Cincinnati CityBeat cover story: ''Armed and Next To Us''

6:00pm Wednesday, April 06, 2005
The last time we heard from Cincinnati CityBeat on the issue of concealed carry reform, it was in a race-baiting, anti-gun article by columnist Kathy F. Wilson, written just days after the first open carry Defense Walk in Cincinnati in 2003. That article accompanied another inflammatory review of the history-making Defense Walk, in which author Gregory Flannery referred to walk participants as a...

LTE: Twisting facts and data to shore up anti-gun bias

5:54pm Wednesday, April 06, 2005
April 6, 2005 Cleveland Plain Dealer Karen Tucker's March 30 letter "Fewer guns in fewer hands - not the opposite" was so void of the truth that I had to respond. Tucker complains about Plain Dealer columnist Phillip Morris wanting felons to own guns. Apparently, she did not read his whole article (March 22). Morris was referring to nonviolent offenders who have since been law-abiding. Tucker's...

The fallout from the most recent "no-guns" zone massacre at Red Lake High in Minnesota continues to reverberate. On April 2, the New Hampshire Union Leader featured guest commentary from Gun Week magazine's Dave Workman: Seven dead at a church service in Wisconsin. Three dead in an Atlanta courthouse shooting, plus one more killed later by the same man. Ten dead, including the shooter, at or near...

Headline: 'No guns' signs called a joke

8:19pm Monday, April 04, 2005
The Columbus Dispatch is has, to its credit, finally done what other Ohio newspapers have failed to do. As part of its "Conceal-Carry Anniversary" coverage, the newspaper has published a story examining the problem of criminals taking guns into businesses and public areas posted with "no-guns" signs, and investigated two recent incidents of disarmed CHL-holders being victimized because they had...

Letters to the Editor: Posting signs won't keep parks safe

8:15pm Monday, April 04, 2005
April 2, 2005 Toledo Blade If he wants to prevent crime in Toledo's city parks, Mayor Jack Ford is looking in the wrong direction. Despite having these rules declared "invalid" by the Ohio Attorney General, there is no doubt Toledo Police Chief Michael Navarre will carry out Mr. Ford's attempts to enforce a ban on concealed handgun license-holders in secluded parks and hiking trails by pressing...

5:05am Sunday, April 03, 2005
April 1, 2005 Cleveland Plain Dealer In light of Jessica Lunsford's murder in Florida and Jetseta Gage's murder in Iowa, both at the hands of convicted sexual predators, why doesn't The Plain Dealer publish the names of known sexual predators instead of publishing the names of concealed-carry license holders? I, for one, am not really concerned about who is licensed to carry a concealed weapon...
