by Larry S. Moore

7:00am Tuesday, October 29, 2019

A local reader gave me a number of copies of the old Ohio Conservation Bulletin magazine a few years ago. At that time I glanced through them but laid them aside. This spring I got them out for a closer look. I found fascinating information about the history of ODNR, the conservationists, writers and issues from sixty-years ago. The ODNR headquarters was 1500 Dublin Road, Columbus, which is now...

by Jim Irvine

7:00am Monday, October 28, 2019

Senators Cecil Thomas (D) and Hercial Craig (D) have introduced Senate Bill 202, titled “Local Authority – To restore local authority to generally regulate firearms related conduct.” It's a nice-sounding name, but it should scare the heck out of every gun owner.

Democratic candidates gathered in Ohio to agree on how much they can’t stand lawful gun ownership, disagreeing only on who was the most deeply offended. Mayor Pete Buttigieg and former Congressman Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke (D-Texas) scuffled about whose furrowed brows over law-abiding gun ownership was more courageous, but that masked the slips on stage. AR-15 = Terror O’Rourke took the...

Report: How technology problems and clerical errors could allow felons to purchase guns in Ohio

by Chad D. Baus

7:00am Wednesday, October 23, 2019

On March 1, 2018, the Cincinnati Enquirer published a report exposing the fact that hundreds or perhaps even thousands of felons in Ohio could still be allowed to pass a background check to purchase a firearm, all because dozens of Ohio courts are delinquent - sometimes by months or even years - in their responsibility to upload some paperwork.

Throughout his years as mayor, Jackson has sought to punish law-abiding gun owners for the violence in his crime-plagued city again and again and again. But as recent headlines continue to show, if Jackson really wanted to do something about crime, he would start...
