacuated homes surrounding the house as a precaution while the bomb squad removed the weaponry, Everleth said.

Police arrested Albert Boshi, 40, and Anna Dicamillo, 39, described as his common-law wife. They also removed the couple's 3-year-old son from the house. Both Boshi and Dicamillo are charged with three counts of criminal possession of a weapon and endangering the welfare of a child.”

“Once again I have to ask you idiots, what's the connection to NRA?”

“Albert Boshi is listed as an active member of the Staten Island Chapter of the NRA.”

“I'm assuming its the same guy.”
