He notes lawful access persists for those who take matters into their own hands, as Ragsdale proposes a mild gun control bill that faces House opposition.

Ragsdale Pushes 48-Hour Cooloff and ID Rules for Guns
The bill mandates a 48 hour cooling off period before pistol delivery excluding Sundays and holidays and requires dealers to verify buyers with at least two forms of photo ID. Buyers must sign statements they are over 18 and not ex convicts or former mental patients. Penalties rise from 1000 dollar fine and 180 days in jail to 5000 dollar fine and 10 years imprisonment for higher offenses. Legislative sponsor Clayton supports the measure.

Midland Night Court Expands To 8 P.M. Fees Kept Low
Midland officials say a trial night court, begun in October, could stay open until 8 p.m. if demand exists. Four clerks handle shifts while two alternate judges, one night a week, hear moving violations and lesser misdemeanors at a total monthly cost of about 300 dollars. The program, already popular with people unable to attend day hours, fosters good public relations and is said to handle volume comparable to Odessa.
