The shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and 18 others in Tucson nearly three weeks ago may have seemed like the sort of incident that would incite a push for stronger gun-control laws. But in certain parts of the country it's had just the opposite effect, inspiring increased sales of firearms and new legislative efforts to expand gun rights.
The group GeorgiaCarry.org, for example, has lost a legal challenge to the prohibition of firearms in places of worship in a ruling handed down by a district court.
