Columbus - ...

The bill, sponsored by Cincinnati Republican Rep. Tom Brinkman, would allow carrying with no permit, lift carefully negotiated restrictions on hidden guns in public places, and cut off public access to permit-holder information...

Both bills would repeal a provision that allows journalists access to the names of permit-holders by county. The records are otherwise off limits to the public...

His bill would also reverse restrictions against carrying concealed guns on college campuses, in day-care centers, and in cars traveling the highway. The State Highway Patrol lobbied successfully in 2004 for requiring permit-holders to either carry their weapons on their person or in a locked box while on the road...

"The National Rifle Association's intent was always to continue to chip away at reasonable precautions that were negotiated into the bill that they didn't like," Fingerhut said. "We have a responsibility not to subcontract the gun policy of Ohio to the NRA."

1. Guns

As a Christian I am opposed to shooting people. I do not think I could, even if my life was in danger. BUT, I am going to buy a nice Glock 9mm handgun. As a Liberal, I think that would scare the conservative gun toters more than anything else could. And it might change some of the laws if they had to fear Liberals.

2. Of course; no background check for felonies, mental health issues,

etc.

But when it comes to voting . . .

3. Remind me again why a Repuke controlled Ohio House and Senate

requires metal detectors at the door?
