By Chad D. Baus When a notorious op-ed columnist from the Toledo Blade recently took her latest swipe at OhioCCW in a piece criticizing the job Bob Taft is doing as governor, by claiming that when Taft signed House Bill 12 he "gave the state something most of its citizens never sought or desired", I decided to ask her a few questions. And just as another member of the media did recently, Marilou...

Does posting a sign make it a''gun free'' community?

11:10am Monday, May 09, 2005

When OhioCCW became law, Columbus Mayor Mike Coleman ran to a city park, set up a press conference in front of a jungle gym, and expressed how appalled he was that city officials were prohibited from banning firearms in their parks.

1:48pm Saturday, May 07, 2005

By Brian Horton OFCC TeamLeader & CCW-Talk Moderator I think that the DDN round table at Sinclair College went very well. Like Larry Moore I was pleasantly surprised that this really was a fair discussion. I thought Dr. Richard D.

In recent years, the pickings for Ohio gun owners have been slim when it came to the governors' race. Whether it was George Voinovich or Bob Taft, the OhioGOP simply has not had much to offer people concerned with the protection of our self-defense rights. Choices among Democrat contenders were even worse. The 2006 GOP primary promises, for once, to offer gun owners a choice on the matter - a...

It is difficult to reconcile this statement with the Plain Dealer's repeated abuse of the Media Access Loophole by publishing the private, personal information of consumers...
