Homeowner who shot trespasser in Worcester is a retired police officer who displayed 'beware of owner' sign | masslive.com

A rectangle sign outside a door at the tan-colored raised ranch-style home at the top of Second Street offered a warning: "Never mind the dog. Beware of owner!"

Next to the message is a revolver, its muzzle pointed at whomever is reading the sign.

That sign, at the home of a retired Worcester police officer, is relatively new, according to Danny Arpin, a neighbor who lives a few houses down the street and had not seen it there before.

And on Sunday morning, that retired officer did use his firearm to defend himself against an alleged trespasser.

When a man trespassed at 27 Second St. early Sunday morning, the man got into a fight with the homeowner, who was trying to escort the man off his property, police said.

After the trespasser allegedly threatened to shoot the homeowner, the homeowner took out a gun he is licensed to own and fired several rounds at the man.

Francho Bradley Claims Massive Weapons Cache For 'Classified' Mission

This guy and his girl have deep ties to govt



A 59-year-old Army veteran arrested in a Massachusetts hotel with dozens of weapons claims that he assembled his arsenal as part of a “classified” mission for an unnamed government agency, according to law enforcement.

Texas native Francho Bradley and partner Adrianne Jennings were arrested at the Marriott Residence Inn in Tewksbury, Mass., on March 24th with a massive assortment of firearms and military-style equipment. Bradley claimed he had transported the stockpile to Massachusetts from Texas “because he needed them with him for his mission,” according to a police report obtained by The Lowell Sun.


When pressed by detectives about the stash of guns in his room, Francho responded that “he can’t tell us what he does for work or why he has all the guns with him, but that he is down in this area working for a government agency that is dealing with a virus,” according to the report.

Francho told police that had served as an EOD tech during his time in the military and currently works as a contractor Ensyme Engineering, which claims the Department of Energy and Centers for Disease Control as clients. He also made a number of bizarre claims regarding his public service, including a suspicious stint with the Los Angeles Police Department:

North Georgia school board votes to allow staff to carry guns | News | news-daily.com

Parents who support arming teacher say it just makes sense. There are five public schools in the county and each one has an armed resource officer. However, some parents say that's not nearly enough to cover a sprawling campus like Fannin High School.

"I have five grandchildren and it makes me feel better to know we're not having to wait on law enforcement to get here. although they do a wonderful job, they're not everywhere at the same time, they can't be," said Jack Taylor who lives in Fannin County.

Teachers and school staff who volunteer to carry a weapon will have to undergo a training program, one that is approved by the superintendent and the sheriff. Still, some parents believe it could be dangerous. The weapons would either be carried in a holster or secured in a nearby lockbox.

A man walked into Louie's Grill & Bar and opened fire, striking two people. As the gunman was fleeing the scene, a bystander armed with a pistol confronted the shooter and fatally shot him outside the restaurant, Oklahoma City Police Captain Bo Mathews told reporters.

"Right now, all I know is that it was just a good Samaritan that was there and looks like he took the right measures to be able to put an end to a terrible, terrible incident," Mathews said.

Banks endanger 2nd Amendment freedoms, gun rights advocates say – Las Vegas Review-Journal


By Lisa Marie Pane The Associated Press
June 24, 2018 - 11:07 am


GAINESVILLE, Ga. — With Gary Ramey’s fledgling gun-making business taking off in retail stores, he decided to start offering one of his handguns for sale on his website.

That didn’t sit well with the company he used to process payments, and they informed him they were dropping his account. Another credit card processing firm told him the same thing: They wouldn’t do business with him.

The reason? His business of making firearms violates their policies.

In the wake of high-profile mass shootings, corporate America has been taking a stand against the firearms industry amid a lack of action by lawmakers on gun control. Payment processing firms are limiting transactions, Bank of America stopped providing financing to companies that make AR-style guns, and retailers like Walmart and Dick’s Sporting Goods imposed age restrictions on gun purchases.

The moves are lauded by gun-safety advocates but criticized by the gun industry that views them as a backhanded way of undermining the Second Amendment. Gun industry leaders see the backlash as a real threat to their industry and are coming to the conclusion that they need additional protections in Congress to prevent financial retaliation from banks.

“If a few banks say ‘No, we’re not going to give loans to gun dealers or gun manufacturers’, all of a sudden the industry is threatened and the Second Amendment doesn’t mean much if there are no guns around,” said Michael Hammond, legal counsel for Gun Owners of America. “If you can’t make guns, if you can’t sell guns, the Second Amendment doesn’t mean much.”

The issue has already gotten the attention of the Republican who is chairman of the Senate Banking Committee. Sen. Mike Crapo of Idaho sent letters criticizing Bank of America and Citigroup, which decided to restrict sales of firearms by its business customers, over their new gun rules in the wake of the Florida high school shooting in February.

“We should all be concerned if banks like yours seek to replace legislators and policy makers and attempt to manage social policy by limiting access to credit,” Crapo wrote to Citigroup’s chief executive.

Honor Defense is a small operation with a handful of employees that include Ramey’s son and his wife who work out of a non-descript building in a Georgia office park north of Atlanta. In 2016, its first year, it sold 7,500 firearms. Its products — handcrafted 9mm handguns that come in a variety of colors — can now be found in more than 1,000 stores.

When Ramey noticed that neither Stripe nor Intuit would process payments through his site, he submitted a complaint with Georgia’s attorney general’s office, counting on help from a state law that prohibits discrimination by financial service firms against the gun industry. But the state rejected it, saying that credit card processing is not considered a financial service under state law.

Navajo Nation offered to buy Remington, was rejected

A Surprising Bid for Remington, and an Unsurprising Rejection - The New York Times

Remington, which emerged from bankruptcy this spring, is not a public company. It is largely owned by the investment firm Franklin Templeton, which was a creditor before the bankruptcy. JPMorgan Chase owns a smaller part of the company as a result of previously providing it a loan. Had Remington accepted the offer, both creditors would have been able to quickly exit an investment that has brought with it unwanted attention.
