After exhaustive but failed attempts to convince campus officials that director Michael Moore's "Bowling for Columbine" film - which is under investigation for rules violations in association with his Academy Award entry - did not belong on campus television, the Second Amendment Club at Ohio University decided to promote an event on campus to ensure that the...

Op-Ed: Three months in Minnesota, citizens still law-abiding

10:56am Friday, September 19, 2003

.00025%. 2 out of 8000 That's how many right-to-carry permits the state of Minnesota has revolked since it began to issue them three months ago. And like most cases involving the tiny fraction of withdrawn licenses in other states, in both Minnesota cases the permit was not at issue in the matters necessitating the revolkation.

Letter to the Editor: Ban the Tomatoes?

1:02pm Thursday, September 18, 2003

September 18, 2003 Akron Beacon-Journal I am in favor of stricter gun control because of people like the person who fired a shotgun into a Holmes County cornfield and killed a 23-year-old (``Enraged motorist kills prankster,'' Beacon Journal, Sept. 3).

Columbus Dispatch: Police hunt for man who tried to rob pedestrian

12:33pm Thursday, September 18, 2003
