Letter to the Editor: Law-abiding Ohioans have right to carry guns

2:35pm Thursday, September 09, 2004
September 9, 2004 Port Clinton News Herald Regarding your editorial "Cities should have right to ban guns in parks," I believe you have missed several important points. Gun laws, like many other laws, need to be consistent across the state. That is why speed limits and traffic laws operate within certain guidelines across the state. Seatbelt laws designed to make us safer are consistent across...

August 26, 2004 Toledo City Paper Why are you reporting who carries guns and who doesn’t? I really hope you thought it through well before you made those law-abiding citizens’ names available on your Web site ["Packing heat," TCP Aug. 12-18].
