Letter to the Editor: There’s proof that concealed-carry laws reduce crime

9:57am Wednesday, April 02, 2003
The Canton Repository, which has printed editorials and op-ed columns favoring concealed carry reform, has printed another pro-CCW letter to the editor. "The comments in the March 21 letter “Concealed-carry law will do more harm than good” are a perfect example of people influenced by these people that pick figures out of the air and expect us to believe them. The truth is that wherever the...

Crain's Cleveland Business prints OFCC response to anti-ccw editorial

3:19pm Monday, March 31, 2003
Last week, we told you that Crain's Cleveland Business had published an editorial opposing the reformation of concealed carry laws in Ohio, which essentially mirrored a letter printed in multiple Ohio papers over the past three weeks, written by the president of the "Million" Mom March chapter of greater Cleveland. In their March 31, 2003 edition, Crain's published the official OFCC response, as...

Flashback: Ohio's CCW ban puts business owners who carry weapons under the gun

2:28pm Wednesday, March 26, 2003
In light of the poorly researched editorial published by Crain's Cleveland Business , opposing concealed carry reform, we thought it might be wise to revisit an article published by Crain's' mid-state counterpart, Columbus Business First, last July. Unlike the editorial writers at Crain's, the Business First writer obviously researched this issue in depth before writing the article, and weighed...

Pro-CCW letter to the editor in the Findlay Courier

9:45am Wednesday, March 26, 2003
A pro-CCW letter to the editor has been printed in the Findlay Courier. While we cannot concur with the writer's praise for Rep. Brinkman (he placed a principled, but counter-productive vote against HB12), and while we know Rep. Seitz is a friend of concealed carry reform efforts, the letter does a good job of referencing other states to point out that HB12 will only be hurt by the addition of...

Crain's Cleveland Business Editorial: ''Shoot it Down''

9:19am Wednesday, March 26, 2003
On March 24, Crain's Cleveland Business published an editorial opposing the reformation of concealed carry laws in Ohio. This editorial bore striking similarity to a letter printed in multiple Ohio papers over the past three weeks, written by Lori O'Neill, president of the "Million" Mom March chapter of greater Cleveland. In the editorial, Crain's editors admitted that they were a bit "far afield...

Letter to the Editor: ''Constitution worthless if gun limits upheld''

4:10pm Monday, March 24, 2003
A well-written letter to the editor appeared in Sunday's Columbus Dispatch. Because the Dispatch's website is subscription-based, we are archiving the entire letter here: "Ohio law effectively extinguishes the right to bear arms specifically guaranteed by Ohio's Constitution. In her March 16 Forum column, "Legislators shirk pressing issues to push gun bill" , Mary Ann Edwards suggested that the...

Letter to the Editor: ''Taft didn't keep his campaign promises''

3:32pm Monday, March 24, 2003
The Cincinnati Enquirer has published a letter to the editor which does an excellent job of outlining some of Gov. Bob Taft's broken campaign promises, including the one promising to support concealed carry reform. He puts it in the context of how Taft's behavior is hurting his party: "I am a strong Republican, like the majority of voters that live around me. I donate to the national, state and...

2:47pm Monday, March 24, 2003
File this story under "truths the Ohio papers refuse to print": States poised to make it easier to carry guns BY TIM JONES Chicago Tribune Gun rights advocates in several states are gaining in their efforts to liberalize firearm possession laws as public support for stronger gun-control regulation wavers. Legislatures in Missouri, Ohio, Minnesota and other states are poised to approve bills...
