12:10am Wednesday, August 01, 2007
By Tim Inwood I have followed the sad news story of what has happened to the family of Dr. William Petit Jr. in Cheshire, Connecticut. Observing the coverage in newsprint and electronic media, I have wondered aloud if the "Culture of Sheep" has killed again. As the facts emerge it is becoming pretty clear that it has.

''Innocents betrayed'' by the Sandusky Register

12:10am Tuesday, July 31, 2007
July 29, 2007 Sandusky Register I received an interesting piece of mail. It was not a bill, a letter from Nigeria saying I won money, or correspondence from a long lost friend. This letter contained some deep personal information about myself. Not only was this person able to get my address but he was also able to find much more information on me in just seconds. How did he even get my name in...

Pair of Ohio editorials ignore law enforcement, parrot Michael Bloomberg

12:05am Tuesday, July 31, 2007
By Chad D. Baus If I didn't know better, I'd guess that a recent (unsigned) Toledo Blade editorial, entitled "NRA puppets" , and another published in the (Hamilton) Journal-News ( "Keeping gun data secret is criminal" ) were written by anti-gun New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg himself. While it does appear that Bloomberg has requested that his friends in the media begin an editorial campaign...

12:15am Friday, July 27, 2007
By Jim Irvine and Chris Chumita At their Central Committee meeting on Wednesday night, the Cuyahoga County Republican Party acted quickly to remove the words “gun controls” from the proposed party platform.

CNN/YouTube Democrat Debate: ''Protect your baby'' - register to vote!

12:10am Friday, July 27, 2007
By Tim Inwood Perhaps I expected too much. I had hoped they would be on their best behavior, but no. What am I lamenting? The shoddy treatment given to the American gun owner in the last Democrat Presidential debate, that’s what. I am sadly not surprised by how us gun owners were dealt with as I watched the CNN-hosted YouTube Democrat debate. I will grant that Jered Townsend did not present...

Op-Ed: Anti-Gun Goofs - Dems' YouBoob Moment

12:05am Thursday, July 26, 2007
By Michelle Malkin New York Post Sen. Joe Biden is the embodiment of snide. Snide is the embodiment of the left-wing attitude toward gun owners. So when snide Joe Biden confronted a YouTube user who asked Democrat presidential candidates about gun control during a debate Monday night, what unfolded was a Teachable YouTube Moment - the caught-on-tape embodiment of ideological snideness toward the...

Small town security, or head-in-sand-ity?

12:10am Wednesday, July 25, 2007
By Chad D. Baus I live in a place some city-dwellers don't think exists any more. My small Fulton County, Ohio town is place where most of the faces passing by on the road are recognizable...a place where people can walk to work and church...a place where housing is still (fairly) affordable, and doors are often left unlocked...a place where families (sometimes two or three generations at once!)...

Op-Ed: Does a parking lot have more rights than you do?

12:05am Wednesday, July 25, 2007
by Chris W. Cox NRA-ILA Executive Director Silly question, I know. But your NRA-ILA is fighting against huge corporate conglomerates who argue that the rights of a humble patch of asphalt outside a business trump yours. They argue that companies can void the rights of law-abiding citizens on company property, even if the property is open to the general public. If you stop at a grocery store, for...

The history of gun control, part 3

12:05am Monday, July 23, 2007
By Sandy Froman Sadly, modern history is full of instances where the anti-gun left tries to capitalize on tragedy and fear to push their agenda. Sometimes the push is immediate, while at other times they lay in wait gathering strength until an opportune time, like the evil Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter novels. Those who support the Bill of Rights need to be aware of these tactics so we can...

Public Defender's (UNEDITED) Letter to Register Editor Westerhold

12:10am Thursday, July 19, 2007
UPDATE: Mr. Longo has sent Buckeye Firearms Association the complete text of his letter, which includes information EDITED out by the Sandusky Register , with the excuse that the letter was too long. Apparently the newspaper has enough space to publish the names of approximately 2,700 law-abiding citizens' private, confidential (and in some cases erroneous information, but not an extra 130 words...

Poll: Gun owners have opportunity to shape impression of Bloomberg in Ohio

12:05am Thursday, July 19, 2007
By Chad D. Baus On July 12, the Hannah News Service reported on the latest Quinnipiac Poll, which found that 61% of Ohioans have no opinion of anti-gun New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and that his unfavorables are higher than favorables among the rest.

Plain Dealer offers BALANCED coverage of Castle Doctrine law introduction

12:15am Wednesday, July 18, 2007
It took some time (one month, to be exact), but the Cleveland Plain Dealer has finally gotten around to publishing a story on SB184, Ohio's Castle Doctrine legislation introduced by Senator Steve Buehrer. It may be surprising for gun owners to learn that the newspaper's coverage is much more fair than the paper has developed a reputation for. From the story : Right now, Ohio law says that if you...

Book Review: Dr. John R. Lott's ''Freedomnomics''

12:10am Wednesday, July 18, 2007
By Chad D. Baus For most firearms enthusiasts, the name John Lott is synonymous with one thing: More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun-Control Laws . When that book hit the market in 1998, it quickly became recognized as what is perhaps the best critique of gun control ever written. Having endured a term and a half of what was possibly the most anti-gun presidential administrations in...

By Chad D. Baus & Jim Irvine As if declaring war on gun ownership by publishing the private, confidential information of more than 2,700 Ohio concealed handgun license (CHL) holders wasn't bad enough, an investigation by the Buckeye Firearms Association has confirmed that the Sandusky Register has another problem - the newspaper's database contains false information!

12:05am Tuesday, July 17, 2007
The NRA is reporting that the U.S. House Appropriations Committee voted on July 12 to protect language commonly known as the "Tiahrt Amendment," rejecting two separate amendments designed to strike and gut the language, in the Commerce, Justice, and Science appropriations bill for Fiscal Year 2008.

Failure to Inform: CHL-holders taking a big risk on Ohio roadways

by Chad D. Baus
12:10am Monday, July 16, 2007
There are mounds of evidence that most members of the pro-gun community care deeply about the rule of law. We spend lots of money to ensure we are in compliance with the law. We spend lots of time discussing the law in discussion forums, and even more time and money trying to improve laws in our state capitols. It is never pleasant when we have to air dirty laundry, or have it aired for us in an...
