by Ed Monk

3:00pm Thursday, June 16, 2016

We now have a new high score. The mass murder inside a gay nightclub in Orlando has surpassed the Aurora, CO theater shooting as having the highest number of victims and highest number of murders among active shooter attacks in the US. Political gamesmanship will fill the media for the weeks to follow the massacre, but will government leaders, business owners or education administrators do...

7:00am Wednesday, June 15, 2016

Ohio has recently joined other states in having our Concealed Handgun License (CHL) certified as “NICS-compliant” by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (BATFE). While this is nothing new, it is new for Ohio. I would like to explain some of the many ways this can be good for everyone. The NICS system is often referred to as an “instant background check.” For many, it’s anything...

by Jim Shepherd

3:00pm Tuesday, June 14, 2016

With at least 50 people dead and at least that many more wounded after a well-executed Saturday night/Sunday morning assault on a dance club in Orlando, Florida, today's not the time for finger-pointing or Monday morning quarterbacking.
