Two recent incidents (in Columbus and Dayton) of children misusing firearms have people asking questions. Shouldn't the law mandate that guns be locked up in homes where children live? Shouldn't we just outlaw guns so they can never be left lying around by irresponsible adults?

Since the host of existing gun control laws that made what these children did illegal did nothing to prevent these incidents, there is no reason to suspect new ones would.

What Ohioans should be asking is: Why didn't the parents and school system offer a gun safety course (Stop! Don't Touch! Leave the area! Tell an adult!) to these children, such as the NRA's Eddie Eagle program?

The Akron Beacon Journal is reporting that Police arrested a Leetonia man on charges of kidnapping and carrying a concealed weapon Monday morning after he allegedly confronted his estranged wife as she was arriving for work in Cuyahoga Falls.

There were no serious injuries, but responding officers used a Taser to shock the man and take him into custody after he fled the scene, Cuyahoga Falls police Lt. Jeff Childers told the newspaper.

Childers identified the suspect as 26-year-old Chad R. Kaminski. According to the story, he also was charged with possession of a weapon while under felony indictment for a previous arrest.
