Letter to the Editor: A more valid examination of Texas gun statistics

11:57am Wednesday, August 11, 2004
August 11, 2004 Cleveland Plain Dealer Karen Tucker states (Letters, Aug. 3), "Texas permit holders were arrested for weapons-related offenses at a rate 66 percent higher than that of the general population of the state." Since by definition, 100 percent of permit holders have weapons and only a small percentage of the general population have weapons, this statistic proves what, exactly? When one...

Strike Two: Another PD editor tries to justify discriminatory actions

3:08pm Tuesday, August 10, 2004
Those who catch the headline of Phillip Morris' latest column in the Cleveland Plain Dealer may gain the impression that at least one member of the editorial board is coming to understand how damaging its decision to publish the names of concealed handgun license-holders has been. Some may believe it is evidence that the paper has been asking itself what role it played in the death of Bill...

Letter to the Editor: Concealed weapon may come in handy

11:10am Monday, August 09, 2004
August 09, 2004 Cleveland Plain Dealer I happen to believe in the right to bear arms, but I had never intended to apply for a concealed-weapon permit. On Aug. 1, I was brutally assaulted by two thugs. I am almost 47 years old, and I just can't defend myself like I used to - especially against young punks. I really never saw the need to carry a weapon until this happened to me. As soon as my...

Concealed carry supporter glad to see clarification appear in Athens News

August 5, 2004 Athens News I see that you have published a clarification to the supposed "road-rage" incident involving Dr. Jeffrey McAdoo, and I want to thank you for doing so (The NEWS, Aug. 2). I have very low regard for reporters in general, but the fact that you chose to publish this correction speaks well for you, in my humble opinion. Since I have only read the correction in the online...

Letter to the Editor: Gun lists pose danger

12:26pm Thursday, August 05, 2004
August 5, 2004 Lorain Morning Journal To the Editor: William Singleton, a respected African-American Cleveland business owner, was killed Tuesday when three robbers allegedly shot him before he had time to respond to their demands. This occurred less than a week after a newspaper published his name in a list of concealed carry license holders. Criminals may be dumb, but often they are resourceful...

The PD editor and gun nuts play a strange game of chicken

4:20pm Wednesday, August 04, 2004
August 4, 2004 Cleveland Scene When Ohio's concealed-weapons law was passed with the provision that only journalists have access to the names of registered carriers, Plain Dealer Editor Doug Clifton declared that he would publish complete lists of all area residents who receive the permits.
