Plain Dealer Abandons Journalistic Ideals in Coverage of Self-Defense News

12:15am Wednesday, April 25, 2007
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE While most of Ohio’s news media have done a fair-to-admirable job covering the issue of self-defense, Cleveland’s Plain Dealer appears to have abandoned any pretext of journalistic integrity on this topic. Consider several recent stories: A boy dies, and a gun debate is reignited (April 24, 2007), Tragedy at Virginia Tech (April 18, 2007), and Gun advocates in massacre find...

Responder Zero

12:10am Wednesday, April 25, 2007
By Clint Lake In the world of infectious diseases there is a term called ‘Patient Zero’. This is essentially the first person to start the epidemic spreading to numerous points unknown. The Center For Disease Control has the job of backtracking from the most recent recipient of the disease all the way back to ‘Patient Zero’ in order to determine how the bug transported from person to person and...

Unarmed Ohio campus security guards - and they'll stay that way

12:38pm Wednesday, April 18, 2007
While college campuses across the country examine their security procedures in the wake of the VT massacre, most campus security experts are stressing that while they try to plan for all contingencies, there really is no way to prevent one lone predator with a death wish from wreaking havoc on a college campus. But one Ohio college dean thinks she has the answer to a heavily armed criminal with...

One Time to Save a Life

12:05am Wednesday, April 18, 2007
By Gerard Valentino The establishment media’s immediate vilification of guns whenever a mass shooting happens means they forget that it only takes only one person with a concealed handgun license to stop a killer. They also refuse to accept that despite the leftist anti-gunners' cries to the contrary, when someone resists with a gun the death toll in these cases is much lower. Every single one of...

Anti-gun groups once again seek to exploit tragedy

10:30am Tuesday, April 17, 2007
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 17, 2007 Gun bans disarm victims, not criminals. That is the simple lesson that anti-gun groups refuse to acknowledge as they race to dance in the blood of the Virginia Tech tragedy. Prior to April 16, 2007, Virginia Tech was an anti-gun “success story.” Tech fought, and won, a battle against a statewide measure that would have guaranteed the right of students to...

A month of concealed carry

12:05am Tuesday, April 17, 2007
By Jim Irvine It has been one month since HB347 went into effect, eliminating the need to carry your holstered firearm in "plain sight" in a motor vehicle. That simple change still brings a smile to my face every time I get in a car. Click 'Read More' for the entire commentary. When it took until mid-December to complete the veto-override required to make HB347 law, I had concerns that we would...

Banning the guns (or the iPods) can't replace common sense

12:10am Tuesday, April 10, 2007
By Steve Loos In this latest example of the nanny state mentality comes a ridiculous story. New York State Senator Carl Kruger has proposed banning iPods and the use of other electronics at crosswalks. The reasoning behind this feel-good legislation is the claim that pedestrians are increasingly distracted by iPods, cell phones and Blackberries, allegedly resulting in a rise in traffic accidents...
