The ex-mayor of Marcus Hook, Penn., has been sentenced to up to 20 months in prison for discharging his firearm to intimidate a man he had invited to his home for a drink. James Schiliro is an outspoken gun control advocate and was a member of former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns.

Schiliro had a police cruiser bring his former neighbor, a 20-year-old man, who he was apparently attracted to, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. He reportedly made the man drink wine and refused to let him leave for more than three hours.

Marcus Hook Mayor James ‘Jay” Schiliro, seen here in March 2013, was found guilty last month of recklessly endangering another person, unlawful restraint, false imprisonment, official oppression, and fu

A New York mom and daughter on vacation in Florida found an unwelcome surprise in the back of their rental SUV earlier this month. Inside a bag was an AR-15, which was later revealed to have been left there by the wife of a NFL quarterback.

According to The Sun-Sentinel, Judith Fleissig said she and her daughter had driven the E-Z Rent-A-Car’s Nissan Rogue around for a couple days before noticing the bag in the back.

“She unzipped it and saw a gun and we were like, ‘Oh my God! A gun,’” Fleissig told WFOR-TV of the Jan. 6 discovery.

On the surface, John Filippidis seems to be just the kind of responsible gun owner who should carry a concealed firearm. He’s a family man, small business owner and taxpayer who takes the responsibility of gun ownership seriously.

In the state of Michigan, it is legal to openly carry a handgun. However, when a police officer in Grand Rapids responded to a March 3 call about a man doing exactly that, he drew his weapon and ordered the man to the ground.

The interaction was captured on video and will likely be used as evidence in a federal lawsuit filed by open-carry advocate Johann Deffert. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. district court in Grand Rapids, lists Police Chief Kevin Belk, Officer William Moe and two other officers as defendants.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Having failed in an earlier effort to bar federal agents from enforcing gun regulations in Missouri, conservative lawmakers are trying a new tack this year: banding together with other like-minded states to defy certain federal laws at the same time.

Supporters believe it will be more difficult for the federal government to shrug off such statutes if more states act together.

Missouri’s latest proposal, introduced this past week, would attempt to nullify certain federal gun control regulations from being enforced in the state and subject law enforcement officers to criminal and civil penalties for carrying out such policies.

Saxet Gun Shows have been held nearly every month since 2010 at an Austin, Texas-area exposition center, but that’s ending after this month.

Travis County commissioners voted not to renew Saxet’s lease for the county’s expo center, ending weeks of negotiations for shows that would have spanned over the next year, according to the Austin American-Statesman.

The reason? County officials wanted Saxet to require background checks for all firearm sales, including those from private sellers.

A rush to maximize political benefit from the Newtown school shooting, bickering over celebrity sponsors and snarky commentary on some of the nation’s most prominent politicians are among the things to emerge from communications between former Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s New York City Hall staff and executives at the Bloomberg-founded group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG).

We don’t know if Michael John Hough and Shaashana Marie Hough, husband and wife, ever saw “Les Miserables,” but they’re telling a similar story to explain why they stole a power screwdriver from a Phoenix-area Sears and then pulled a gun when confronted by a loss prevention officer.

The problem is, when they pulled their stunt last Friday, a former Marine was nearby witnessing the whole thing as his wife exited the mall where the Sears was located. And he wasn’t going to stand by. He pulled a gun of his own and fired multiple shots, sending the couple scrambling on a motorcycle.
