"I don't happen to believe that America needs new gun laws. A lot of what this-- young man did was clearly against the law. But the fact that it was against the law did not prevent it from happening."

PRESIDENT OBAMA ADDRESSED THE ISSUE IN A SPEECH BEFORE THE NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE.

"Hunting and shooting are part of a cherished national heritage. But I also believe that a lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not in the hands of criminals." --

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-CLIP

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

"HOTTER AND DRIER THAN NORMAL"

We're in store for a hotter and drier weather pattern as we round out the work week as a strong ridge of high pressure builds westward from the Atlantic.

Our mornings will start off warm and muggy with temperatures in the upper 70s to low 80s. With plenty of sunshine overhead through the afternoon hours, highs will be running a couple of degrees above the norm as most locations will climb into the middle 90s, with our beach and coastal locations nearing the 90° mark. Combine the actual air temperature with the humidity and the "feels like" temperature will feel a lot hotter than what the thermometer is actually reading. In fact, heat index values will soar into the low 100s.

Due to a drier airmass settling across the Florida peninsula, rain prospects will remain slim to none with the mention of only a late afternoon stray shower.

Not much cooling will take place, as temperatures through the evening hours will be slow to fall. Tonight, expect mostly clear conditions with lows in the upper 70s to near 80° along the coast with mid 70s across our inland communities.

THAT WAS GOING TO BE SOMEONE'S DINNER!

BUT ONCE IT BECAME A LOCAL ATTRACTION--

THE RESTAURANT DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

LOBSTER SAVED-PKG

SEAFOOD IS NORMALLY THE BIGGEST ATTRACTION AT THE DOCK RESTAURANT IN WATERFORD. BUT THIS WEEKEND, "LARRY THE LOBSTER" STOLE THE SHOW. THE 17-POUND SHELLFISH BECAME THE CENTER OF ATTENTION.

"People were so excited to see him, especially the kids, they loved him."

BUT WHEN THEY HEARD LARRY'S NEXT HOME WOULD BE A LOBSTER POT, THEY WEREN'T TOO EXCITED.

ENTER DON MACKENZIE, WHO IS THE VP OF BOATS INCORPORATED. LOCATED JUST ACROSS THE NIANTIC RIVER FROM THE RESTAURANT.

HE COULDN'T LET THE LOBSTER BE SOMEONE'S DINNER.

"If he is 70 to 100 years old, he's seen a lot of history, and speaking to the people at the aquarium, there's a lot more history to come. He could live to be over 100 years old, so instead of someone enjoying him for 15-20 minutes in a pot or butter and bit, let's let him find a home."

SO MACKENZIE BOUGHT THE LOBSTER FROM THE RESTAURANT. HE WOULDN'T SAY HOW MUCH IT COST HIM. ONLY THAT IT'S THE MOST EXPENSIVE LOBSTER HE'S NEVER EATEN.

"He sold me the lobster at his cost, and today Larry's free."

WHERE THE LOBSTER WAS ACTUALLY RELEASED IS STILL A MYSTERY LOCATION. THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE LOBSTER HAD A CHANCE TO SURVIVE.

"We made sure he's in plenty of deep water; the water's the right temperature, and there are plenty of rocks around him so he can start eating again."

AND ENJOYING LIFE. RIGHT WHERE HE BELONGS.

FOR MONTHS, HER FATHER SAYS, WORKERS AT CAROLINE'S DAYCARE, GAVE HER THE SHOTS SHE NEEDS.

"It worked for 4 months just perfect."

THEN, IN JANUARY, HE SAYS THEY SUDDENLY TOLD HIM THEY WOULDN'T DO IT ANYMORE.

"They said it was a liability issue?"

"It's an ongoing issue across the country."

THE GROUP "DISABILITY RIGHTS TEXAS" HELPED CAMPBELL FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, CLAIMING THE DAYCARE IS DISCRIMINATING AGAINST CAROLINE AND VIOLATING THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT.

"I think there's a good chance the Department of Justice will take a particular interest in this case and and we're hopeful, like the Campbells and other clients, we are hopeful the law is enforced."

"We asked the Children's Courtyard for its response. The daycare sent us an email that doesn't address this specific case, but does say the company follows the law and makes reasonable accommodations for children with special needs."
