The objective of the organization was to establish a safe location for general shooting, hunter safety and law enforcement training. A depleted gravel pit, known as the Wilkinson Gravel Pit located 5 miles South West of Cass Lake was chosen. In the fall of 2000 Cass County Environmental Service Dept. approved reclassification of the pit for use as a range and a lease agreement was entered into between Cass County and NMRA. The range was named Gordy Buchanan Memorial Range after a long time area conservation officer who conducted many hunter safely classes in that pit. With a matching grant from LCMR and the help of the Leech Lake Tribal Construction Crew, the initial dirt work of leveling the bottom of the pit and establishing the range was undertaken. Once the leveling and basic dirt work was done, the installation of some 100 yard target backers and bench rests made the pit start looking like a shooting range. Then came a trap shooting area with an old used manual trap thrower. That has now progressed to a more modern automatic PAT trap with an active summer trap league.

  • Homicide Using an Air Weapon
    CASE REPORT Homicide Using an Air Weapon Benjamin Mogni, MD* *Rush University Medical Center, Department of Emergency Medicine, Chicago, Illinois Sarah Maines, MD† †Kentucky State Medical Examiner’s Office, Frankfort, Kentucky Section Editor: Scott Goldstein, MD Submission history: Submitted March 5, 2019; Revision received June 3, 2019; Accepted June 10, 2019 Electronically published July 22, 2019 Full text available through open access at http://escholarship.org/uc/uciem_cpcem DOI: 10.5811/cpcem.2019.6.42982 The debate over the lethality and ownership of modern, high-powered weapons has recently grabbed the headlines. High-velocity air weapons, advertised as starter guns for children, can cause lethal injuries despite non-lethal appearing wounds. Presented is a rare case of a modern, high-powered air weapon used in a homicide. A literature search yielded reports of only three previous murders by air weapon in the United States and only one involving injury to the thorax. In the current case, the killer used a diabolo pellet to penetrate the chest. The pathway tracked through the sternum, piercing the anterior pericardial sac and perforating the right ventricle, which led to a pericardial effusion. The pellet embolized to the left pulmonary artery and eventually the vasculature of the left lung. Cause of death was a penetrating gunshot wound of the chest most likely leading to cardiac tamponade. This case exemplifies several important characteristics of penetrating chest trauma from air guns: first, air rifles, with exit velocities up to 1200 feet per second, can kill and have been used in accidental deaths, homicides and suicides; secondly, diabolo pellets may embolize just as bullets can; and lastly, minor external damage may mask major internal destruction.

    Report No. 29 to the Storting (2007-2008) Export of defence materiel from Norway in 2007, export control and international non-proliferation cooperation Recommendation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of 6 June 2008, approved in the Council of State on the same date. (Stoltenberg II Government) 1 Introduction and summary In this white paper, the Government provides information on the Norwegian export control system for weapons, ammunition and other military materiel1 and dual-use goods2. The white paper lists actual exports in 2007 of defence materiel on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ List I3, and of appurtenant technology. List I contains both Category A materiel, i.e. weapons and ammunition and other materiel that could affect the military balance of power beyond the immediate vicinity, and Category B materiel, i.e. other equipment specially developed or modified for military use. The total value of exports in 2007 was approximately NOK 3.6 billion. Sales of goods accounted for about NOK 3.2 billion of this, services for about NOK 308 million and repair work for owners in other countries for about NOK 130 million. Category A materiel accounted for just over NOK 2 billion and Category B materiel for about NOK 1.2 billion. By way of comparison, the total value of exports in 2006 was about NOK 3.5 billion. In 2007, 92% by value of exports of Category A materiel and 84% by value of exports of Category B materiel went to NATO countries and to Sweden and Finland. The total value of exports of Category B materiel dropped markedly, by almost 22% from 2006, while exports of Category A materiel rose in value by about 45%.
