Under the Kasich Administration, and especially ODNR Director James Zehringer, the position of Division of Wildlife Chief has been a revolving door. Ray Petering, who was fired on July 5, is the latest victim in what appears to be a "don't let the door hit you on the way out" policy. The firing was likely in political retribution for the license fee increase that was opposed by the Kasich...

(Image source: FreeImages.com/Debbie Schiel) Every once in a great while, an independent-minded United Kingdom official is overcome with a bout of common sense on firearms. However, such outbursts of reason are typically short-lived, as the gun control apostate becomes the immediate target of the country’s anti-gun establishment politicians and media.

I would encourage all of you to watch the recently released dash cam footage of the shooting if you have not done so. Watch the whole incident. It’s tragic.
