10:01am Monday, January 19, 2004
January 18, 2004 Toledo Blade Types and jail terms vary, but crime numbers alike in U.S., Canada BOWLING GREEN - Projecting two images onto a large screen, Rosemary Gartner presented the common perception of the settlers of both the American and Canadian frontiers. One drawing showed an unarmed Canadian mounted policeman, typically known as a "Mountie." The other depicted a gun-slinging cowboy. "...

Editorial: Concealed-carry law long overdue

9:25pm Friday, January 16, 2004
Jan. 9, 2004 Lima News Ohioans finally will be able to carry concealed weapons. The bill isn't perfect, but it is long overdue. Ohio lawmakers have taken far too long in allowing residents of the state the ability to protect themselves. Gov Bob Taft on Thursday signed a bill passed by the Ohio House and Senate to allow Ohioans to carry concealed weapons. The bill has flaws that will need...

SPIRIT OF THE OHIO PRESS

11:53am Friday, January 16, 2004
This parody of Mark Twain's "Journalism In Tennessee" (c. 1871), was adapted by Dan White, OFCC Membership Coordinator, as a humorous response to the many Rotten Apples and Sour Grapes in the Ohio media. The inveterate liars of the Lorain Morning Journal and Akron Beacon Journal are evidently endeavoring to palm off upon a noble and chivalrous people another of their vile and brutal falsehoods...

Dear Mr. Hallett...

11:22am Friday, January 16, 2004
The following is written in response to Columbus Dispatch editor Joe Hallett's editorial, "Common sense was checked at the door when gun bill was passed" . You have to be kidding By Gerard Valentino Over the last ten years I've lived in seven states and Ohio is the only place where so called columnists simply refuse to look the facts in the face. Your absurd, unfounded and insulting assertion...

Despite excellent letters, Cleveland Plain Dealer editors no closer to reality

3:12pm Thursday, January 15, 2004
Even the title of this section proves the editors at the Cleveland Plain Dealer just don't get it. They say readers are "upset by the lists that aren't published." But as you can see from reading, it's not the lists they aren't publishing that has Plain Dealer readers seeing red. Rather, it's the hypocracy revealed in which lists the paper is so vehemently committed to publishing. 01/15/04...

Op-Ed: Right to self-defense is worth preserving

12:39pm Thursday, January 15, 2004
January 15, 2004 Toledo Blade Many Englishmen feel twice victimized, by intruder and government By EILEEN FOLEY As a concealed-carry law moved toward Gov. Taft's desk, and he said "I look forward to signing it," Americans must look appreciatively to Britain and rejoice that we shucked the colonial yoke. Why? Because there self-defense is a crime, burglars have sued homeowners who shoot them, and...

Op-Ed: New gun bill raises serious questions

9:48am Wednesday, January 14, 2004
At first glance, this op-ed looks like the beginnings of yet another tortured anti-gun editorial. But this piece is well worth the read, and serves as a good reminder: no one who is unsure of their willingness to use deadly force should choose to become a Concealed Handgun License-holder. By RON SIMON Mansfield News Journal When I came home from the service back in the wicked 1960s, I brought a...

Letters to the Editor: Media would make the unarmed ''fair game''

7:46am Wednesday, January 14, 2004
January 13, 2004 Akron Beacon Journal At long last, we citizens of Ohio now have the opportunity to protect ourselves from those intent upon doing us harm. The concealed-carry legislation recently passed by both houses of the Ohio legislature is far from perfect, but it is a start.
