Gun shows are frequent events and usually laid back, but the one staged on Aug. 20 at the former McClellan Air Force Base near Sacramento had a noticeably frenzied ambiance. While many attendees just wandered from table to table, looking at firearms for sale, others were lined up five and six deep at a booth against the wall -- one with hundreds of plastic cases, each filled with 500 or more rounds of ammunition and priced well under retail store prices.

Small clues tell you Andrew McNamara has a thing for skeet shooting.

His dog's name is Briley, after the manufacturer of the tube set McNamara uses to adjust the gauge on his gun.

His email address uses the phrase "hundred straight," which is the number of targets a shooter must hit to post a perfect score.

And soon, the JBER airman will be wearing a flashy ring that identifies him as a world skeet shooting champion.

A week after bagging a pair of grouse while hunting with friends on base, McNamara won the .410 bore title Oct. 8 at the National Shooting Complex in San Antonio, Texas.

After about 20 minutes of council members sharing their thoughts on the proposed ordinance, no council members made a motion to approve a resolution enacting the ordinance.

There's a battle brewing in one Metro Detroit community, and it's all over the gunfire residents have to listen to.

A homeowner in the Forest Ridge neighborhood in Howell decided to build an outdoor gun range in his backyard, and that has his neighbors worried for their safety and irritated over the noise.

"I believe people have a right to do what they want on their land, but at some point, it can't impede other people from doing what they want on their land, too," he said.

Residents have been calling the Livingston County Sheriff's Department to complain about the noise and the possible danger.

"He does have the right to shoot," officials said at the meeting.

A gun control initiative that would expand background checks to all private gun sales in Nevada also portends something else: The �Californication of Nevada.� After all, the initiative is not Nevadan in its funding, the �bulk� of which comes from Michael Bloomberg�s Everytown for Gun Safety. Nor is the initiative Nevadan in its conception. Rather, the Los Angles Times posits Nevada as a state chosen by external forces to be �the latest testing site for Michael R. Bloomberg�s attempt to pass a law requiring background checks for gun sales between private parties, including those conducted over the Internet.�
