The Last Lesson

12:10am Wednesday, July 12, 2006
By Chad D. Baus As many are aware, my history as a shooter and grassroots firearms activist begins not in Ohio, but in Tennessee. I lived in Nashville from 1994 - 2000, met my wife and married there. It was her father who introduced me to the shooting sports. Many have also heard about my father-in-law's experience with an attempted carjacking, an incident which convinced me that it would be...

July 03, 2006 By Howard Nemerov Excerpt from Fear or Fact by Howard Nemerov (Author’s note: The United Nations is currently meeting to discuss ways of implementing “adequate controls” over the international arms trade.

12:10am Friday, July 07, 2006
By Larry Moore: Trapshooters once again flocked to the Ohio State Trapshoot but their trek this year was not to the fabled home grounds of the ATA in Vandalia. Those grounds are history.

Who Pays for the Fiddler?

12:05am Thursday, July 06, 2006

Children playing with things that go bang

1:00am Monday, July 03, 2006
I love a good fireworks show. The bigger the better. I’ve been known to set off a few firecrackers in my day too. But I was never allowed to “play” with fireworks as a child. As I grew up, Dad supervised and taught safety in all things that go bang, including both fireworks and firearms. Fireworks can be dangerous. Consider this statement from Stop Fireworks.org

Moore (This commentary has also been published at Ohio Outdoor News ) HB 347, which is stalled in the Ohio Senate, would have corrected two key problems with Ohio’s concealed carry law.

Ted Strickland goes on offense; highlights gun bill stalled in Senate

12:15pm Monday, June 19, 2006
