Under new (MO) law, no permit will be needed to hide pistols in cars, group says

2:55pm Tuesday, September 23, 2003
This Thursday, Ohio's two major law enforcement groups, the Buckeye State Sheriffs Association and the Ohio Fraternal Order of Police, will try to convince the Ohio State Highway Patrol that the language they encouraged the Senate to adopt in Am. Sub. HB12 is regarding carrying firearms in vehicles is UNSAFE. This story from Missouri highlights just how ridiculous are the concerns of the OSHP. In...

Letter to the Editor: Never been repealed

10:59am Saturday, September 20, 2003
September 10, 2003 Portsmouth Daily Times Dodge City, bloodbaths, shootouts in the streets, wild west scenarios, road rage shootouts, lower level of law enforcement safety. These are phrases that have been used many, many times in the 44 states that now have a realistic concealed carry law. These very same words are now in use in the remaining states that have not passed that realistic concealed...

Op-Ed: Three months in Minnesota, citizens still law-abiding

10:56am Friday, September 19, 2003
.00025%. 2 out of 8000 That's how many right-to-carry permits the state of Minnesota has revolked since it began to issue them three months ago. And like most cases involving the tiny fraction of withdrawn licenses in other states, in both Minnesota cases the permit was not at issue in the matters necessitating the revolkation. For an excellent op-ed from a columnist who appears to be being...

Letter to the Editor: Ban the Tomatoes?

1:02pm Thursday, September 18, 2003
September 18, 2003 Akron Beacon-Journal I am in favor of stricter gun control because of people like the person who fired a shotgun into a Holmes County cornfield and killed a 23-year-old (``Enraged motorist kills prankster,'' Beacon Journal, Sept. 3). His reaction was absurd and certainly not appropriate. But why is it that people have not commented on the dangers of throwing objects at vehicles...

Letter to the Editor: Second Amendment rights infringed by Taft

12:18pm Thursday, September 18, 2003
September 12, 2003 Newark Advocate Another Fourth of July has come and gone, and there is not a more revealing and compelling picture of why we are free to celebrate the Fourth of July than a picture of a quill pen lying next to a musket rifle on a table along with a draft of the Declaration of Independence. What followed the Declaration of Independence reveals why the musket at the table is...

4:54pm Wednesday, September 17, 2003
We wish the Plain Dealer editorial board would explore their roots on the issue of firearms. We didn't know her, but we will miss her. Marnie Vail McCausland, a sure shot 09/16/03 Services for Marnie Vail McCausland, a National Rifle Association women's muzzleloading rifle champion whose family owned The Plain Dealer for more than 80 years, will be at 1 p.m. today at Vorhis Funeral Home, 5501...

Ohio Should Follow Missouri's Lead and Pass Concealed Carry, Says CCRKBA

10:59pm Thursday, September 11, 2003
BELLEVUE, Wash., Sept. 11 /U.S. Newswire/ -- State lawmakers in Ohio should take a signal from their counterparts in Missouri, who just voted to override a veto by Gov. Bob Holden, making it possible for residents of the Show Me State to begin legally carrying concealed firearms for their personal protection, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) said today. Both the...

Letter to the Editor: Carjacker protection ranks kids as less important

3:30pm Wednesday, September 10, 2003
September 10, 2003 Newark Advocate Here is another reason a large group of Ohio citizens are fed up with Taft. The Ohio Legislature has not passed a realistic concealed-carry law. How many more people will be robbed, raped, physically battered, stabbed, shot or even killed simply because they were law-abiding citizens of Ohio? The passage of HB12 would have been the answer in assisting in the...
