Huffington Post: Kids' Gun Parties? Texas Gun Range Targets Parties For Children 8 And Older

Posted: 10 Jun 2012 09:57 AM PDT


By Marice Richter
LEWISVILLE, Texas, June 10 (Reuters) - Parents searching for the perfect place and theme for their kids' birthday parties will soon have another option in Texas: a gun range.
Eagle Gun Range in Lewisville, Texas, is due to open later this summer and birthday parties will be available to children age 8 and older. Party-goers will get a 30-minute class in gun safety and handling and then will have the opportunity to shoot either a BB gun or a .22 long rifle.
"I don't know whether anyone has ever tried this before," said David Prince, who is building the indoor gun range in the Dallas suburb. "I think it is a good way to introduce gun safety to kids in a responsible way in a controlled environment."
Plenty of staff will be around to help parents supervise.
"We're not just going to have kids running around waving loaded guns and shooting at piñatas," said Prince, an accountant and gun enthusiast.
Besides birthday parties, Prince hopes his gun range will attract scout troops, church youth groups and other organizations that want to introduce kids to gun safety and shooting sports.
"I think this is such a great idea," said Lori Benoit of Austin. "I have three boys and they are all fascinated with guns. I would love to have a place like this close to us. It would be such a great experience to introduce shooting sports to kids at a party."
Prince said publicity about birthday parties at the gun range has prompted hundreds of inquiries.
Jon Baker said he is planning to have a birthday party for his 10-year-old son as soon as the gun range opens.
"I would much rather see kids experiment with guns in a controlled environment than off somewhere in the open where someone could get hurt," said Baker, a realtor in the Fort Worth area. (Editing by Daniel Trotta and Eric Walsh)

Huffington Post: Jerry Sandusky Trial Just Beginning Of Search For Answers In Penn State Scandal

Posted: 10 Jun 2012 09:58 AM PDT

BELLEFONTE, Pa. -- The trial of Jerry Sandusky, which will begin Monday when prosecutors and his lawyer make opening statements before a central Pennsylvania jury, will probably be over in a few weeks.

But when it comes to getting to the bottom of what happened, it will definitely not be the final word.

Testimony in the child sex abuse case will focus on the 52 counts and 10 accusers for which the 68-year-old former Penn State assistant football coach could, if convicted, spend the rest of his life behind the bars of a state prison.

Huffington Post: CPAC Chicago: GOP Mood Toward Romney's Fall Prospects Brighten (VIDEO, PHOTOS)

Posted: 10 Jun 2012 10:03 AM PDT

ROSEMONT, Ill. -- Republicans riding high from a string of breaks in their favor are increasingly optimistic about Mitt Romney's chances to claim the White House in November, even among conservatives who had qualms about making him the party's nominee.

The bullish take is reflected in interviews with party strategists and activists, including people who supported Romney rivals during the primary season. Mood matters because it can fuel fundraising and volunteer hustle. But some of those GOP players stress that Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, has little room for error if he expects to topple an incumbent president.

Huffington Post: 'Madagascar 3' Beats Out 'Prometheus' For No. 1 At Box Office

Posted: 10 Jun 2012 10:06 AM PDT

It was a race to the finish, but "Prometheus" fell to the powerful animated zoo animals of "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted" at the box office this weekend.

The DreamWorks family film earned the No. 1 spot at the box office with a $60.4 million debut, followed by a big opening for Ridley Scott's action-packed alien adventure "Prometheus" with $50 million, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"Prometheus" earned positive reviews from critics and beat out "Madagascar 3" on Friday by about $1 million, but by the end of the weekend, it did not win the top spot over the family film.
