12:15am Wednesday, November 02, 2005
By Chad D. Baus On October 25, I listened in as Rep. Jim Trakas addressed attendees at the Fulton County Republican party's annual Fall picnic. In a speech that I expected to be a kickoff for his 2006 bid to become Ohio's next Secretary of State, this strong friend to gun-owners spent very little time discussing himself or his campaign.

The Toledo Blade is reporting that two new Jack Ford campaign commercials focus on the weekend riot, and one includes the claim that the mayor "kept...

12:10am Tuesday, October 18, 2005
As Buckeye Firearms Association's Ken Hanson reminded readers in a recent op-ed , chief Mike Navarre's Toledo Police Department has a rough history when it comes to the Second Amendment.
