Victim Zones: We have to move the goal posts

By Gerard Valentino

Two more businesses where legal concealed carry is banned were robbed last week in Ohio. A BMV office on the east side of Columbus (a victim zone by statute) was robbed on the same day as a branch of Fifth Third Bank, which is a "gun free" zone due to the company’s private policy.

Clearly, it doesn’t matter why concealed carry is forbidden at a location, because the results are usually the same. Only the criminal will be armed despite the signs or laws that ban ownership of firearms to people with a felony conviction. In both of these cases the patrons were left at the whim of a street thug because honest people follow the law and criminals don’t.

BOOK REVIEW: “Hunting as a Right of Passage” by Dr. Randall Eaton

By Larry S. Moore

I often look at books and studies relating to hunting, trapping or Second Amendment issues. Some are saved for possible reference; most are skimmed and discarded, while occasionally the author really grabs my attention. Perhaps this is because the author is breaking new ground, presenting the facts and conclusion in a fresh manner, or even just reaffirming values that were passed from my ancestors to me. Rarely does the author combine all these facets into one work. That is exactly what Dr. Randall Eaton has done with his ongoing study of animal and human behavior combined with hunting.
