Submitted by cbaus on Sat, 11/30/2002 - 13:18.A second major Ohio newspaper has printed a letter to the editor from Ohioans for Concealed Carry President Jeff Garvas.
Two days after writing a horribly misinformed anti-CCW editorial, the Columbus Dispatch printed Garvas' letter (subscription site- paid access only).
Garvas' letter was published on November 18 in the Zanesville Times Recorder, and can be read by clicking here.
Daily Reporter: ''Concealed weapon law to be addressed before year's end''
Submitted by cbaus on Sat, 11/30/2002 - 12:41."With two weeks worth of legislative sessions remaining this year, lawmakers hope to reach a compromise on legislation that would allow Ohioans to carry concealed handguns, while satisfying law enforcement officials' concerns and avoiding the veto of Gov. Bob Taft, according to officials."
"The amendments will try to bridge the gap between the bill's current supporters, including members of the gun lobby, and its opponents, who include Taft and the Fraternal Order of Police. Taft has said he would veto a bill that lacked the support of law enforcement."
OFCC PAC Commentary:
In reading this entire Columbus Daily Reporter article, it is obvious this reporter, Jeremy Holden, has only got contact information in his rolodex for those who oppose this bill.
Interested persons may email Mr. Holden suggestions on others from whom he should get quotes if he wants to file a more accurate, complete report. You may also wish to email his boss, editor Cindy Ludlow.
