Columbus Dispatch Sunday, May 25, 2003 In answer to the lecture on the concealed-carry gun law from Dr. Jonathan Groner (letter, May 14), I wonder if he has been so preoccupied with the deaths of shooting victims that he has missed the many victims of drug overdoses, lawn-mower amputations, auto accidents, muggings, rapes, assaults, robberies and the ever-present fear of being a victim of any...

10:41am Tuesday, May 27, 2003
Yet another pro-CCW letter to the editor has been printed in the Zanesville Times-Recorder. May 27, 2003 I enjoyed reading Mr. Bill Carper's letter to the editor today and his position on Ohio's unconstitutional ban on the rights of lawful Ohioans to carry a concealed firearm for self defense.

4:00pm Friday, May 23, 2003
An excellent letter to the editor has been published in the Toledo Blade . The only thing we wonder is why Mr. Stevens has been trying to "stay out of the debate"!

However, I cannot idly sit by without responding to an article regarding the shooting at Case Western Reserve University. It is the...
