The South Korean government, in an effort to raise money for its military, wants to sell nearly a million antique M1 rifles that were used by U.S. soldiers in the Korean War to gun collectors in America. The Obama administration approved the sale of the American made rifles last year. But it reversed course and banned the sale in March -- a decision that went largely unnoticed at the time but that is now sparking opposition from gun rights advocates.

For the Assembly, the curtain fell at midnight Tuesday after a final hour marked by animosity that began with a partisan fight that ultimately killed legislation to ban the open display of unloaded guns in most public places.

Yakima County commissioners approved an ordinance Tuesday allowing gun owners to carry their weapons to county parks and festivals. KAPP TV reports the change was made because the county law was more restrictive that the state law on concealed weapons.

In a damning report in 2002, federal Auditor General Sheila Fraser found that program was not only costly, but excessively regulatory, overly complex and difficult for owners to comply with.

Exhibitors at the 2011 show will have a much easier time identifying true “buyers” thanks to changes to the attendee-registration process.

Finally, red snapper anglers have a ray of hope that they will be able to catch their favorite species in 2010. Of course, two important steps must be accomplished before anglers will be allowed to catch the fish that made the Alabama Gulf Coast famous - NOAA Fisheries' blessing on the fall snapper season that was approved by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council last week and the opening of fishing in federal waters that have been closed by the oil spill.
