The following information was submitted by a reader to the www.ohioccw.org website.

It appears that Doug Clifton, editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer is a member of the Privacy Subcommittee of the Supreme Court of Ohio. This is very disturbing given his actions violating the privacy of Northeast Ohio CCW holders.

It is also interesting to note that Mr. Clifton at one time was so interested in protecting the privacy of the innocent that he intentionally distorted stories published in his newspaper.

If he succeeds in fooling gun owners, and is elected, this is what those who support John Kerry for President will be asking him to do to America's gun laws - disarm the victims, and even disarm the police!

As a man faces court charged with murdering Danielle Beccan, a Times survey finds that shootings are becoming commonplace.

The scale of gun crime in Britain since the shooting of 14-year-old Danielle Beccan in Nottingham last weekend is revealed today in a survey by The Times.

It found that a firearms offence was committed once every five hours in the six days after Danielle's death, with at least 31 gun crimes in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland between Saturday
and Thursday.

The survey results prompted a call for more armed police on the streets. Jan Berry, chair of the Police Federation of England and Wales said that the number of armed response officers had declined in recent
years despite gun crime being on the increase.

"We have expressed concern about this as the pressure on those officers trained to deal with these incidents is getting greater," she said. "In some areas - predominantly the urban areas - there should be far
more police officers carrying guns than there are at the moment, for the safety of both the public and the
police."

Her call came after Paul Evans, David Blunkett's American police adviser, said that Britain's gun crime problem had to be nipped in the bud. "The one thing you want to make sure of is that it does not get out
of control. You want to make sure that there are consequences for individuals who carry guns," he said.
