Almost There: Brady Lowers Ohio’s Grade to D-minus
One year ago, and on the heels of passage of Ohio's concealed handgun license law, a Columbus Dispatch reporter asked OFCC's Chad Baus his reaction to the Brady Campaign's (Handgun Control Inc.) annual grade card, which gave Ohio a D-plus for its "ability to protect children from gun violence."
"I was hoping for an F," Baus was quoted as saying. "The Brady Campaign has a history of giving states with the lowest crime rates and least restrictive gun laws" failing grades.
In that same story, Toby Hoover of the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence, predicted in the Dispatch that passage of House Bill 12 "would have taken us down to an F minus."
As is quite common with regard to Hoover's predictions about what would happen if concealed carry became law in our state, her estimate of our 2004 Brady bunch grade did not come to pass. But for once, we actually wish she HAD been right.
In a Jan. 12 press release, the Brady bunch has announced Ohio has moved to a D-minus grade, "because the state passed a dangerous new law that forces police to let almost anyone carry hidden handguns in public."
Ohioans For Concealed Carry is confident that passage of a strong concealed carry reform bill that addresses many of the problems with Ohio CCW, we can achieve the coveted "F" that so many low-crime states have achieved.
