A grandmother's gun

12:10am Monday, May 19, 2008
By Breda of The Breda Fallacy Too often I am saddened by stories of women who fall victim to predators and I am left thinking, "If only..." If only they hadn't walked home alone, if only they hadn't trusted the wrong man...if only they'd had a gun so they could have fought back and won. Grim statistics and grisly forensics are often all that's left of what was once a bright future or a beautiful...

The Good Fight

12:10am Wednesday, May 07, 2008
By Gerard Valentino Every vocal pro-gun advocate is familiar with the condescending look of so-called friends or family members who are sure we're nothing but bloodthirsty members of the NRA cult. We've all been there when someone belittles our judgment by asking, "I hope you have those guns locked up so your kids won’t get them" or "aren’t you afraid you will shoot a family member by accident?"...

Op-Ed: Why Liberals Should Love The Second Amendment

12:05am Monday, May 05, 2008
by Angry Mouse Liberals love the Constitution. Ask anyone on the street. They'll tell you the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is a liberal organization. I know liberal couples who give each other pocket size copies of the Constitution for Christmas. Ask liberals to list their top five complaints about the Bush Administration, and they will invariably say the words "shredding" and "...

Assailant stabs man in face, kills dog in Toledo Metropark...and Justice Paul Pfeifer says this never happens

12:10am Thursday, May 01, 2008
"What's the need to be packing in a public park? What's the compelling need?" - Republican Ohio Supreme Court Justice Paul Pfeifer, April 9, 2008 By Chad D. Baus During oral arguments last month on a case challenging the City of Clyde's ban on concealed carry in its public parks, Republican Paul Pfeifer proved himself dangerously out of touch. Pfeifer remarked that he just couldn't understand why...

Armed citizen dials 911 and waits...and waits...and waits...

12:15am Monday, April 28, 2008
By Chad D. Baus Gun ban extremists and others who oppose the right of self defense are fond of saying that when a person is in danger, the best thing to do is to call 911 and let the police take care of it. But what happens when you dial 911 and the police tell you to wait...and wait...and wait? One Columbus-area business owner was wise enough to have made his own plans for that very eventuality...

Confusion reported on whether CHLs can carry during 30-day grace period after expiration date

12:10am Wednesday, April 16, 2008
Nearly half of the more than 100,000 concealed handgun licensees (CHLs) in Ohio are up for renewal in 2008, and questions on the renewal process or reports about renewal applicants' experiences in various counties continue to come in to Buckeye Firearms Association. One of the more frequently asked questions deals with whether or not a person can carry on their license during the 30-day grace...

Buckeye CCW Cards a huge success in first year

12:10am Thursday, April 03, 2008
A year ago, we came up with the idea of printing wallet cards with basic CCW rules and giving them to instructors around Ohio. We expected this to be a simple way to help instructors add value to their classes, educate CCW students, and introduce citizens to Buckeye Firearms Association. What we didn't expect was the overwhelming response to this idea. The program launched with little fanfare on...

Why a Peaceful Society is an Armed Society

12:05am Wednesday, April 02, 2008
By Gerard Valentino To hear the left scoff at the premise that an armed society is a polite society, you would think Americans are uncivilized barbarians just waiting for a chance to shoot each other.
