The following article from the U.S. Concealed Carry Association is reprinted with permission.
I want to start by saying something very simple. I LOVE America... I really love my country. I love the history of America during the days of "The Revolution".
On a quick side note, my wife bought me a framed reproduction of the Declaration of Independence for Christmas recently. We just hung it up on the wall in a very prominent position near our front door. It makes me proud to read that document!
Okay, where was I? Ah yes... Tim loves America. I believe that the Godly principles that this country was founded upon are the sole reason for the success of this country. These principles are SO powerful that they've been able to carry a country that really no longer deserves the freedom it enjoys. (This is just my humble opinion!)
I truly believe that a country gets the government that it deserves. If the citizens of a country are unwilling to elect honest & morally sound people to lead them, then they deserve what they get. If the citizens of a country are unwilling to fight to preserve the inalienable rights they were born with, then they will lose those rights.
Over the past few years, I've gotten into the habit of reading the articles that "M-14 Fred" writes in every issue of ShotGun News. Fred talks a lot about the importance of fighting the "Soft War" now so we don't have to fight the "Hard War" later on.

In an earlier story (National Parks Service Rejects Petition), we reported that the National Parks Service rejected a petition brought by the Virginia Citizen's Defense League (and signed by Ohioans For Concealed Carry) to encourage the Department of the Interior (DOI) to allow local jurisdictions to adopt local laws with respect to carrying a firearm in National Parks.
In a surprising twist, it seems the National Parks Service may not have been authorized to send that rejection!
The following story has been released by the VCDL, and includes a call for action:
VCDL has just learned from our sources on Capitol Hill that the Department of the Interior (DOI) is **livid** over the National Park Service's (NPS) asinine rejection letter sent to VCDL concerning VCDL's Petition for Rule Making!
(http://www.vcdl.org/pdf/NPS_Denial_of_VCDL_PRM.pdf)
That petition would allow a law-abiding citizen to carry a handgun for self-defense in a National Park if the state in which the park is located allows such carry.
Apparently the National Park Service DID NOT CLEAR that rejection letter with their parent - the Department of the Interior!

...to our counterparts at Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence, Brady Campaign, Violence Policy Center, Freedom States Alliance, et al.
What then? Let's suppose, for the sake of argument, you manage to get every one of your pieces of dream legislation passed. Will you then fold up your tents and move on? Or will you, like most organizations that "work themselves out of job," expand your original mission statements to embrace heretofore unrecognized threats to our safety?
My money's on the latter. Of course, I sincerely hope it never comes to that. I'm not naïve enough to think you'll ever be convinced of the fallacy of your positions, but I do have faith in the common sense of the average citizen when presented with actual facts rather than the emotional rhetoric supplied both directly by you, and through the (generally) sympathetic-to-your-cause media. |

SOLD OUT!!!
Ohioans For Concealed Carry has teamed up with the College Republicans student organization at Bowling Green State University to bring guitar legend and NRA Board of Directors member Ted Nugent to BGSU's Lenhart Grand Ballroom to speak on Tuesday March 27th, 2007 from 8pm to 10pm.
"The Nuge", author of such books as "God, Guns & Rock and Roll" and the "Kill It and Grill It" cookbooks, is well known for his unabashed opinions on many subjects, including hunting and gun rights. Speaking at the 2005 NRA Annual Meeting he said "Remember the Alamo! Shoot 'em! To show you how radical I am, I want carjackers dead. I want rapists dead. I want burglars dead. I want child molesters dead. I want the bad guys dead. No court case. No parole. No early release. I want 'em dead. Get a gun and when they attack you, shoot 'em!"

Ohioans For Concealed Carry is being praised in the current issue of one of the most widely circulated magazines in the shooting sports, Guns & Ammo. The article cites the success our members' grassroots efforts have provided in educating businesses throughout the state that posting "No Guns" signs in an attempt to make their building safer is not only ineffective, it is counter-productive. Displaying such a sign only disarms the law-abiding and emboldens the criminal already intent on breaking laws against robbery and murder. That criminal is now guaranteed that he will have the only gun and no one inside will be able to defend themselves!
As the article notes, OFCC provides a complimentary service in the "Do Not Patronize While Armed" Database. This directory of businesses that choose to discriminate against Concealed Handgun License holders is a mechanism that allows Second Amendment supporters to be aware of these Criminal Protection Zones so that a licensed individual won't accidentally carry their otherwise legal handgun there and break the law.
