Op-Ed: City of Chicago misfires on gun violence

12:05am Wednesday, April 30, 2008

Baus Gun ban extremists and others who oppose the right of self defense are fond of saying that when a person is in danger, the best thing to do is to call 911 and let the police take care of it.

12:10am Friday, April 25, 2008

By Mark Noble A few days ago, the Dayton Daily News ran a piece proclaiming that "Students for Concealed Carry on Campus is fighting for the right to be armed at school."
