I have had enough experience with the anti-gun /self-defense bias in the press to begin to wonder if there is something wrong with the water used at major journalism schools in this country - some toxic agent that it wipes out all logical function of the brain.

As I read “Use Of Deadly Force: Store Owners Fighting Back” by Brendan Keefe, an article done for WCPO Channel 9 (Cincinnati's ABC affiliate), this notion was reinforced. The article complains that store owners were actually taking up arms to fight the criminals who robbed their shops. It went on to bemoan that Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters was letting this happen by not prosecuting the store owners, even when they chased down the criminal off property after the robbery.

The 70th Ohio House District (representing Xenia, Beavercreek, Fairborn and Bath Township) has a crowded field of entrants in the Republican primary. I’ve met all the candidates. They are all good men with a variety of backgrounds, small business owners, professionals and family men.

So what sets Jarrod Martin apart? What made the difference that would cause me to volunteer to help him even though I reside in the neighboring 84th Ohio House District?
