Warden aims to cut jail population for repairs at Lawrence County Jail
Warden Joseph F. Gregg says about 20 inmates must be moved by Tuesday to allow repair work on electrically operated cell doors. Eight doors malfunction, though manual closing remains possible. A representative from Frres Correctional Equipment will inspect all 36 cells. Gregg hopes to reduce to 27 inmates so work can proceed in one block while the other is repaired, with completion hoped in two weeks.

NRA Opposes Seven Day Waiting Period for Handguns
The NRA argued a seven day delay to buy a handgun would not deter crime and penalize law abiding citizens. James Baker said criminals obtain guns through illicit routes avoiding checks, while witnesses like Sarah Brady and Ross Misher described gun violence and urged background checks and waiting periods. Brady cited Hinckley attack and a 1981 poll showing broad public support for the measure.
