April 10, 2013: A rack of AR-15 rifles stand to be individually
packaged as workers move a pallet of rifles for shipment at the
Stag Arms company in New Britain, Conn.APNEW BRITAIN, Conn. A Connecticut
gun-maker announced on Wednesday it intends to leave the state, just six
days after passage of restrictive gun control legislation, while two other
manufacturers said they are considering relocation offers from other states.Manufacturers
also plan to lobby the state's congressional delegation next week "to make
sure they hear from our side," said Mark Malkowski, president of Stag
Arms in New Britain.Bristol-based PTR said in a statement posted on its
website that it has not decided where it will move, but has
commitments from most employees to relocate. The company makes military-style
rifles and employs more than 40 people. PTR Vice President John McNamara
said the company expects to make a more formal announcement about a
move within six weeks."Along with other companies in the trade, we were
deeply apprehensive at the hurried process to develop new gun laws and
fearful that it would generate unintended consequences for our industry,"
the company said.With the legislation signed into law by Gov. Dannel P.
Malloy on April 4, "our worst fears were confirmed," the company said.
"What emerged was a bill fraught with ambiguous definitions, insufficient
considerations for the trade, conflicting mandates and disastrous consequences
for the fu
Some Texas applicants for welfare would be subjected to drug testing and
would be permanently cut off if they fail three times under a
bill passed Wednesday by the state Senate.The bill covers Temporary Assistance
for Needy Families program applicants. The program, which provides poor
people with money for food, clothing, housing and other basic needs, distributes
about $90 million to more than 100,000 Texans annually. The amount of
the payment depends on family size and income."Taxpayer money should not
be used to subsidize someone's drug habit," bill sponsor Sen. Jane Nelson,
R-Flower Mound, said before the bill sailed through on a 31-0 vote
that sent it to the House.The program already requires adult TANF applicants
to sign a pledge not to sell or use drugs. Nelson's bill
would move Texas in line with seven other states that require testing.
It would not cover other welfare programs such as food stamps or
other state benefit programs.Not all applicants would be tested, but all
would be required to undergo a screening assessment, likely a questionnaire,
to determine their risk of drug use. Anyone with a previous felony
drug conviction or failed drug test or who is otherwise deemed a
high risk for drug use would be tested.Applicants who test positive would
be barred from collecting benefits for 12 months. They could reapply in
six months if they complete a substance abuse program. Three failed drug
tests would result in a permanent ban

cell provider at the time to release that information, Missey Smith told
FoxNews.com. This is not an issue of privacy. Its not a matter
of content were not asking for text messages or information about
who the person is contacting. Were simply asking for the location of
the phone.This law costs zero to implement, she added. And it absolutely
saves lives.Such was the case in Loudon County, Tenn., in May 2012,
one month after the governor signed the bill into law. Local authorities
there were able to quickly obtain cellphone records from Verizon leading
them to a suspected child rapist who was believed to have snatched
a child."They had reason to believe the child was in imminent danger,
and we were able to use the Kelsey Smith Act to obtain
the location of the suspects cellphone without having to go through a
court order process," said Jennifer Estes, president of the Tennessee Emergency
Number Association.In most cases, victims of abductions by strangers are
killed within a very narrow window of time -- making it imperative
for law enforcement to obtain cellphone records quickly."Time is of the
essence when a child is missing -- the first 3 hours are
critical to recovering a child alive," John Ryan, chief executive officer
of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, said in an
email to FoxNews.com. "Law enforcement must be able to obtain cellphone
locations as quickly as possible in these circumstances. We supp

Korea, Unification Minister Ryoo Kihl-jae, urged Pyongyang to stop heightening
tensions and to discuss the restart of operations in Kaesong.In Pyongyang,
meanwhile, there was no sense of panic. Across the city, workers were
rolling out sod and preparing the city for a series of April
holidays.North Korean students put on suits and traditional dresses to celebrate
Kim Jong Un's appointment as first secretary of the Workers' Party a
year ago.A flower show and art performances are scheduled over the next
few days in the lead-up to the nations' biggest holiday, the April
15 birthday of North Korea founder Kim Il Sung, grandfather of the
current leader.No military parade or mass events were expected over the
coming week, but North Korea historically uses major holidays to show off
its military power, and analysts say Pyongyang could well mark the occasion
with a provocative missile launch in defiance of U.N. Security Council resolutions
barring the North from nuclear and missile activity."However tense the situation
is, we will mark the Day of the Sun in a significant
way," Kim Kwang Chon, a Pyongyang citizen, told The Associated Press, referring
to the April 15 birthday. "We will celebrate the Day of the
Sun even if war breaks out tomorrow."During last year's celebrations, North
Korea failed in an attempt to send a satellite into space aboard
a long-range rocket. The U.S. and its allie
