Letter to the Editor: Miss-Led is a bigot

7:09am Monday, June 28, 2004
June 27, 2004 Toledo Blade I was intrigued by Marilou Johanek's June 18 column regarding Ohio's new concealed-carry law. In the course of her ill-informed rant against this law she made mention of "obsessive nuts" and "misguided ideologues with aggressive tendencies." I think that I'll leave the name-calling to her. What was most telling about Ms. Johanek's column was her assertion that Ohioans...

Letters: An unconcealed attempt to scare gun opponents

1:45pm Saturday, June 26, 2004
June 26, 2004 Cleveland Plain Dealer The June 20 pdQ article "Ohio concealed-weapon law carries its own smoking gun" portrayed a 12-gun-toting, villainous fictional character, "Captain Ohio." I see this as another misrepresentation of the character of law-abiding citizens who have earned the privilege to carry concealed weapons.
