There are more stories pertaining to our gun rights in Ohio then we can possibly draw attention to with individual daily commentary. But they are all worthy of mention.
What follows is our review of headlines from around the state though a pro-gun rights lens.
From an attempted attack at a Denny's to Eric Holder, these articles should be a part of your required reading!
What follows is several days of headlines accompanied by short, concise pro-gun analysis.
2/9/09: Dayton, Ohio: Denny's Customers Threatened With Box Cutter

Violence can happen anywhere at anytime. Always be prepared to defend yourself!
2/9/09: Statewide: Lee Fisher Sets Up Committee To Explore Senate Run
From the article:
Barely a month after U.S. Sen. George Voinovich said he will not seek reelection, the race for his seat in 2010 is heating up. Ohio Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher, a Democrat, today filed paperwork for an exploratory committee for the Senate seat.
Hopefully Fisher will NOT run. We do NOT need another gun grabber in the Senate.
2/8/09: Coshocton, Ohio: Shooting Sports Classes Offered
From the article:
Openings are available for a number of 4-H classes.
They are offering some great classes in muzzleloading, shotguns, and even archery. Check them out if you can.

From the article:
Miami Township Police said a 14 -year- old called in the threat around noon to the Dayton Christian School. The 1,100 students were moved to nearby church, where one told administrators about the weapon.
Thankfully, this incident turned out OK. It may not the next time. That is why we should allow teachers and school staff to carry firearms for protection.
2/5/09: Lorain County, Ohio: Marshals: Armed, Dangerous Prisoner Released By Mistake
From the article:
The U.S. Marshals said a suspect was released from the Lorain Correctional Institution on Saturday by mistake and is now believed to be a violent and dangerous fugitive.

2/2/09: Akron, Ohio: Pizza Delivery Driver Says He Was Kidnapped, Robbed
From the article:
A pizza deliveryman said he was robbed and forced to drive around Akron Saturday night.
Police said the Papa John's Pizza driver had delivered food to friends from the Waterloo Road store at about 9 p.m. when he was confronted by a man with a handgun.
Pizza delivery drivers actually have a dangerous job. Unfortunately, most pizza shops forbid their drivers from carrying a handgun for protection.
2/2/09: Nationwide: Holder Becomes First Black Attorney General
From the article:
During Senate debates on Monday, Republicans brought up several issues -- most notably Holder's role in the controversial pardon for fugitive financier Marc Rich.
They also argued Holder was hostile to gun control, and not fully supportive of the war on terrorism.
Now we have the most anti-gun Attorney General of all time to help the most anti-gun President to regulate the Second Amendment out of existence.
