The glory and stupidity of upland season opening day

by Larry S. Moore I celebrated yet another wonderful opening day of upland game season in Ohio. Upland game season remains the traditional day of fellowship and celebration for me. I think that is because, of my age, the hunting traditions to which my father, uncle and cousins introduced me was upland game. The 1960s offered limited deer hunting and no turkey hunting in Ohio. It was squirrel...

Election 2010: Pro-gun rights voters play major roll in statewide contests

by Chad D. Baus & Jim Irvine The voters have spoken. While a lot can and will be said about this election, as a non-partisan, one-issue PAC, our post-election analysis will stay focused on observations regarding how the outcome will affect gun rights issues in the months and years to come. U.S. Senate: In a must win race for gun owners, Rob Portman (R) defeated anti-gun and F-rated Lee Fisher...

"How John Kasich lost my vote only days before the election" and other letters from gun owners voting freedom first

Two more die behind a "no guns" sign

by Jim Irvine There was a double murder on Friday at Park-Ohio in Cleveland. The business has "no guns" signs posted, but as we have seen demonstrated many times, killers do not obey the signs. The victims always obey them, and are dead. Maybe that was part of the killer's plans. The accused killer was a former employee. He knew company policy and protocol. He likely knew of the "no guns" signs...

Op-Ed: Medical Journal Bias on Guns
