President Barack Obama - A Gun Owner's Worst Nightmare

12:05am Thursday, June 19, 2008

By Dean Rieck If you're not thrilled with the idea of having John McCain as the next President of the United States, you're not alone. He's angered gun owners with anti-gun statements and support for so-called "campaign finance reform," which has done little except limit free speech and curtail grassroots political activism. But would you prefer President Barack Obama? Obama is without doubt the...

12:10am Wednesday, June 18, 2008

By Gerard Valentino Senate Bill 348, designed to add an additional 10 years to a prison sentence if a gun is used to cause injury to or death of a child, was introduced recently by Senator Eric Kearney (D-9).

Progress: We can only move forward together

12:05am Wednesday, June 18, 2008

By Tim Inwood In the past four years, gun owners in Ohio have made amazing strides forward. After years of battling for concealed carry, we finally won in 2004. In 2006, we won major reforms with HB347. This year, we not only won the uphill battle for Castle Doctrine but many other important amendments were added that improved what was already a pretty good piece of legislation. We even saw...

Of Mice and Men

12:05am Tuesday, June 17, 2008

By Breda of The Breda Fallacy One day last winter, I pulled on my boots, buttoned up my coat and went out into the snow to fill the birdfeeder. We kept the seed in a large bucket in the garage and when I went to scoop some out to carry to the feeder, I noticed that the supply was running low. It was dark in the garage and even darker in the bottom of the bucket. I tipped the bucket a little and...

Women Are Filling Handgun Classes; Surveys Show Personal Protection A Big Motivator

12:05am Friday, June 13, 2008

One of the main reasons for attending these classes, they say, is to learn more about how to take charge of their own safety. Carol, a thirty-something mother from Connecticut, explained her...

Haunted

12:10am Thursday, June 12, 2008

By Breda of The Breda Fallacy They've found a body in the woods. Again. Another missing girl, woman, sister, mother, friend strangled, stabbed, shot, raped, mutilated, dismembered and tossed in the brush, in a ditch, beside railroad tracks, in a dumpster, in the ocean like so much garbage. The details don't really matter. They were all guilty of nothing more than perhaps smiling at the wrong man...

Gov. Lee Fisher in particular. This week, it...
