The letter contains many of the same false statements Hoover made in Senate testimony last month. Commentary by Chad D. Baus inserted in blue . 6.12.03 ‘Right choice for Ohio’ Gov.

Last week, we reported about Trooper DeLong, a woman who has failed to qualify with her firearm on two separate occasions , has been suspended for abusing the law enforcement database for personal use, and has been fired (then reinstated) from a post at the Statehouse for sleeping while on duty. We also told you about Trooper Burd, a three-time "trooper of the year" who has been fired from his...

Letter to the Editor: Statistics show concealed carry won’t reduce crime

7:42am Sunday, June 08, 2003
In the final days before anticipated Senate votes on HB12, the Columbus Dispatch has printed a response to Dr. John Lott's April 24 op-ed, and in doing so, Dispatch editors signaled they're ready to do their best to aid anti-self-defense extremists in a last ditch effort to defeat HB12. UPDATE! In the hours following the publishing of the letter, it has been confirmed by Ohioans For Concealed...

Ohio FOP Funds Solicitation & My Reply

11:13am Wednesday, May 28, 2003
I recently got the Ohio FOP's annual request for money. Here is my reply: Ohio State Lodge Fraternal Order of Police 222 E. Town Street Columbus OH 43215-4611 Gentlemen: I have received your annual solicitation of financial support. I am no longer a supporter of the FOP. I was once a "V. I. P. Booster."

Health bureaucrats: Guns are a ''health issue''

11:42am Tuesday, May 27, 2003
Although not directly related to our battle to restore Ohioan's right to self-defense with a firearm, we believe the fight against "assault"-weapons bans is an important one. The erosion of our rights, with bans that do not work, is a serious matter. Youngstown citizens have been fighting proposals to ban certain types of firearms in that city for some time now. Their list of adversaries has...

3:45pm Thursday, May 22, 2003
The Million Mom March's Lori O'Neill has been working to scare businesses into opposing HB12 for months now. Apparently she has found very few willing ears. In Senate testimony Wednesday , O'Neill provided just five form letters, identical in content, on letterhead from five Ohio businesses (well, four and a half - one is owned by the Communist Chinese). Click on the "Read More..." link below for...

These extremists & businesses want you to remain defenseless

1:12pm Thursday, May 22, 2003
Pro-self-defense law enforcement officers and women, as well as the other "good guys", seemed to steal the show this week’s Senate hearings , even in the media.

This week, it was more of the same from a troop of "Chicken Little’s", who...
