Ohio Attorney Marc Dann (D) has posted the 2007 Annual Report on Ohio’s Concealed Handgun License law.

Concealed carry has been legal in Ohio for over four years now and over 107,000 Ohioans are licensed to carry a gun. Add to that the people who can carry in Ohio on licenses issued by 25 other states, and it is safe to say that most people cross paths with a license holder on a daily basis.

As in every other state that passed a concealed carry law, none of the fear mongering predictions came true. There have not been widespread shootouts at fender benders, blood in the streets, shootouts ala the OK coral, fist fights turning into gun fights, scared people shooting innocent bystanders (either accidentally or on purpose). Kids have not got their hands on guns being carried concealed. Road rage has not turned into high-speed shootouts. License holders have not become cowboys or vigilantes. And no police have been shot by license holders during traffic stops.

None of the predictions made by the anti-self-defense nuts have come true. Not one.

It seems lately that colleges and guns are in the news. All too much of this news has to do with the variety of deranged individuals who have preyed upon their fellow students on campus. It has to do with the anti-gun community disgusting and rather morbid attempts to turn the death of innocent students into fund raising events. And it has to do with some courageous students taking a stand for their right to self-defense while attending college.

So, here is some good news about college students, young guns and the shooting sports that most of the mainstream media will ignore.

The collegiate college clay target championship was the largest in their 40 year history! (See press release from NSSF) Go forth and shout the good news for the shooting sports and responsible gun ownership.

So have you seen this reported on the local or national evening news? College kids and guns don’t make the news unless it is controversial. No AP stories are circulating either. No national championship parades. The saddest part of this is that the respective college football stadiums or basketball arenas will not be filled to capacity to welcome home the team.
