Clark County: ''Concealed carry law mostly popular with older people''

In addition to having been the only Ohio "blue" county from 2000 to have gone Bush Red in 2004 (a British newspaper's letter-writing campaign asking independent voters to choose Kerry couldn't have hurt), Clark County now has another interesting claim to fame: There are nearly 800 people who have made the choice to bear arms for self-defense in the county, and the average age of CHL-holders in...

Letter to the Editor: Cleveland Free Times' "trifecta of political failure"

November 10, 2004 Cleveland Free Times edited to topic PUT THAT IN YOUR QUIXOTIC PIPE I am writing now for two reasons. First, I'm a procrastinator and kept forgetting. Second, I was awaiting the last of three events to take place.

Letter to the Editor: Kerry is very weak on gun rights

October 31, 2004 Toledo Blade John Kerry a hunter and strong supporter of the Second Amendment? His voting record in the Senate sure does not reflect that. He never voted with gun owners or for that matter any issues that benefited hunters. And when he and John Edwards leave the campaign trail to cast their votes for the semi-automatic weapons ban, that certainly says to me that they are not the...

Letter to the Editor: Kerry pandering, not hunting

October 27, 2004 Newark Advocate John Kerry runs around with a shotgun under his arm on the campaign trail for a good reason: Just as he is trying to fool minorities into believing his lies to get their vote, he is trying to fool gun owners into believing he is pro-Second Amendment to get their votes also. Here are some facts on his record: Kerry co-sponsored a bill that would ban all semi-...
