Brady/HCI's personal destruction campaign against John Lott knows no bounds

12:44pm Friday, September 19, 2003

The irony is almost beyond words. After exhaustive but failed attempts to convince campus officials that director Michael Moore's "Bowling for Columbine" film - which is under investigation for rules violations in association with his Academy Award entry - did not belong on campus television, the Second Amendment Club at Ohio University decided to promote an event on campus to ensure that the...

Op-Ed: Three months in Minnesota, citizens still law-abiding

10:56am Friday, September 19, 2003

.00025%. 2 out of 8000 That's how many right-to-carry permits the state of Minnesota has revolked since it began to issue them three months ago. And like most cases involving the tiny fraction of withdrawn licenses in other states, in both Minnesota cases the permit was not at issue in the matters necessitating the revolkation.

Letter to the Editor: Ban the Tomatoes?

1:02pm Thursday, September 18, 2003

September 18, 2003 Akron Beacon-Journal I am in favor of stricter gun control because of people like the person who fired a shotgun into a Holmes County cornfield and killed a 23-year-old (``Enraged motorist kills prankster,'' Beacon Journal, Sept. 3).

Columbus Dispatch: Police hunt for man who tried to rob pedestrian

12:33pm Thursday, September 18, 2003

This Columbus pedestrian had the extremely unfortunate opportunity to learn that running away is no more an acceptable form of self-defense than is the OSHP's suggestion to "driving off" when attacked. Apparently this criminal had no idea that carrying a concealed firearm is illegal in Ohio, and that politicians in his own city are working to keep it that way. September 15, 2003 Last month’s...

Letter to the Editor: Second Amendment rights infringed by Taft

12:18pm Thursday, September 18, 2003

September 12, 2003 Newark Advocate Another Fourth of July has come and gone, and there is not a more revealing and compelling picture of why we are free to celebrate the Fourth of July than a picture of a quill pen lying next to a musket rifle on a table along with a draft of the Declaration of Independence. What followed the Declaration of Independence reveals why the musket at the table is...
