A Fool For All Seasons

3:00pm Thursday, April 01, 2010
By Jim Shepherd When I first started in journalism, most of the reporters and editors in the business enjoyed April 1. It was the day we might actually get to write the silly headlines, fabricated stories and outrageous quotes we joked about the other days of the year. Not so much anymore. It would be difficult to make up stories any more bizarre and outrageous than the ones that seem to consume...

Court Rules Concealed Carry Law Violates Workplace Safety Laws

7:00am Thursday, April 01, 2010
By Ken Hanson, Esq. A three judge panel today ruled that Ohio's concealed carry law impermissibly violates several provisions of the state's employment laws. In what is sure to be a controversial opinion, the court held that "a person's so-called right to self-defense cannot infringe upon the right of a person to be free from violence in their workplace. The evidence before us is clear – allowing...

How to get the signs to come down at "no guns" businesses

7:00am Friday, March 26, 2010
By Jim Irvine I needed to buy a new car. I knew what I wanted; it was just a matter of what dealership to buy from. The one most convenient to me was posted "no guns." So I had planned to buy elsewhere and send them one of our "No Guns = No Money" cards . But I decided it would be much better if I could just talk them into un-posting their business. I have talked many businesses into removing the...

"Gun-Free" Chicago experiences a 9/11 once every four years

7:00am Thursday, March 25, 2010
By Gerard Valentino Chicago is the center of the gun world as all parties involved in the gun debate in America await the Supreme Court ruling on whether the longtime citywide gun ban is constitutional. Sadly, if there is a city that would benefit from more permissive gun laws for law-abiding citizens it is Chicago. What many people don't realize is there have been over 13,000 murders in Chicago...

Editorials suggest coordinated (and misguided) opposition to SB239

7:00am Wednesday, March 24, 2010
By Chad D. Baus & Jim Irvine In what could be viewed as an almost-sure sign that SB239 will become law in Ohio, the state's newspapers once again appear to have coordinated their editorials in opposition to the pro-self-defense bill over the weekend, just as they did with SB184 (Ohio's Castle Doctrine law), HB347 (Ohio's statewide preemption law), and HB12 (Ohio's original concealed carry law...

Toledo Blade editors wish recent robbery victims had been unarmed

7:00am Tuesday, March 23, 2010
By Gerard Valentino The Ohio media's opposition stance on changing laws to protect innocent people was inexplicable, until now. In the wake of two separate incidents recently where Toledo retail store workers used firearms to defend against armed robbers, The Toledo Blade has finally come right out and said that society would be a better place if criminals, not honest people, had the upper hand...

Early opponents to SB239 singing the same tired song

3:00pm Friday, March 19, 2010
By Chad D. Baus Many of the usual characters have come out with early opposition to SB239, Ohio's restaurant carry and car carry reform bill . But after years of hearing the same old, tired warnings, and years of experience which prove their predictions false, I'm hopeful their predictably dire warnings, some of which are outlined below, will be given much less attention in the Statehouse this...

Ohio's lone gun ban lobbyist says "this whole fear thing" is to blame for record increase in CCW licenses

3:00pm Wednesday, March 17, 2010
By Gerard Valentino & Chad D. Baus Despite suffering legislative loss after legislative loss over the past several years, Toby Hoover, seemingly the lone voice of Ohio's anti-gun movement, continues her crusade to destroy gun rights in Ohio. In her most recent comments, published by the Mansfield News , Hoover accused the pro-gun movement of using a culture of fear to foist concealed carry on...
