Two more businesses where legal concealed carry is banned were robbed last week in Ohio. A BMV office on the east side of Columbus (a victim zone by statute) was robbed on the same day as a branch of Fifth Third Bank, which is a "gun free" zone due to the company’s private policy.

Clearly, it doesn’t matter why concealed carry is forbidden at a location, because the results are usually the same. Only the criminal will be armed despite the signs or laws that ban ownership of firearms to people with a felony conviction. In both of these cases the patrons were left at the whim of a street thug because honest people follow the law and criminals don’t.

I often look at books and studies relating to hunting, trapping or Second Amendment issues. Some are saved for possible reference; most are skimmed and discarded, while occasionally the author really grabs my attention. Perhaps this is because the author is breaking new ground, presenting the facts and conclusion in a fresh manner, or even just reaffirming values that were passed from my ancestors to me. Rarely does the author combine all these facets into one work. That is exactly what Dr. Randall Eaton has done with his ongoing study of animal and human behavior combined with hunting.

Columbus' CBS affiliate, WBNS 10TV, is reporting that female enrollment in handgun classes is at an all-time high and protection is the top motive.

The number of women who carry handguns is rising across the U.S., according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation.

The Columbus Dispatch is reporting that a lawyer who made a name for himself in the 1990s prosecuting drug dealers and baseball legend Pete Rose will be the Republican candidate for Ohio attorney general in November.

A law that protects the right of Floridians to keep their guns locked in their personal vehicles at work took effect on July 1. HB503 will prevent employers from searching cars and firing employees for having guns or a concealed weapons license.

Too often people in other states look to Florida’s good firearms laws and wish we could pass good laws so easily. It’s not always as easy as it seems.
