CARSON CITY — The Nevada Supreme Court has rejected the appeal of Las Vegas killer Clayton L. Wrencher, who complained his rights were violated when he was warned not to cry or show remorse during his trial. Wrencher was admonished by District Court Judge Michelle Leavitt not to shed tears or display emotion, and he maintains that prejudiced him before the jury. The court said Wrencher did not object at trial but raised the issue later.

Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong has stated that the IHOP Shooter, Edwardo Sencion, used a Norinco Mak 90 that was illegally converted to fully automatic fire. The BATF has traced the history of the rifle to California, where it was sold five years ago. Sheriff Furlong said that the BATF told him that the rifle had been professionally converted to full auto fire. No information was given on the prior history of the pistol or the Romarm Cugir rifle that was found in the shooter’s vehicle. The Romarm Cugir rifle was commonly imported as the WASR-10, another semi automatic AK-47...

A deadly shooting rampage at a Carson City IHOP restaurant last month has prompted a call for a review of Nevada's gun laws. Assembly Judiciary Committee Chairman William Horne said it would be appropriate for lawmakers to consider changes to the state's gun regulations after a man with a history of mental illness shot 11 people with an assault weapon at the restaurant, killing three Nevada National Guard members and a civilian before killing himself. Horne, D-Las Vegas, told the Reno Gazette-Journal that while he's a gun owner who supports gun rights, he questions why citizens need to own an...

When Eduardo Sancion chose the location for his shooting spree in Carson City, Nevada Tuesday he picked a a street home to at least seven military installations and recruitment centers. Just over a mile away on South Carson Street is the Army National Guard, another mile north is the Nevada Army national Guard depot. Scattered throughout the stripmalls and businesses on Carson St. are recruiters for the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. Sancion pulled up to to the IHOP known to be popular among servicemembers in a blue minivan with a "Support Our Troops" bumper sticker on the back,...

An official says three people are dead after a gunman opened fire at a Nevada IHOP restaurant, wounding himself and nine other people.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — A gunman with a rifle opened fire at an IHOP restaurant in Nevada's capital on Tuesday, wounding six people and himself and killing two uniformed National Guardsmen in a hail of gunfire during the morning breakfast hour, authorities and witnesses said. A third person was killed in addition to the servicemembers, and the gunman was not expected to survive, said Carson City Sheriff Kenny Furlong. It wasn't immediately clear whether the gunman had any connection with the military or the guard, said Nevada National Guard Sgt. Mike Getten. He said guard members were meeting at...

CARSON CITY, NV (FOX5) - At least seven people, including a gunman, were wounded after a shooting at a Carson City restaurant, authorities said. The Carson City Sheriff's Office said the shooting happened around 9 a.m. Tuesday at an IHOP restaurant. According to Sheriff Kenny Furlong, the shooter was wounded and transported to a local hospital. Six others were shot and also transported to local medical facilities.

CARSON CITY, NV - Carson City sheriff's deputies are investigating a shooting in the area of the IHop on South Carson Street. Details are very sketchy, but initial reports indicate that more than one person has been shot on the 3800 block of Carson Street and a suspect is still in the area. We have a crew on the way and we'll update this story as information becomes available.

The story is almost old hat these days. Despite constant warnings to be careful what you post on Facebook, a disgruntled employee who is irritated at a boss, a customer or a co-worker, takes to the social networking site to vent some spleen — and ends up getting disciplined or even fired. It’s a fate that has befallen a North Carolina waitress at a pizza restaurant, a Philadelphia Eagles stadium worker and a group of airline workers in recent months. But what if it’s the boss who decides to use Facebook to complain about an employee?

Wake up! Jeez. Any body want to guess who this Nevada legislator is?

On April 15th, we interrupted my vacation in Tahoe to participate in a rousing tax-day tea party in Carson City, Nevada. We joined over two thousand souls who were tired of watching President Obama chip away daily at our individual liberties and bankrupt the country we love. To the dismay of liberals and their mainstream media supporters, Americans showed up in the tens of thousands across the United States. These were no parties of the rich gathering in their finery for fundraising tea parties. These were average Americans coming together to take a stand for individual liberty! In doing so,...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRzfoMrRWX0 Under gray skies, with wintry temperatures in the upper thirties, thousands of frustrated but enthusiastic taxpayers turned out today in Carson City Nevada for perhaps the biggest grass-roots protest demonstration the tiny capitol city has ever seen. The crowd gathered beginning at 10:30 AM, on the tree-covered lawn of the Legislative building, with the trees in full blossom to provide a soft canopy for the determined protesters. The flag-festooned protest continued through 1PM. The group included families with children, young adults, seniors, and veterans. The crowd of thousands stretched out on both sides of Carson Street, for 5 blocks,...

"The Stop Obama Tour" will be taking a stand in your cities on October 15th. If you live near those areas, you are encouraged to come and show your support for America. Bring your American flags, your Nobama signs, and you can even bring your resumes to show that you have better executive experience than Obama. If you pal around with terrorists, please list them in the References section, as that seems to be an essential qualification. The rallies are being run by Our Country Deserves Better (where you can find a schedule of where they will be next) and...

OK folks, here is my report on the Sarah Palin rally held in Carson City, NV on Saturday, September 13, 2008. The day the Palin visit was made, I called the Carson City Republican HQ to get information. The poor woman who answered the phone was tearing her hair out as they had zero information, phones ringing off the hook and people just dropping by. I picked my daughter up from school at 11AM - she's a senior in HS and won't be able to vote in this election (she hasn't forgiven me for having her 6 months too late)....

Sept. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Denny and Melanie Doyal got in line Saturday three hours before Sarah Palin's first solo campaign rally outside Alaska. They were among the latecomers. Terril Tungate was at a Carson City, Nevada, park by 10:30 a.m., seven hours before the Republican vice presidential nominee took the stage. When Palin finished, Tungate emerged from the throng clutching an autographed campaign sign. ``It was the bomb,'' the 52-year-old legal secretary shouted over the cheers. While she's long supported Republican presidential candidate John McCain, Tungate said, ``now it's 10 times better.'' (snip) After the speech, the Nevada crowd stuck...

CARSON CITY, Nevada – Sarah Palin made her debut in this swing state with many of the same well-rehearsed lines she’s used to excite Republicans across the country since her rocket rise to political prominence. This time, though, she didn’t have to appear as an opening act. After a week of campaigning side-by-side with John McCain, and often overshadowing him in the process, Palin made her first solo campaign appearance outside Alaska with an upbeat confidence, plainly comfortable being the main attraction. Introduced by Lt. Governor Brian Krolicki as “a hockey mom with attitude” to about 5,000 people in an...

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson still has fans in Nevada. The former Democratic presidential candidate was in North Las Vegas on Saturday, holding a town hall at the College of Southern Nevada's campus on East Cheyenne Avenue. Richardson, who is of Mexican descent, emphasized the importance of the Hispanic vote in Nevada and other Western states as he campaigned for Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama. A boxing aficionado, Richardson said he was also in town for Saturday night's title fight between Juan Manuel Marquez and Joel Casamayor. Richardson endorsed Obama in March, prompting outrage from those close to New York...

CARSON CITY -- Until Saturday afternoon, Yerington resident Laura Tracy never had attended a political rally in her life. But she had a hard time controlling her emotions and her political sign when she and 5,000 others pushed into a park pavilion to scream for Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin like she was one of The Beatles. You see, Tracy, like Palin, is a hunter, good enough to have shot a wild turkey for her family's dinner last Thanksgiving. For Palin's first campaign appearance in Nevada, Tracy hoisted a sign that read "Hunter Chick 4 Palin" on one side...

With just 15 minutes to go before Sarah Palin's event was to start Saturday, the Pony Express Pavilion was only about a quarter full. The hold-up: The Secret Service had just one metal detector to run a line of some 3,500 people through. At 4:45 p.m., they gave up. They moved the metal detector out of the way and the crowd flooded into the pavilion. As one McCain backer said, the Alaskan Governor isn't in serious danger in Carson City.

I found a live feed for todays rally. She hasn't spoken yet. http://www.rgj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080913/NEWS18/80913017

She was accompanied by her husband Todd Palin on the official campaign plane with "McCain-Palin" painted on the side. She was met by Reno Mayor Bob Cashell and airport officials before quickly leaving in a motorcade. More than 8,000 people are waiting the Pony Express Pavilion in Carson City to see Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin at 6 p.m., according to Carson City Sheriff's Office estimates.

Move America Forward’s merry band of caravaners are headed west on Interstate 80- to Sacramento after an inspiring gathering of patriots in Carson City, Nev. (So excuse my writing if it’s a bit off. I’m in a moving motorhome!) More than 200 people showed up in red, white and blue at MAF’s first stop on our “Fight for Victory Tour” and heard talks from military mothers, Chairman Melanie Morgan, Vice Chairman Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson, and Presidential candidate Duncan Hunter. Across the street in front of the office of Sen. Harry “cut-and-run” Reid were about 40 lefties who support surrender...

Democrat Party Organizes Against Pro-Troop Tour Move America Forward is launching a "Fight for Victory Tour," which will set off tomorrow with a rally in Carson City, Nevada, and climax with a giant "Let Our Troops Win" rally in DC on September 15. With all the contentiousness in politics these days, its nice to see rallies in support of something that no American could oppose — our troops' victory over Islamic terrorists in Iraq. But wait, I'm forgetting the Democrat Party, which is organizing counterrallies in an attempt to shout down those who support our troops. A small sampling: National...

Bernabe Rivas of Carson City, Nevada, was busted for trafficking in methamphetamine, reports the Nevada Appeal. A felony. But rather than prosecute the illegal drug dealer on the felony charge, District Judge Bill Maddox sent him to drug court…over the objections of the drug court committee which reviews and approves such cases. By having his case heard in drug court, Rivas avoids the possibility of being convicted of a felony. Instead, he simply has to take frequent drug tests, keep a job and not get busted again for the next two years. Now here’s the kicker… The reason Judge Maddox...

By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton This article is in response to the ‘Missing in Action’ column from Maggie O’Neill published in the Nevada Appeal on December 26th, 2005 entitled: ‘Trust the Teachers.’ Obviously, this article was not posted online out of fear of rebuttal from bloggers such as myself. Well, Maggie, I would not want to deprive you of a parent’s insight or a fair review. However, you have magnanimously deprived Joe Enge of an unbiased review and instead have decided to push the Teachers’ Union party line so to speak… Bravo! But at least, we can see where you stand. When...

The Carson City, Nevada, school administrators are attempting to fire an award-winning history teacher, Joe Enge. Why should that matter to you? I’ll combine his story with that of my 11th grade history teacher. Maybe you’ll agree this matters to everyone who cares about the future of America. In Carson City schools, administrators insist that history teachers begin teaching American history with the Civil War. Joe Enge, an 11th grade teacher there who’s written two history books and has served on a statewide board on history teaching, disagrees. He begins at the beginning, teaching his students about the American Revolution,...

Today's edition of the Review Journal says "Poll says Bush has Big Lead". This is the Mason Dickson poll from yesterday. That's great to read but long ago, I promised myself that I will get involved in the Get Out the Vote (GOTV) campaign here in Las Vegas. I have memories seared in my brain from Election 2000, when I lived in Boca Raton, Florida - Ground Zero. I've told countless people since then how I observed the evil, criminal corrupt Democrat Party attempt a coup during those 36 days. They are trying the same thing again here in Nevada....
