An interesting and surprising development

Yesterday, September 13, the AW/hicap ban sunsetted.

Today, September 14, effective immediately, Massachussetts, one of the most gun-unfriendly states in the US:-

• Extended the terms of FID (Firearms ID Card) and LTC (License To Carry) issued on or after today from 4 to 6 years;
• Instituted a grace period of 90 days following the expiration of a license;
• Created an exemption to the LTC renewal fee for active law enforcement officers;
• And established a firearm license review board which will review applications from individuals convicted of certain misdemeanor offenses who are disqualified under current law.

Massachusetts' own state AW ban remains in place.

Update:  I'm advised that these changes were actually in place a month or so ago, but did not take effect until today.

Water-closet chronicles, in this case.  (I swear that music isn't front-loaded.)  Goose has practically taken up residence in the bathroom... it seems like almost any time you go look for her, she's in the bathroom.

This wouldn't be quite so bad if we didn't only have one usable bathroom.

It is widely reported that a new remote-execution-of-arbitrary-code bug has been found in... wait for it ... JPEG rendering on Windows XP.
