Cincinnati City Council sees need for guns; reverses Mayor's decision to weaken security at City Hall

By Chad D. Baus Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory has gone to great lengths over the years to prove his anti-gun, anti-self defense creds. As a State Senator, Mark Mallory spoke out against persons who participated in open carry 'Defense Walk' demonstrations (they were protesting an Ohio Supreme Court ruling upholding what was then a 100 year-old ban on concealed carry) and voted against the...

By Chad D. Baus I've spent the last few weeks examining the choices left on the GOP primary ballot. I thought on this Ohio Primary eve I would take a look the choices my pro-gun Democrat friends are facing.

Buckeye Firearms Association 2008 Primary Endorsements

Buckeye Firearms Association is proud to announce our endorsements for the March 4th Ohio primary elections. The impact you can make on these races cannot be overstated. Due to the limited number of people who vote in primary elections, each vote counts as a greater percentage of the total votes cast. In past years strong pro-gun candidates have lost by as few as 10 votes. Can there be any doubt...

The long-awaited return of the Gun Show to Columbus!
