Ohioans for Concealed Carry was pleased to accept an invitation from Dick Stobbs for Congress, a candidate endorsed by OFCC, to attend the 2008 Sportsmen's Alliance Annual Ohio Rally this past Saturday. The event, held at the Alladin Shrine Temple in Columbus, drew more then 1,200 second amendment supporters. The rally featured a keynote address by United States Senator and Presidential Candidate John McCain. Though Senator McCain chose to stay in Washington to deal with the proposed economic bailout of failing mortgage institutions, he appeared at the rally via live satellite feed. "Let there be no misunderstanding," he said. "If Senator Obama is elected president, the rights of law-abiding gun owners will be at risk." Many items were auctioned off or raffled away in support of the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance Foundation, including dozens of firearms and the grand prize - 20 acres of prime hunting land in Southern Ohio. Dick Stobbs is a fellow concealed carry licensee and is very pleased to have OFCC's endorsement in the upcoming election. Joining Stobbs and OFCC Coordinator Sean Culley at the table, was Col. Tom Moe (USAF Ret.), who, like Senator McCain, was a POW in the Vietnam War and refused early release from the "Hanoi Hilton." Moe is also the Chair of Ohio Veterans for McCain. |
