Bozeman Man Sentenced to Over Two Years in Prison for Unlawful Firearm Possession

A Bozeman man, Kelly Johnson, 52, has been sentenced to two years and four months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for unlawfully carrying a firearm during a traffic stop.

Congressman Michael Guest and Congresswoman Susie Lee Introduce Bipartisan Resolution to Honor Veterans on Veterans Day 2026

Congressman Michael Guest (R-MS) has introduced a bipartisan resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives to honor the service and sacrifice of America's veterans and to encourage the observation of Veterans Day. This marks the fifth consecutive year Congressman Guest has introduced such a resolution. This year, he is joined by Congresswoman Susie Lee (D-Nev.) in co-sponsoring the measure. The resolution, supported by over 80 bipartisan members of the House, calls on the American people to recognize the heroic actions of veterans in protecting the United States and preserving freedom. Veterans Day, originally known as Armistice Day, commemorates the end of World War I on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. It was later renamed Veterans Day in 1954 to honor all American veterans who have served the country throughout its history.
