NY AND NJ PROPOSE MORE
GUN CONTROL
NY Representative Carolyn Maloney
taking over from former Rep. Carolyn
McCarthy has introduced HR2380 in congress
that would require background checks at all gun
shows in the U.S. The bill would also require
gun show promoters to register with the attorney
general and keep a record of all vendors.
A week later she introduced HR2546
that would require all gun owners to carry liability insurance with a fine of $100,000 for noncompliance. (Cont’d on pg 4 gun control)

IRON OWL
This year marked the 5th annual Iron Owl Challenge hosted by the OIT Veterans Administration. Like previous years we saw teams from across the country visit Klamath Falls and
compete. The Navy and Air Force academy, Colorado Springs ROTC and Kingsley Field went head
to head for top spot in a three day/night military challenge.
Sunday morning, teams arrived at the Richard Wickline 600 yard range for the final day's
events.
They tested their marksmanship skills with best 3 shot group, most hits on target at 625
yards, 10 shot barricade at 200 yards, improvised shooting positions at 100 yards and a
close quarters combat course. Although the teams were pretty rough and tired they all performed well with the Air Force taking first place for the weekend events. Erick Bishop.
