Topeka to auction 400 confiscated firearms this weekend
In Topeka a 10 a.m. Saturday sale of about 400 firearms seized by the state will proceed at 130 S. Kansas Ave. The auction, run by the Department of Revenue, faces tension between public sale requirements and federal limits to licensed dealers. Gov. Graves questions the venture as lawmakers debate destroying seized guns rather than selling them.

The Case for Concealed Carry and Crime in Texas
A reader disputes a political ad linking George Bush to concealed handgun laws and cites John Lott's 1998 More Guns Less Crime study. It argues that licensees face fewer arrests for violent and nonviolent offenses, and that Texas crime fell faster than the national average, suggesting concealed carry contributed to crime decline.

Golden Moment for Lifter Nott Wins Olympic Weightlifting Gold
Tara Nott of Stilwell, a United States weightlifter, was awarded Olympic gold in the 105 pound category after Bulgaria’s Izabela Drangava was disqualified for a drug test. Nott, 28, living in Colorado Springs, lifted 407 pounds on her final attempt, the same as bronze medalist Lisa Rumbewa of Indonesia, but with a lighter body weight to win. Her relatives in Rantoul cheered as teammate Cheryl Haworth won bronze in the 165 and over class, and Nott said she would compete again in Athens.
