Conceal carry reforms offer many benefits

There are many benefits to Ohio�s new concealed carry reform legislation. The Ohio State Senate voted 21-12 on Tuesday to override Gov. Bob Taft�s veto. The Ohio House voted last week 71-21 to override the veto. The override means that in about 90 days the legislature�s new law takes effect. The biggest bonus is that local governments can no longer adopt differing, sometimes contradictory, firearm ordinances. We empathize with inner-city communities that are struggling with violent crime and passed gun laws stricter than state law. But there is no statistical data to prove that these laws help reduce violent crime.

BIZY 6 � Ever mess up a chance at a big buck at 10 yards? I mean, have you ever linked together a series of indecisions that maybe cost you the deer of year?
Don't tell anyone, but I did it last Saturday afternoon, starting about five minutes before 4 p.m., perched high atop a cliff at Chix Coulee, a rugged and beautiful pasture on the eastern border of our deer lease.

And the distance of 10 yards � 30 feet � mostly is not a typing mistake.

Senate passes HB9, attempts to clean up media access loophole

Little noticed after the first veto-override in more than a quarter-century was Senate passage of House Bill 9, the public records bill, which contains an attempt by the legislature to clarify its intent for giving journalists access to records of concealed handgun license-holders.

On Wednesday, December 13, the Senate Judiciary Committee on Criminal Justice, chaired by Sen. David Goodman, voted HB9 out of committee. The bill cleared the full Senate later that day by a 31-1 vote.

Unfortunately, the fix is likely not going to be enough to prevent anti-gun newspapers from obtaining and publishing the names of license-holders.

All you need to do is work hard, and remain focused.�

Having picked up three gold medals for India, Rana is now going about placing himself in the league of gentlemen who refuse to buckle under pressure, and return from near oblivion to give glory yet another shot. �Look at Ganguly. He came back,� he says. �You just have to have the right attitude.�
