The Cleveland Plain Dealer has this letter to the editors from a Twinsburg resident who has seen the light. Then there is another letter in the Beacon Journal dealing with safe storage as a personal responsibility, not a mandated law. Have you written a letter to your local newspapers in favor of concealed carry? You should!

The Dayton Daily News has a story about yet another home invasion!. The homeowner just happened to shoot back with a shotgun and hit his target! Robber, resident wounded during home invasion. The most ironic part of this story? The silly concern over if the shotgun was licensed or not. Sure, you lived, but is your shotgun licensed?

From news reports: Rep. John Willamowski of Lima on Wednesday introduced a bill that would increase the penalty for the theft of a firearm. The bill would increase the maximum possible sentence to five years in prison from the current 18 months. It also would require a judge to sentence offenders to prison time, unless the judge found extraordinary circumstances in the offender's favor, Willamowski said. Note: Will gun control organizations and anti-gun lawmakers support this legislation?

Capitol Gate has a rather in-depth analysis of HB274 legislation. The FOP has finally made it clear (as we always expected) that they probably won't accept HB274 even if the sub-committee guts the bill. We've seen a list of requirements that the FOP supposedly wants inserted into the legislation which included mandatory safe storage, discretionary permit issuance, and many other unrelated or unacceptable provisions they know they'll never see. Police barricade: The Ohio FOP remains opposed to the House's concealed weapons bill Follow this link to see the FOP's "official" position on Conceal and Carry.
