Gannett News Service: Anti-gun group questions concealed carry research

12:07pm Thursday, March 27, 2003
COLUMBUS -- Gun control advocates on Wednesday criticized the credibility of a leading firearms researcher and said lawmakers have relied too much on his flawed work in their push for concealed weapons licenses in Ohio. But the expert, author John Lott, maintains his research is valid, and supporters insist the concealed weapons concept has more justification than just those figures. Jeff Garvas...

Taft: Ohio homeland security risk ''Elevated''; but you may not defend yourself

When Ohio's ban on CCW was ruled unconstitutional in a Hamilton County court last year, OFCC took note of a number of media outlets which were largely silent on the story.

11:51am Wednesday, February 05, 2003
by Chad D. Baus One would think someone in the position of being spokesman for thousands of law enforcement officers in this state would try, at least a tiny bit, get his facts straight.
