I keep looking at it, somewhat bemused. It bears a photo of me looking grim, some personal information, and a number that I can only assume represents my place in the line of people who have applied and been accepted...

Another Ohio journalist stands up for the Second Amendment...and you won't believe who her editor is

12:10am Tuesday, May 06, 2008

Baus Mention the words " Sandusky Register " or "Editor Matt Westerhold" to a Concealed Handgun License (CHL)-holder and the reaction will not be pleasant, even nearly a year after one newspaper editor's declaration of war on Ohio CHL-holders.

Tech more secure a year after massacre,” USA Today promotes lies and the exact feel good head in the sand mindset that helped a sick man kill 32 innocent people a year ago.
