In the span of time it took for it to be revealed that Ohio State Highway Patrol bureaucrats improperly used $41,000 of tax money to buy an antique car, and that action was necessary to suspend or fire no less than TEN troopers for violations of various laws and policies, ZERO troopers were killed by law-abiding citizens with concealed firearms.

In recent weeks, we've told you about:

Trooper DeLong: Slept while on duty guarding Statehouse, failed to qualify with her firearm, now under investigation for use of excessive force in minor traffic stop

Trooper Burd: Fired from his job for conduct unbecoming an officer (bar fight)

Trooper Sullivan: Fired for untruthfulness and conduct unbecoming an officer

NEW this week:

Troopers Ryan & Huff fired, Troopers Escola, Slezak, Brindley, & Betts reprimanded: for conspiring to prevent attorney and former state representative from meeting with his client. (See also: Entrapment.)

It is these kinds of examples of abuses of power, and of a lack of respect for the law-abiding citizens of Ohio, that has many wondering why our governor (and Senate leaders who are enabling him) is ensuring that when it comes to reforming the state's concealed carry laws, the buck stops with a few unelected state employees at the OSHP.
