The Canton Repository today reported that Canton police patrolman Daniel Harless has been fired.
During a traffic stop last summer, Harless had threatened to gun down disarmed CHL licensee William Bartlett. OFCC obtained a dashcam video of the incident and posted it on the Internet.
The video ultimately became evidence in court. A judge recently ruled that the charges filed against Bartlett by Harless were not worthy of being heard by a jury, and the charges were dismissed. Disciplinary proceedings for Harless were already underway; today that process ended in Harless' termination.
A spokesman for the Canton Police Patrolmen’s Association told the Repository that Harless is planning to appeal the decision.

Wisconsin state representative Josh Zepnick wants to ban guns from all Wisconsin gas stations.
Yes, that's right -- gas stations. It reminds me of a friend's favorite expression: "Don't be surprised! Half of all people are below the 50th percentile in intelligence!"
Last week, Zepnick told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that gas stations have become high-crime areas and therefore guns should be banned from their premises.
Josh, you're an idiot. Gas-station-robbing thugs aren't going to stop to worry about your law. They're going to rob gas stations anyway. In fact, they're going to rob more gas stations more often, because your law will succeed in disarming law abiding citizens, and the thugs will no longer have to take them into account.
Your law will create a protection zone for the very criminals you claim to disapprove of. It's coming up to December 31, and right now, Josh, you're in serious contention for our Idiot of Year.
Zepnick's bill was co-sponsored Rep. Christine Sinicki, but Sinicki told the Journal Sentinel that her name got on it by mistake. |

(COLUMBUS/SANTA FE)—Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and New Mexico Department of Public Safety Cabinet Secretary Gorden E. Eden, Jr. have signed an agreement that permits reciprocity between their states for citizens who have valid concealed carry permits.
"I am pleased that this agreement between Ohio and New Mexico will allow Ohioans who have concealed carry permits the same rights to carry a concealed handgun in the State of New Mexico, as well as New Mexicans who have concealed carry permits to do the same in Ohio," said Attorney General DeWine.
Secretary Eden reiterated those remarks. "As proponents of the Second Amendment, the New Mexico Department of Public Safety is happy to extend concealed carry rights to licensed Ohioans, as those same rights are extended to licensed New Mexicans who visit Ohio."

For the past few years Ohioans For Concealed Carry has made an effort to encourage our supporters to get together at a number of events - open carry walks, our annual picnic, criminal trials like that against WIlliam Bartlett - or any number of causes related to the reason OFCC exists.
Now it's time to socialize for no other reason than to socialize. If you'd like to meet some like minded folks this is your opportunity to do so. If you're a regular reader or contributor to the OhioCCWForums.org website you can puts some names to local faces. There is no cost to attend but please consider patronizing the establishment welcoming us.
At the moment, there are three OFCC Meet & Greets scheduled for the evening of December 17th in Cleveland, Youngstown, and Toledo.
We know other parts of the state may want to join in. Interested in helping us holding one in Columbus, Dayton, or Cincy? All you need to do is identify a public restaurant and be the guy or gal to warn them a bunch of folks are going to show up. To volunteer click on the "Contact Us" menu above and find my name (Jeff Garvas) in the pull down and tell me you're interested. It helps if you can coordinate your event on the above mentioned forums website.
