"Lawmakers passed a bill Wednesday to allow Ohioans to carry hidden guns, and Gov. Bob Taft said he will sign it."
"The vote marked the first time the Legislature and the governor's office have agreed to a deal after a decade of debate on the highly contentious issue."
"Ohioans who apply for permits to carry concealed weapons would have to pay a fee, undergo background checks and be trained in the use of a weapon."
"The bill also makes the names of permit holders in each county available to reporters who ask a sheriff's department for the names. Taft's insistence on this provision derailed the bill late last year after House lawmakers balked."
-------
Now let's substitute the First Amendment, shall we?
"Ohioans who apply for permits to operate a website would have to pay a fee, undergo background checks and be trained in the use of a computer."
"The bill also makes the names of computer purchasers in each county available to reporters who ask a sheriff's department for the names."

"The public records request by the Governor began as a request for records to open to the public."
"The amendment is reported to be some kind of compromise to allow news reporters ONLY to ask for the information from the sheriff."

"CCRKBA today congratulated the Ohio Legislature for overcoming considerable obstacles in finally reaching accord, and passing, a bill that will allow Ohio citizens to carry concealed firearms for their personal protection."
" 'Gov. Taft campaigned with a promise to sign CCW legislation,' Gottlieb recalled. 'Then he reneged on that promise, making it conditional on law enforcement support. When that support finally came, he found another reason to hedge by demanding that newspapers have access to records that will identify permit holders. Lawmakers have hammered out an agreement on that issue, and now it's time for Taft to keep his word.' "
-------
Lawmakers caved in on that issue, allowing any reporter to get private information on law abiding CCW holders. |

"Ohioans who undergo background checks and training could carry concealed weapons under a bill that lawmakers were trying Tuesday to revive and send to Gov. Bob Taft." ...
"Many backers and opponents were disappointed." ...
"National Rifle Association lobbyist John Hohenwarter said the gun-rights advocacy group was pleased the 'fair' proposal was moving forward."
"But Jeff Garvas, president of Ohioans for Concealed Carry, said too many concessions were made. If the names of permit holders become public, he said, they could become exposed to identity theft or be denied jobs by anti-gun employers." |

"While the nation was distracted last month by images of Saddam Hussein's spider hole and dental exam, President George W. Bush quietly signed into law a new bill that gives the FBI increased surveillance powers and dramatically expands the reach of the USA Patriot Act."
"The Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004 grants the FBI unprecedented power to obtain records from financial institutions without requiring permission from a judge."
"Under the law, the FBI does not need to seek a court order to access such records, nor does it need to prove just cause."
-------
What a nice distraction Saddam turned out to be! The irony is that while the US was gloating about capturing a dictator, President Bush moved us just a step closer to a dictatorship.

"Every day many Americans commit crimes of which they are unaware. Many of the crimes with which Americans are charged are absurd."
"One recent case brought to light by Ellen Podgor and Paul Rosenzweig is that of three Americans sentenced in federal court to eight years in prison for importing lobster tails from Honduras in plastic bags instead of cardboard boxes." ...
"Federal prosecutors decided that Honduran law was violated by the shipment because a few tails (3% of the shipment) were less than 5.5 inches in length." ...
"The Honduran government objects to this interpretation of its law and filed a brief in behalf of the defendants, but federal judges nevertheless convicted their fellow citizens for violating the Lacey Act by importing "fish or wildlife taken, possessed, transported, or sold in violation of any foreign law." ...
"The upshot is that three Americans have had their lives ruined by federal prosecutors and judges for violating a Honduran law that the Honduran president, attorney general and embassy say is not on their country�s statute books." ...
"Na�ve Americans tend to regard miscarriages of justice, such as the lobster import case, as rare examples of legal idiocy that somehow will be corrected by the legal system. However, such cases are routine and are seldom if ever corrected." ...
"Married men who happen to own guns are being turned into felons by wives who ask for restraining orders when they file for divorce. Prosecutors interpret restraining orders as criminalizing prior gun ownership. A restraining order turns a law-abiding gun owner into a criminal. It is an example of unconstitutional ex post facto law at its worst."

"There are 1,200 police agencies in Illinois, and what one community knows about a criminal might not be available to police in the very next community. That's about to change."

"Most of the weapons recovered in American Canyon have been airsoft guns, a new type of pellet gun that only shoots plastic ammunition. Although they are legal for children under 18 to purchase because they don't shoot metallic pellets, police officers are saying some models are too realistic to be sold as toys."
"Some of the guns look so real that it's challenging for police officers to tell the difference, especially from a distance, Rochester said. In an October scuffle with two carloads of teenagers, police drew their guns, handcuffed teens and placed them in police vehicles while determining if a gun found under the driver's seat of one car was real. It was an airsoft gun. No arrests were made." ...
"The teen who pointed a gun at classmates after school had painted over the orange barrel tip. The teenager was arrested on suspicion of having an imitation gun within 1,000 feet of school property, a felony, and of brandishing a weapon, a misdemeanor."

"Shortly after 9 a.m. the call came in to the Fort Myers police."
"Officer John Harrington radioed dispatchers about shots fired in the Fort Myers High cafeteria." ...
"Six officers working their normal patrols responded along with their supervisor.

At 9:45 a.m., they checked their weapons one more time before Sgt. Curt Roberts led them into the school."

FULL TEXT BELOW:
Some tense moments at a local high school Wednesday morning after officials say they discovered a student had brought a loaded gun to school.
The incident happened shortly before noon at Brookville High School.
The superintendent says the 16-year-old student may have been involved in an ongoing dispute with another student.
They say faculty members were able to step in and contain the situation before anyone was injured.
Officials say the school resource officer at the high school was able to arrest the student just moments after the incident.
The teen is currently in custody and expected to be in court Thursday.
School officials say he is suspended pending a school disciplinary hearing.
They say there will be counselors on hand for students and staff Thursday to help them cope with the incident.
-------
School staff and the police handled the situation. What exactly is there to "cope" with, other than the knowledge that you are disarmed sheep who are unable to protect yourselves during incidents such as these. |

"George McCrackin made the right decision in stepping aside from his job as principal at Berkeley's Stratford High School. It could not have been an easy decision, given his 20 years of service at the school, and the support he had been given by the staff there. But the continuing controversy over a Nov. 5 drug raid at the school has overshadowed his administrative work."
"As part of his new duties in the district's administrative offices, Mr. McCrackin will help school officials prepare a defense for two lawsuits arising from the raid."
-------
So he was right to accept a lateral transfer because of the "controversy". Not He trampled students' rights and endangered their lives and so he should be blackballed from education forever. |

"A state judge's decision to uphold the University of Utah's 27-year-old policy not allowing firearms on campus has sparked a human rights debate among gun control critics and supporters."
"The Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff filed an appeal to Third District Judge Robert Hilder's Aug. 29 ruling. Hilder's decision directly opposed a state law enacted by the 2003 Legislature, which allows authorized individuals to have concealed firearms on school property for the right of self-defense."
"In light of the University of Utah's battle to keep firearms off campus, other Utah universities are putting a hold on any additional policy until the issue comes to a resolve in courts." ...
"The U of U claimed that because the school policy only restricts the faculty and student possession of weapons, no state laws or rights are trodden upon." |

"The postmaster was hit six times on the head with a gun during the latest terrifying raid."

But instead of demanding the right to defend himself with a firearm, he's demanding that society/government/anyone do SOMETHING to make him safer. The Brits have long forgotten what it means to be self-reliant and courageous. They only know how to be compliant, meek and dependent on the state.
This postmaster claims he won't be pushed around, but he's not calling for an end to victim disarmament. |

"Sky marshals are most likely to use compact self-loading pistols with special 'soft' bullets in order to minimize the risk that a stray shot could puncture an aircraft's pressurized cabin."

"The Greens are asking Air New Zealand to drop the lid on the latest US demand that air passengers be prevented from queuing to go to the toilet."
" 'The Bush administration has gone potty if it thinks New Zealanders will sit down in the face of such silly directives from the US authorities,' said Mr Locke, the Green Foreign Affairs spokesperson."
"This latest silliness comes on top of US demands for Air New Zealand to put sky marshals on its planes. Will they be used to break up dangerous toilet queues? The image of sky marshals waving their pistols at incontinent passengers to force them back to their seats is too terrible to contemplate."
-------
While the ban on toilet congregations is truly absurd, the idea of armed marshals on airplanes is a viable and necessary security measure. Any attempt to compare the two directives is disingenuous. |

"Ms Huynh was in the back room of Billiards 2000 in Cabramatta Rd, by the suburb's new $13 million police station, when four Asian men casually walked past surveillance cameras and into the pool hall, one holding a Samurai sword."
"Walking past more than 20 patrons in the hall, they entered a back room where the 18-year-old teenager from Punchbowl was celebrating a friend's birthday with her boyfriend, 19."
"A pistol was drawn and Ms Huynh was hit in the chest by a bullet. Her boyfriend was shot in the right elbow and nose."

Meanwhile, the Australian government tightens gun control laws to the point where the citizens will soon be completely disarmed and forced to rely on police to save their lives - a high expectation police just can't live up to. |

"As gun crime leaps by 35% in a year, plans are afoot for a further crack down on firearms. Yet what we need is more guns, not fewer, says a US academic." ...
"The failure of this general disarmament to stem, or even slow, armed and violent crime could not be more blatant. According to a recent UN study, England and Wales have the highest crime rate and worst record for 'very serious' offences of the 18 industrial countries surveyed."

"Well, it's true I subscribe to a gung-ho mentality, but I don't live in a culture of fear. In fact, British friends visiting me in this corner of northern New England from their crime-ridden leafy shires always remark on my blithe unconcern about "home security". I don't have laser alarms, or window locks, or, indeed, a front-door key. Like most of my neighbours, I leave my home unlocked and, when I park the car, I leave the key in the ignition because then you always know where to find it."
"I'm able to do this because - and this is where the gung-ho bit comes in - I live in a state with very high rates of gun ownership. In other words, if you're some teen punk and you want to steal my $70 television set, they're likely to be picking bits of your skull out of my wainscoting. But the beauty of this system is that I'm highly unlikely ever to have to blow your head off. The fact that most homeowners are believed to be armed reduces crime, in my neighbourhood, to statistically insignificant levels. Hence, my laconic approach to home security." |

FULL TEXT BELOW:
Legislators planning to give Virginia more gun laws should consider these facts. In numbers of federal firearm prosecutions in the fiscal years 2000 through 2002, Virginia stood: second highest among the states in prosecutions of felons and fugitives possessing, using, or carrying a gun during a federal crime, second in prosecution of stolen firearms, second in prosecution of possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number, third in prosecution of possession of a firearm in a school zone, 10th in prosecution of lying on a background check form, and 12th in prosecution of illegal gun trafficking.

"In less than two weeks, hijacking fears cancelled six Air France flights, four British Airways flights and two Aero Mexico flights, with some flights shadowed by F-16s with orders to shoot them down if they strayed off course."
"It is insanity to say an F-16 can shoot down a passenger jet, but we can�t allow armed pilots because it is too dangerous. As commander of a 400-ton missile loaded with explosive fuel, a commercial pilot is already in charge of a significant lethal weapon. And we're worried about a gun in the cockpit?"
"The Transportation Security Administration is continuing to drag its feet on the program for training pilots to be armed. The program authorized by Congress last fall and signed into law to train pilots to carry a firearm during flight has only one training facility with only 100 pilots trained under federal standards to carry firearms over two years after the original September 11 hijackings."
"The arguments against letting pilots carry guns in the cockpit fall flat when one considers that prior to 1987 pilots were in fact allowed to carry guns in the cockpit, since planes transported the U.S. mail along with civilians. Bullets are available that can penetrate flesh but pulverize when striking a hard surface such as a fuselage." |

"The fact is the most effective means to combat "true" crime is to arm every man, woman, and child that can carry and learn to use a firearms safely and effectively. This has been proved not only here in this union of states but around the world (read about Kennesaw, Georgia and Vermont), or the huge increases in crime in England and Australia following increased firearm limitations. Compare the crime facts of Washington, DC, with the most stringent gun controls to Vermont, which is close to the 2nd Amendment. Anyway, the rules are:
"1. Increased gun control ALWAYS increases crime."
"2. Free expression of the 2nd Amendment ALWAYS decreases crime; i.e. decreased gun control ALWAYS decreases crime." |

"Despite opposition from state environmental regulators and environmental groups, a measure that would shield more than 400 gun ranges across Florida from pollution laws keeps speeding closer to law." ...
"The legislation is being pushed by the National Rifle Association, which continues to accuse the Department of Environmental Protection of 'back door gun control' for its recent efforts to get some gun range owners to clean up lead-based ammunition left from years of shooting activity. The bill was sparked by a court case involving a Pinellas County gun range." |
