National Rifle Association urging immediate grassroots action on HB12

Ohio NRA members' various October magazines will be hitting mailboxes this week. They contain a bonus - a letter containing the following text will be inserted into every magazine: DON'T LET THE OHIO LEGISLATURE AND GOVERNOR TAFT PREVENT YOU FROM DEFENDING YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY For the first time in ten years, Right-to-Carry reform stands on the brink of being a reality in Ohio. But there are...

OH Gun Grabbers: ''Listen to law enforcement. No, not THAT law enforcement.''

For the past year or two, Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence and Million Mom March (like Bob Taft), has been fond of saying that we need to listen to "law enforcement"'s concerns about concealed carry.

Toledo gun control laws amount to colossal failure

It's getting hard to keep up with the crime headlines in Toledo. While the council and mayor chase smokers, vote to reinstate failed laws aimed at disarming the poor, and write letters to Gov. Taft opposing HB12, the innocent citizens of that city are under seige. The following headlines were all published in the past week in the Toledo Blade: Police take 20 minutes to respond to 911 call; 4 yr...

Ohio Should Follow Missouri's Lead and Pass Concealed Carry, Says CCRKBA

BELLEVUE, Wash., Sept. 11 /U.S. Newswire/ -- State lawmakers in Ohio should take a signal from their counterparts in Missouri, who just voted to override a veto by Gov.
