11:55am Tuesday, March 25, 2003
Brook Park - Police remained baffled yesterday over the shooting death of Ramona Krotine, whose body was found Friday in the trunk of her car at a rapid transit station. Cuyahoga County Coroner Elizabeth Balraj said Krotine was shot once in the neck and was beaten on the neck and head. "We have no leads," Police Chief Kevin McQuaid said.

Letter to the Editor from John Lott: ''The Crash That Killed My Data''

9:22am Tuesday, March 25, 2003
After the firing of (former) Emory professor Michael Bellesiles for having falsified research in his anti-gun book , "Arming America: The Origins of a National Gun Culture", after Columbia University retracted their awarding of the Bancroft Prize to him for the book, and after having his book pulled from publication, the anti-gunner's needed to try and hit the good guys back. They thought they...

Open letter to misguided-mom-march

3:42pm Monday, March 17, 2003
It has been illegal to drive drunk, yet criminals still do so. It is illegal to buy, sell, use, and produce methamphetamines, yet criminals still will. It has been proved that no matter how many laws are enacted criminals will still violate these laws. Laws against rape robbery and assault have been on the books since the West was still the West, and not a gathering place for anti-US mamby-pamby...

Half of HB12's ''no'' votes from the Cleveland area

11:29am Saturday, March 15, 2003
Is there something in the water? As we begin to take a look at who voted how on HB12, a startling observation jumps out: Less than 1/3 of Ohio Representatives oppose reforming concealed carry laws to reflect our constitutional rights, and 1/2 of that 1/3 are from the Cleveland/ Akron area. If all of the rationale by this small minority is as illogical and uninformed as that voiced by the...

OSU Student Newspaper Publishes Anti-CCW Editorial

5:38pm Friday, March 14, 2003
"I want my tax money back. They're obviously not using it to educate who ever wrote this!" That's what one concerned citizen had to say after reading an anti-CCW editorial, published in OSU's student newspaper, "The Lantern". Witness the platitudes: "No one should feel the need to have a weapon in his or her pocket, bag or suitcase. Accidents can occur -- guns can still go off. If any random...

11:44pm Monday, March 03, 2003
A man armed with a silver handgun yesterday robbed the BP station, 3211 Briarfield Blvd., Monclova Township, marking the sixth gas station heist in two days.

9 year-old book proves Ohio Highway Patrol/ Taft wrong

12:19pm Saturday, March 01, 2003
As we have been reporting for some time now, all indications are that the Ohio Highway Patrol will again offer to carry the water for Gov. Taft by opposing HB12 due to "officer safety" concerns, unless self-defense is banned in vehicles. There has NEVER been an incident involving the threatening of an officer by a CCW permit-holder at a traffic stop (in 44 states!). On the other hand, there are...

''Don't Get Borned'' Pt. 2: Many more citizens who couldn't 'just drive away'

2:48pm Friday, February 28, 2003
By Chad D. Baus In Pt. 1 of the Reality Check for the Ohio Highway Patrol , we told you about Ohio Highway Patrol Capt. John Born expressing the OHP's opposition to any bill that would allow citizens their right to self-defense in an automobile. "We do not want a loaded firearm readily accessible to the driver of a car,'' said Born. When presented with the fact that a firearm is useless in a...
