California�s liberal lawmakers failed in their efforts to outlaw �assault rifles,� so they now focus their attention on outlawing distinctive features of AR-15s, but creative gun-owners have once again found ways around their legislation.

Anti-gunners are reportedly furious about a recent field trip to a Woodstock, Ga., gun range by youngsters from a local private school, but the gun range owner is defending the trip, according to WSB-TV in Atlanta. The controversy ignited after images of youngsters handling firearms appeared on Facebook, the station reported. The station quoted Tammy Dorsten, owner of the Holdheide Academy in Woodstock, who said parents had approved the �hands-on� lesson that correlated with lessons about Annie Oakley and Davy Crockett, two American folk heroes. Apparently, only two students actually made the trip, and contrary to some reports, they were not pre-schoolers, but first and second-graders.

Our minions have completed their exploration of the NRA Carry Guard Expo. As we observed in Part 1, there�s a bunch going on between widely varied vendors and well over 100 seminars and training sessions. Any illusions of remotely covering it all are long gone, but we do have a few more nuggets. John Browning�s .380 ACP has long been derided for defensive use along �bigger is better� lines, particularly among American shooters. With access to the .45 ACP�another Browning invention�there�s no real mystery as to why. Modern doctrine and bullet architecture have moderated �.45ness� to some extent, but relatively deep suspicions toward JMB�s shorty 9 mm remain.

Recent reports from Savannah, Ga. suggest that turn-in organizers in that city may have been unable to meet these most basic criteria.
