Unarmed Homeowner vs. Home invaders: At the mercy of animals

12:05am Monday, February 11, 2008
By Tim Inwood In August of 2007 I wrote about the July 23rd home invasion that befell the family of Dr. William Petit. It is a sort of thing that happens too often in the United States: criminals, who have been paroled then repeatedly go back to a violent life of crime, plus another family lulled into a false sense of security thinking the police will be there to protect them in their “good...

Three gun-free zones, three public shootings

4:56pm Friday, February 08, 2008
Louisiana Gun Free Zone? It is illegal to bring a firearm onto a college campus in the state of Louisiana. All of the defenseless students at Louisiana Technical College complied with the ban. One murderous 23 year-old woman did not. The results speak for themselves. Missouri Gun Free Zone? It is illegal to bring a firearm into a government building or government meeting in the state of Missouri...

Buckeye Firearms Foundation Files Brief in D.C. Gun Ban Case

12:10am Friday, February 08, 2008
The police can never be everywhere at once, and simple logic dictates that the one best able to resist criminal attack is the one being attacked. The victim will always be present at the time of the crime; the police will almost never be present, serving instead to respond to the crime after it has happened. The most fundamental rights enshrined in our legal tradition were summarized as the right...

Perfect storm for gun owners? McCain, DeWine and Giuliani join forces

12:10am Thursday, February 07, 2008
FLASH UPDATE: ROMNEY SUSPENDS CAMPAIGN - "If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror." ----- Author's note: Clearly the events of the day have rendered a few of the...

5:49am Wednesday, February 06, 2008
Last week our summary of the third hearing for Ohio's critical Castle Doctrine legislation included a note that "it is expected that the committee will resume hearing testimony on SB184 next week."

Gun grabbers' gun violence grade cards; Media ignores trend of higher grades for more violent states

12:10am Tuesday, February 05, 2008
By Chad D. Baus & Dean Rieck The Brady Campaign has released its annual "State Report Cards," scoring the states according to their gun control laws. What is most curious about this ranking is that, once again, there is an obsessive focus on guns rather than on crime. If anti-gun groups talk about crime at all, it's always focused specifically on "gun crime," as if getting killed by a gun is...

Free Chicago! (Has a massacre happened in YOUR gun free zone today?)

12:10am Monday, February 04, 2008
By Gerard Valentino Five more of my hometown brethren were killed this weekend, just outside Chicago at a Lane Bryant clothing store in Tinley Park. Unlike many cities, Chicago’s suburban population never admits they are from Cicero, or Naperville, or Westmont, they always say they are from Chicago. Many old northern cities have evolved to the point where the main city became irrelevant, like...

Op-Ed: In Election Season, Mum’s the Word about Gun Control

12:05am Monday, February 04, 2008
By Don B. Kates Jr. Are this year’s U.S. presidential candidates avoiding the gun issue? Last week, San Francisco’s First District Court of Appeal struck down that city’s two-year-old law that confiscated all handguns and rendered all other guns useless by banning ammunition sales. And on March 9 of last year, a federal court of appeals invalidated District of Columbia laws that banned handguns...
