Taft asked to consider race when replacing Justice Cook on high court

Yesterday marked the deadline for applications to replace conservative Republican Justice Deborah Cook, still awaiting U.S. Senate confirmation to the Cincinnati-based 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Fifteen judges and lawyers have submitted resumes to Gov. Bob Taft for an Ohio Supreme Court vacancy that doesn’t exist yet. Taft spokesman Orest Holubec said the administration has actively...

Crain's Cleveland Business prints OFCC response to anti-ccw editorial

Last week, we told you that Crain's Cleveland Business had published an editorial opposing the reformation of concealed carry laws in Ohio, which essentially mirrored a letter printed in multiple Ohio papers over the past three weeks, written by the president of the "Million" Mom March chapter of greater Cleveland. In their March 31, 2003 edition, Crain's published the official OFCC response, as...

Gannett News Service: Anti-gun group questions concealed carry research

COLUMBUS -- Gun control advocates on Wednesday criticized the credibility of a leading firearms researcher and said lawmakers have relied too much on his flawed work in their push for concealed weapons licenses in Ohio. But the expert, author John Lott, maintains his research is valid, and supporters insist the concealed weapons concept has more justification than just those figures. Jeff Garvas...

A pro-CCW letter to the editor has been printed in the Findlay Courier. While we cannot concur with the writer's praise for Rep. Brinkman (he placed a principled, but counter-productive vote against HB12), and while we know Rep. Seitz is a friend of concealed carry reform efforts, the letter does a good job of referencing other states to point out that HB12 will only be hurt by the addition of...

Crain's Cleveland Business Editorial: ''Shoot it Down''

On March 24, Crain's Cleveland Business published an editorial opposing the reformation of concealed carry laws in Ohio. This editorial bore striking similarity to a letter printed in multiple Ohio papers over the past three weeks, written by Lori O'Neill, president of the "Million" Mom March chapter of greater Cleveland. In the editorial, Crain's editors admitted that they were a bit "far afield...

Tale of Two Cities: Parma woman brutally murdered; Stockton woman saves self
