CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — “It’s better to have a gun and not use it than to have none when you need it.” Within the guiding principle, San Fernando City Councilor Alex F.

Patio said the competition, which will be sanctioned by the Philippine Practical Shooters Association (PPSA), aims to show the public the...

DOES ANYONE DOUBT [Jonah Goldberg ] That if 1,2,3... a dozen looters had been shot the first day New Orleans would be a better place today? (And again, I'm talking about the actual thieves not the people trying to survive). One thing that confuses the objections to the "shoot on sight" policy is that it sounds like looters will be getting shot day after day after day. You don't have to shoot on sight very long before would-be looters realize "hey, I might get shot on sight." We've now heard of multiple outrages as a result of people being stranded...

In a nation where the number of nut cases running loose seems to have increased exponentially in the past decade or so, I guess we shouldn't be surprised that a deer hunter killed six other hunters and wounded two more in Wisconsin after an argument over trespassing.And I guess it's even more surprising that incidents in which hunters deliberately shoot other hunters are rare, considering the potential for mayhem with all of those armed amateurs running loose in the woods.The closest thing I could find to the Wisconsin killings happened in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in 1994, when a local screwball...

NEW YORK The New York Times angered hundreds of freelance photographers last week when it distributed a contract some are calling "outrageous," "insulting" and just plain "sad." The contract asks freelance photographers to assign joint copyright ownership to the Times (Click for QuikCap), giving the newspaper the absolute right to exploit the photographs for the life of the copyright and collect all licensing fees, without payment to the photographer. The Times had no previous written agreement with freelancers. Photographers, copyright lawyers and industry trade groups have objected to the new contract, saying it puts the freelancer at a distinct disadvantage....

Police fear they are losing control of gun-crazy Britain Tony Thompson, crime correspondent Sunday October 5, 2003 The Observer Police demanded new controls last night to combat soaring levels of gun crime, which senior officers described as 'a cancer' spreading across Britain. The calls for urgent action came as police launched an investigation into the shooting of three men in Berkshire, days after a jeweller was shot dead in Nottingham and hit men sprayed machine-gunfire in a busy street in Hertfordshire. On Tuesday, Marian Bates was shot dead as she tried to protect her daughter from two armed robbers who...

Military: Shooters followed the rules The Associated Press Posted September 23 2003 BAGHDAD, Iraq · U.S. soldiers acted within the rules on opening fire when they shot and killed a Reuters television cameraman last month while videotaping near a U.S.-run prison on the outskirts of Baghdad, a U.S. Army officer said Monday.

Dana, a Palestinian, was filming a day after a mortar attack in which six...
