Although this isn't the newest or most colorful sort of attack from the dark side, it has hit the press once again. Quite creatively worded, with incorrect information, and with all the rest of the trite we are getting so used to hearing.
Allow me to humor you with the opening line of the Plain Dealer article penned by Mr. John Caniglia. Are you ready ?
"It's easy to build an illegal machine gun. Or to get the recipe for exploding gelatin. Everything you need is available at hundreds of guns shows held across the country this time of year." Let me begin by saying that the sale of guns, knives, ammunition, parts for guns, parts for ammunition is legal. Be it a one on one, or face to face sale or be it many people congregating in a single area to buy and sell the likes. Yes, dealers have to be federally licensed; but I do not if I wish to sell a gun that I own, to anyone I wish to sell it to, which makes the sale my personal responsibility. |

Over the weekend, I attended my first Cowboy Action Shoot at the Rochester Rod & Hunt club. What a great time! I was invited by OFCC member Ken Wilson, who was coordinating the event for the Firelands Peacemakers (a local chapter of the Single Action Shooting Society ). Ken (who goes by the cowboy alias "Johnny Shiloh" and my buddy "Angry Angus" took the time to explain the rules of the event and point out what to watch for. For those that don't know, Cowboy Action Shooting is growing in popularity around the country as shooters get caught up in the fun of the sport. Dedicated to preserving the history of the old West, cowboy action shooters combine historical re-enactment with all the excitement of a shooting competition. |

Just after midnight on Thursday morning, Michael Allen Smith was shot and mortally wounded outside of his Central Lorain home.
"He had just returned home and was in the process of moving a family member's car from the street to into the driveway", Lt. Jim Rohner said. "Our preliminary investigation indicates robbery as a possible motive".
Not only did the alleged robber gun Mr. Smith down with a shot to the abdomen, the victim was then put in the trunk of his wife's car and left for dead. The police indicated that he was, in fact, still alive upon their arrival at 12:30 a.m.
Apparently no one actually saw the shooting, but a neighbor who heard the shots looked out and saw the victim .
"To see that, it's scary. It was right outside my window." the witness stated. "It gives me goose bumps. That guy came into the store every day."

One of the big stories in the news recently was the bear attack on the Ohio family vacationing in the Cherokee National Forest Chilhowee Recreation Area in Tennessee. The Clyde, Ohio family's 6-year-old girl was killed, their 2-year-old son was injured, and the mother remains in critical condition. During the attack, the mother attempted to drive off the bear with rocks and sticks before she was mauled. The little girl fled during the initial attack, but was found 100 yards from the trail by a rescuer. The rescuer was then attacked by the bear, but he was armed and shot at the bruin twice before it fled. In a strange twist of fate, this family was attacked in a park in Tennessee which allowed firearms to be carried for personal protection; yet their hometown is currently involved in a lawsuit with Ohioans For Concealed Carry due to their efforts to illegally ban firearms from their own parks. |

OFCC was in attendance at the Lorain Area Friends of NRA Banquet last night, April 7, 2006. Friends of NRA is a grassroots fundraising program that fosters community involvement, raises money and gives 100 percent of the net proceeds to qualified local, state and national programs. One of the many ways in which money is raised for these programs is through these banquets, which incude dinner and various auctions. Proceeds raised go to The NRA Foundation for distribution. All of the proceeds raised at last night's event are earmarked to stay in Ohio and benefit Ohio citizens. |
