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.

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...
