By Chris Chumita
There are more stories pertaining to our gun rights in Ohio then we can possibly draw attention to with individual daily commentary. But they are all worthy of mention.
What follows is our review of headlines from around the state though a pro-gun rights lens.
From a violent robbery in a gun free zone to a woman attacked while leaving work, these articles should be a part of your required reading!
What follows is several days of headlines accompanied by short, concise pro-gun analysis.
6/29/08: Columbus, Ohio: Police: 2 Masked Men Rob Max & Erma's
From the article:
Police said that they were searching for two men who robbed a Max & Erma's restaurant on the city's northwest side early Sunday.
Also from the article:
According to detectives, a worker was taking out trash when two armed men approached and forced the employee back into the restaurant and demanded money.
The pair then confronted the manager at gunpoint and demanded money from the safe.
Police said one of the robbers struck the manager in the back of the head with a gun. Then they took money from the restaurant and fled.
Ohio law requires restaurants like Max & Erma's to be a gun free zone, because they serve alcohol. As you can see, all the law did was disarm the employees. It did not prevent the thugs from committing armed robbery.

Don't worry, the police will protect you! The gun-grabbers want you to believe that the police will protect you, but they won't tell you about stories like this one. They don't want you to know that a man can be murdered just down the street from a police station that is manned 24 hours a day.
