Letter to the Editor: CCW lament focused on the wrong people
May 13, 2004

I read with amusement Toby Hoover's hand-wringing lament in Readers' Forum on Ohio's new concealed-carry law. A culture of fear? You bet. But she's focused on the wrong group of people. The "fearful" ones are now the perpetrators and criminals who reside in this state. They now know that they are very likely to make a serious and perhaps terminal mistake in their victim selection process.
They are at a distinct disadvantage now because they will not know which law-abiding citizen is armed and able to protect himself or herself from attack. Except, of course, for liberals like Ms. Hoover, who make the mistake of publicly declaring their willingness to become victims.
