Tampa Bank Manager Fired For Concealed Carry
From TBO.com:
The 37-year-old Tampa resident is a single mother of three children and said she carries the gun for safety.
Ros has filed a lawsuit in circuit court against Wells Fargo Bank, which she said fired her last year from her job as manager at the bank’s Oldsmar branch. Her lawsuit says the firing violated her constitutional right to carry arms and asks for monetary damages and attorney fees.

Idaho to Repeal CCW Exemption for Politicians
From MagicValley.com:
Idaho is the only state to allow any person in an elected position — from school board member to state senator — to carry a concealed weapon without a permit.
That rule came under scrutiny when former state Rep. Mark Patterson, R-Boise, was allowed to carry a concealed weapon even after his permit was revoked last year.
California Carry Law Unconstitutional
From The Washington Post:
California law has a process for applying for a permit to carry a handgun for protection in public, with requirements for safety training, a background check, and so on. These requirements were not challenged. The statute also requires that the applicant have “good cause,†which was interpreted by San Diego County to mean that the applicant is faced with current specific threats. (Not all California counties have this narrow interpretation.) The Ninth Circuit, in a 2-1 opinion written by Judge O’Scannlain, ruled that Peruta was entitled to Summary Judgement, because the “good cause†provision violates the Second Amendment.
This could lead to other state laws that are similar being struck down.
News Orginazation Attempting To Create Blacklist of CCW Holders Reverses Stance
Posted by Brian in News, Threat Watch on 30/Jan/2014 08:03
From Fox News:
A national newspaper chain never intended to create a multi-state database of gun owners with permits allowing them to carry concealed weapons according to its top executive, who told FoxNews.com a “poorly crafted” internal memo erroneously indicated such an idea was being planned.
Concealed Carry Mom Banned From School
From Fox News:
Tanya Mount says she was approached by a police officer from the Richmond County Board of Education at McBean Elementary School and was warned that she was about to get a criminal trespass warning.
The officer told her that the principal at the school was “scared†of her and did not want her on the school property, she told the station.
Emily Miller on Starbucks and Guns
From The Washington Times:
To be fair, Starbucks got dragged into this debate and never wanted to take a stand either way on the laws on the right to bear arms. Both the pro- and anti-Second Amendment groups have used the popular chain as a front line in the battle over gun control.
Oregon: Loaded Guns In Public Forbidden
From OregonLive.com:
“The ordinance reflects a legislative determination,” the justice wrote, “that the risk of death or serious injury to members of the public moving about in public places is increased by the threat posed by individuals who recklessly fail to unload their firearms.”
Let me get this straight. Having a loaded weapon is “reckless”?
Minimum Age For Conceled Carry Is Not 21 In Every State
I was surprised to see this map from Dustin’s Gun blog that shows a state-by-state comparison of the minimum age for a concealed carry permit. A few states allow 16 year-olds to carry but I disagree with that low age. I do think the minimum age should be no greater than 18 when those same people are allowed to vote and fight in the military.
Starbucks Buycott
From The National Journal:
The “appreciation” here stems from Starbucks’ policy of respecting state gun laws in its stores, including open-carry laws in the states that have them. Starbucks does not, however, allow its employees to carry guns, or allow guns at company headquarters in Seattle.
Colorado Concealed Carry Permits Skyrocketing
Posted by Brian in News, Threat Watch on 31/Jul/2013 13:09
From The Denver Post:
From January to June, 31,518 background checks were processed for concealed-carry permits by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, according to bureau data. For the same period last year, there were only 16,886 processed.
In addition, more background checks have been processed in the first six months of 2013 than in all of 2011 — and only 1,305 fewer than the total for all of 2012.
Arkansas Newest Member of Constitutional Carry States
From Living Not Surviving:
Constitutional carry is accompanied by a certain respect because of its legal proximity to the intentions of the Right to bear arms enumerated in the 2nd amendment, which has not authorized the barriers to gun ownership that currently exist in many states. Â Constitutional carry recognizes the individuals right to his life, and thus, the responsibility that comes with it, encouraging safer and more successful situations due to the encouragement of responsible individuals.
Illinois Legislature Overrides Veto, Approves Concealed Carry
From the AP:
Both chambers of the Legislature voted to override changes Gov. Pat Quinn made to the bill they approved more than a month ago. Even some critics of the law argued it was better to approve something rather than risk the courts allowing virtually unregulated concealed weapons in Chicago, which has endured severe gun violence in recent months.
