A Cobb County, Georgia judge found former Glock CEO Paul Jannuzzo (55) guilty of racketeering and two other charges including stealing a pistol and conspiring with former Glock executive Peter Manown to skim millions from the Smyrna, Georgia-based Glock. Jannuzzo faces up to 30 years in prison. His attorney, Robert Citronberg says he will appeal the conviction. Peter Manown pleaded guilty to three counts of theft in 2008 and was sentenced to 10 years' probation and no jail time. In return, he provided prosecutors with a statement outlining the embezzlement he and Jannuzzo had allegedly engaged in. Jannuzzo was originally indicted in 2007 but was reindicted in 2008 so prosecutors could add the charge of obstructing law enforcement when he allegedly lied to Smyrna Police during questioning. Had he not been reindicted, the statute of limitations would have expired on the gun theft charge. Without that charge, Jannuzzo would not have been in jeopardy under the racketeering charge. Glock founder Gaston Glock did not testify in the proceeding.

The Washington state Supreme Court has declined to review an October decision by the state Court of Appeals, reaffirming that the gun ban in Seattle's parks is illegal. This order marks a final victory for Seattle-area gun owners, the National Rifle Association (NRA) and the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), who had joined together to block enforcement of the ban. The case of Chan v. City of Seattle began in 2008, when the city of Seattle and then-Mayor Greg Nickels (D) enacted a rule that banned firearms and dangerous weapons from city parks, community centers and other city properties. In 2009, the city added another rule that banned guns from parks where children are likely to be present. In October 2009, the NRA and SAF asked the King County Superior Court to strike down the ban as a violation of Washington's preemption statute; it did so in February 2010. The preemption says the state preempts the field of firearm regulation and prohibits cities from regulating firearms. In response, the city claimed the ban wasn't a "law" or a criminal regulation and that it was acting in its proprietary capacity as a property owner.  

Every year for the past 20 years, community members and business owners in Mid-Missouri have come together to raise money to defend Second Amendment rights thanks to a program started by Larry & Brenda Potterfield of MidwayUSA. In the spring of 1992 at the annual NRA meeting in Salt Lake City, Larry Potterfield sat down with current Executive Director of the NRA Foundation Wayne Sheets, to talk about what they could do back home to help raise more money for the NRA. The result was a "fundraising party" that attracted 1,000 people and committee of volunteers known as Friends of NRA. It would eventually trigger over 1,000 events annually across America. The 20th anniversary event is anticipated to be the largest event in the Mid-Missouri chapter's history, with an expected attendance over 1,200 people. Committee members are also expecting executive staff members from NRA headquarters in Fairfax, VA to be in attendance as well as Friends of NRA TV hosts Jessie and Matt Duff.
