Another tired anti-gun editorial

12:05am Thursday, August 17, 2006

By Jim Irvine Many papers have recently done stories noting the success of the concealed carry licensing system. The Lorain Morning Journal, on the other hand, has published another editorial crying about their limited access to license holder’s personal information. Well over 99% of license holders licenses have flawless records carrying their guns. Contrary to what the Journal editorialized for...

Miami Twp. trustees vote to lift gun ban in parks

10:10am Wednesday, August 16, 2006

The Cincinnati Enquirer is reporting that trustees in Hamilton County's Miami Twp. voted Tuesday to remove a "no-guns" sign. Such signs at each of the five developed parks in this Clermont County township will be replaced. And anybody who wants to carry a gun openly in a park - or has a permit to carry a concealed weapon - will no longer have to worry about facing a fine of up to $100 for a first...

Those who oppose self defense at it again, at home and abroad

12:10am Wednesday, August 16, 2006

By Tim Inwood There are days after reading or watching news stories, that I am convinced a good chunk of the world has taken leave of their senses. In recent days I read an editorial in the Cincinnati Enquirer advocating the banning of handguns. The author of this tripe was a Cincinnati Lawyer named Robert B. Newman. Somehow he has gotten the notion that the solution to the crime problem in...

On August 10, a columnist in the Minneapolis Star Tribune presented information which affirmed one of the central points made in Ken Hanson's rebuttal to Associated Press reporter Julie Carr-Smyth's recent complaints that Ohio gubernatorial candidates are battling for gun votes while “only” 400,000 out of 11 million Ohioans have a hunting license or a concealed handgun license. In his rebuttal to...

Clarett arrest shows Columbus is still Mentelly challenged

12:10am Friday, August 11, 2006

By Ken Hanson We here in the Mentel Ward are shocked to report that there has been another assault rifle sighting in safe, secure Columbus. In case you missed it, Columbus City Council member Mike Mentel sponsored a worthless Assault Weapon (or Mentel) Ban a little over a year ago in the interests of public safety. According to Mr. Mentel, it certainly WAS NOT passed to harass law-abiding gun...
