2013 - The Year In Review

7:00am Tuesday, December 31, 2013
by Chad D. Baus While there is far too much to cover in a single article, we reflect on some of the important events of 2013. January: The year begins where 2012 ended, as the country continues to discuss yet another horrific mass murder which occurred in a place where guns are banned. Images from Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT and news of 20 children being ruthlessly murdered...

Dozens of Ohio Schools Change Gun Policies to Defend Students

7:00am Monday, December 30, 2013
by Jason Hart Dozens of school districts across Ohio made some allowance for handguns on campus in the year following the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, a recent Buckeye Firearms Foundation (BFF) survey found. "There are at least 20 different school districts in Ohio that have authorized individuals such as teachers, administrators and parents to carry firearms in...

Op-Ed: Blowing Smoke

3:00pm Friday, December 27, 2013
by C. D. Michel The only thing cigarettes and guns have in common is that they both produce smoke. But if a pack of duplicitous San Francisco lawyers gets their way, your guns will soon be classified as a public health hazard and regulated like seat belts and Marlboros. On November 14th, 2013 the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence (LCPGV) held a public meeting that was streamed live to fellow...

Op-Ed: Clustered criminals habituate homicide

3:00pm Thursday, December 26, 2013
by C. D. Michel Nearly 50% of all gun homicides involve only 4% of inner city gangsters. This is common, but not widely publicized, knowledge. It's a fact deliberately underemphasized by the Brady Campaign, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, and other gun ban advocates at the Happy Acres Home For the Terminally Bewildered. But a recent study by a sociology...

To make schools safer, arm trained and trusted employees

3:00pm Monday, December 23, 2013
Editor's Note: The following op-ed was originally published by the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Republished with permission of the author. by Kevin O'Brien Karl Pierson didn't fit the profile. He wasn't a certified loser. He wasn't a wallflower. He didn't spend 18 hours a day locked in his room battering his brain with death metal. He was a Boy Scout. He was a member of the Arapahoe High School debate...

Lessons from another school shooting

by Jim Irvine
7:00am Monday, December 23, 2013
While we still don't know all the details, it is possible to learn from early reports on a school shooting near Denver. We can look at what worked and what did not. Those who care to make schools safer will choose to copy aspects that worked. Unfortunately our recent survey shows that many school officials have chosen to ignore the life-saving lessons and leave untold thousands of children at...

A Cautionary Tale for Concealed Handgun Licensees on Third Party Self-Defense

3:00pm Friday, December 20, 2013
by Greg Ellifritz Recently at work I responded to a chaotic situation. It started out as an "Officer in Trouble" call...the one we never want to hear. That's the call that is saved for only the most dire situations. When a fellow cop airs that code, every other cop within 10 miles (regardless of jurisdiction) rolls out. And by "roll out," I mean move heaven and earth to get to the scene as...

Introduction to Firearm Suppressors

Larry S. Moore
7:00am Friday, December 20, 2013
Call them suppressors, silencers, mufflers or "a can," but by whatever name you wish, the use of suppressor seems to have an identity problem. While the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) primarily uses the words firearm muffler or silencer, I prefer the term suppressor. Suppressors are legal for Ohio residents to own but not legal for hunting use. As I investigated the...
