Technicians are continuing to work on the equipment in an effort to bring everything back to normal. There is a possibility that the website may be entirely unreachable (without any explanation) for short periods of time over the next few days. This is neccesary as we upgrade some of the components which run behind the scenes.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Ohioans For Concealed Carry has responded with a detailed press release (PDF required) outlining our position.

As many of you may know, President George Bush made a request that every American return to their regular lives, plans, and daily duties. We feel that it was both prudent and neccesary for session to be cancelled last week, but to suggest we should allow the terrorists to stop legislation aiming to restore individual liberties is absurd.

It is imperative that the sub-committee continue to give Ohioans the opportunity to be heard on this legislation, but it is also neccesary for the entire General Assembly to move swiftly and pass legislative reform.

Please be sure to take our press release, print it out, and share it with newspapers and television stations in your home towns. If you wish, you may send a copy to your elected officials as well. Your help in spreading the release is greatly appreciated.

Hart's proposal is based on an accident where an adult, who kept a loaded pistol ready at hand to defend his family against an estranged relative who had made threats of violence, was accidently shot and killed by a toddler.

We hope to see Ohioans for Conceal Carry, and their Canton membership, actively oppose this ordinance both in committee meetings and statutory hearings before the entire city council.
