Letter to the Editor: Grassroots effort needed to pass concealed carry

The Zanesville Times Recorder has published a letter to the editor about concealed carry from Zanesville resident Harold E. Newell, Jr. Below are a couple of favorite exerpts:

Exerpt #1:

When Governor Taft was running for office he stated that if the bill for Concealed Carry for Ohioans came before him, he would sign it. Then after he got into office the verbage was changed to he would sign it if all law enforcement agreed with it. Now he is trying to make sure that it doesn't end up on his desk for signature.

Exerpt #2:

What is happening now is that the Senate made changes to the House bill, that passed with enough votes to override a veto by Taft, in hopes that it will be tabled and not passed. The Senate now is supposed to name Senators of a committee to meet with the House and work out the differences. But Senator White is sitting on it and not naming anyone to the committee. Aslanides is ready and waiting to make it right before getting it passed but he needs our help.

Contact your representative and/or senator and demand that the bill be finished and the anti-gun wording be taken out of this bill and passed.
