The Louisiana Supreme Court will be the site of a major gunbattle in November.
Two years ago this month, New Orleans became the first city in the country to sue the gun industry for damages caused by their weapons, touching off a wave of litigation that spread to dozens of cities and counties across the nation.
But last year, the Legislature passed laws barring Louisiana cities and other municipalities from suing gun manufacturers and dealers to recoup the costs of violent crime. |

"Several communities in the Chicago area are pushing for tighter security measures in gun shops after a number of guns found at crime scenes were traced to gun-store burglaries."
"They want to force the dealers in the city out of business," said William Whistle, owner of the B&L gun shop in Elgin, which has been burglarized several times. "Then they can sit there and say, 'We cleaned up the town.'" |

An hour before the sun rose yesterday, hundreds of National Rifle Association members united for two purposes: They came to praise Charlton Heston and to try to bury Al Gore.
Heston led a raucous rally aimed at defeating Gore in next month's presidential election. He told a crowd of some 2,500 at the Palace Inn in Monroeville that Gore is a duplicitous character who would rob law-abiding citizens of the freedom to own guns.

Not-so Safe-Storage Laws
The only ones �safe� are the intruders.

"Criminal charges were dropped Wednesday in exchange for non-criminal tickets for a Milwaukee man who illegally transported a gun he kept for protection after his girlfriend was fatally shot."
"Defense attorney Jon Deitrich said in an interview Wednesday that his client, William Daniel, was wrong to stick the gun under his front car seat. Deitrich said he believed many otherwise law-abiding citizens do the same without knowing they are breaking the law."
