Book Review: The Ohio Guide to Firearms Laws

By Jim Irvine Attorney and Buckeye Firearms Association Legislative Chair Ken Hanson has done a magnificent job with the second edition of “The Ohio Guide to Firearms Laws.” This is the definitive book on Ohio’s firearms laws, including concealed carry. It is updated to reflect the changes HB347 made to Ohio’s laws, as well as some real “Gotcha’s” that have come to light because of poor drafting...

Owning the Power to Control My Destiny

By Linda Walker I have great respect and adoration for financial guru, Suze Orman. She is an intelligent, financially brilliant and witty lady (If she's anti gun, please don't tell me!) Recently I watched The Suze Orman show on the local PBS channel. The show was entitled "Women & Money". Now you ask, what does that have to do with gun rights? Certainly Buckeye Firearms Association hasn't...

Tax time – don’t forget your donation credit

By Jim Irvine It’s tax time, and while few of us “like” doing taxes, there is a nice repayment coming to many of us. It’s time to get our money back! For all those who made a campaign donation last year to any candidate for Ohio Representative, Ohio Senator, Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, Treasurer, Auditor or Supreme Court Justice there is a little something extra in your refund...

By Jim Irvine With the passage of HB347 last year, the Governor’s threat of a veto coming to fruition, and the culmination of a veto override, we all learned some lessons about how the political process works, and how we worked within that system. Judging by the results, we won. So we were good enough, but there is always room for improvement. In this article I will discuss some things we did...

Concealed Carry Of Weapons Superior To Taking Weapons, Part II: S. 388 is Huge

By John Longenecker Huge for all Americans. Let me say something to you right now: as a solution to social crisis, liberty is always better than takings. Always better than nearly any social program out there. The formula for bureaucrats is interference. The measure of success on their personal score card is substituting constituent dependency on their agencies for the joy and happiness of...

Petition Congress to create a John Moses Browning holiday

A fitting tribute to a great American gun designer and patriot By Tim Inwood The other day while perusing the pages of The High Road I learned that a petition is being circulated to create a national holiday and postage stamp to celebrate the life of John Moses Browning. Interesting idea - an uphill battle will lie ahead of that , I thought to myself. I can see the anti-gunners fighting this idea...
