The following guest op-ed appeared in The Chillicothe Gazette on April 22, 2010. By Mike McCoy When Ohio's original legislation allowing law-abiding citizens to carry a concealed handgun passed in 2004, there were dire predictions by the anti-gun crowd that there would be shootouts in the streets or worse. Fast forward six years, and guess what? None of it happened. How could the anti-gun crowd...

Gun control laws fail to keep Time Square terror-bomber from purchasing a gun, yet oblivious Bloomberg demands more

7:00am Friday, May 07, 2010
By Chad D. Baus Judging by the events of the past week, it's a good thing for billionaire New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg that he uses taxpayer funds to hire others to carry guns for his protection ( even when he's visiting his mansion in the "no guns" country of Bermuda). If he carried a gun himself, he'd constantly be shooting himself in the foot. Take for example Bloomberg's reaction...

Civil rights and double standards: Gun owners are forced to "show papers," but media say illegal aliens shouldn't have to

7:00am Thursday, May 06, 2010
By Tim Inwood I've been watching with some interest the fallout over the new Arizona law dealing with illegal aliens. I hear the news media moaning that the new law "makes it a crime to be an illegal alien." I'm not joking, that is exactly how they phrased it on several networks and cable news shows. Wow, that is what I always thought illegal meant. I really wish the media would think about what...

Judge Eugene Lucci for 11th District Court of Appeal

7:00am Monday, May 03, 2010
By Jim Irvine Few offices are as important as judicial offices, and few candidates are as hard to cast informed votes about as the judicial candidates. The appeals courts are particularly important. They can overrule a lower court, but more importantly they set a precedent the lower court must follow. They can only be overruled by the Ohio Supreme Court, and most cases never reach that court...
