HB347 a nice start to CCW Cleanup

By Chad D. Baus When HB347 was first introduced in September 2005, the Ohio media gave almost total focus on a provision which sought to limit journalist access to CHL-holder records. Once that provision was removed and placed in another piece of legislation, very little time was spent by the media to inform Ohioans about the many other improvements to Ohio law contained in HB347. Although it had...

History from the Barrel of a Gun

12:05am Thursday, January 04, 2007
By Gerard Valentino Those on the left try to paint the history of humankind as a constant evolving process of refinement and increasing levels of civilized behavior with all major advances discovered by the scientific method. They also try to paint war as barbaric and only useful to cover upcoming administration scandals or, if a Republican president is responsible for using force, as a political...

12:10am Tuesday, January 02, 2007
By Larry S. Moore Ohio sportsmen have many things for which to be thankful. Looking at the national outdoor media, there are states, which still have blue laws prohibiting Sunday hunting.
