May 15, 2004 Columbus Dispatch "Dr. Johnston," a colleague asked me yesterday, "Aren’t you going to fill out the application to keep concealed weapons out of your office?" A physician wouldn’t want guns in his office, right? I walked into the hospital to see a patient yesterday, and I saw one of the placards: "No weapons of any kind are allowed inside this building."

This woman moved, changed her phone number, and even obtained a protection order to hide from this stalker. Had she obtained a CHL, some Ohio newspapers would have aided this man with his goal of pursuing her, by publishing her name with other CHL-holders, as callously as they would publish a list of sex offenders.

by Chad D. Baus UPDATE: National City Bank reconsidering Ohio CCW stance? The following story should be read in the context of this reality: According to the FBI, under the 150-year old concealed carry ban, Ohio earned one of the highest rates of bank robbery in the nation.

May 15, 2004 Cleveland Plain Dealer by Sam Fulwood III Ohioans for Concealed Carry PAC is an organization of gun-toting activists who believe that well-dressed citizens should accessorize their wardrobes with loaded weapons.

May 13, 2004 Toledo Blade I read with amusement Toby Hoover's hand-wringing lament in Readers' Forum on Ohio's new concealed-carry law. A culture of fear? You bet.
