K.I.D.S© - A Proactive Approach to School Murders

Editor's Note: This article was originally published on our website ten years ago today. The lessons it provides are every bit as prescient today as they were then...perhaps even moreso. EARLY CITIZEN AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OPTIONS Just as we have mistakenly treated the symptoms of a malady instead of the root cause, so too have we failed to adequately address the copycat root problem of Rapid Mass...

Civilian AR-15 Rifle: Our Senior Citizen

This honorable senior citizen has been disrespected and demonized by subversive elements that prefer American citizens to be unarmed. Permit me here to share a collection of clarification thoughts and expose more of the malicious opposing sound- bite propaganda and disinformation. Proudly made in America, the civilian AR-15 in .223 Remington is almost 60 years old. In 1957, three ArmaLite...

Plain Dealer/FOP credit BFA for Permitless Carry law taking effect

On June 13, 2022, Permitless Carry became legal in the Buckeye State. For many of us at Buckeye Firearms Association, it marks the culmination of two decades of work to restore Ohioans' constitutional right to bear arms for their defense and security. Ohio gun rights advocates have been working for this since a decade BEFORE the first poison pill-filled concealed carry bill was signed into law by...

On Tuesday, June 14, 2022, Governor Mike DeWine signed Senate Bill 156 to enact "knife preemption" in Ohio.

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from humiliated Biden nominee David Chipman. That is, of course, a good thing. After the anti-gun lobbyist was withdrawn as Biden’s nominee to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) last year, he popped up, occasionally, to blame others for his failure to convince enough U.S. Senators that he was little more than a gun ban proponent...

Governor DeWine Signs HB 99 "Armed Teacher" Bill into Law

On Monday, June 13, 2022, Governor Mike DeWine signed House Bill 99 to return authority over school security programs to local school boards, including programs which allow teachers and staff to be armed. Sponsored by State Rep. Thomas Hall (R-Madison Twp.), this bill reverses an absurd ruling by the Ohio Supreme Court that requires school employees to receive the same training as police officers...

Ohio's Permitless Carry Law Goes into Effect Today, June 13, 2022

Beginning today, June 13, 2022, it is legal for a "qualifying" adult to carry a concealed handgun without a license in Ohio. Generally referred to as “permitless carry” or “constitutional carry,” Senate Bill 215 , which is now in effect, makes several key changes to Ohio’s concealed carry laws: Ohio’s concealed handgun license (CHL) will become optional.
