by W.H. "Chip" Gross

This spring I got them out for a closer look. I found fascinating information about the history of ODNR, the conservationists, writers and issues from sixty-years ago.

Senators Cecil Thomas (D) and Hercial Craig (D) have introduced Senate Bill 202, titled “Local Authority – To restore local authority to generally regulate firearms related conduct.” It's a nice-sounding name, but it should scare the heck out of every gun owner.
