Yeah, this guy "gets it" although it's a little surprising that the Plain Dealer ran the story. I was glad to see that he is an African-American and not someone who could be dismissed as a redneck wearing a suit. We need to recruit more minorities. Anyone who has been to any large shooting match can tell you that any faces that are not white are rare, but thankfully not non-existant. Numbers are political power. Don in Ohio |

I have serious doubts that the SC will do the right thing and rule we have an ironclad right to carry. I don't have high hopes, I hope they prove me wrong. Most likely we will get some convoluted bill from the Legislature with restrictions out the wazoo rendering a CCW permit virtually useless. |

This is why it ran [BD] "Morris is an associate editor of The Plain Dealer's editorial pages." I have to give this guy credit, he's a breath of fresh air out of that paper. They used to always call here trying to get me to subscribe. My answer was "your paper is nothing but a left wing liberal rag" After a while they actually said they were working to make it more balanced. I think they have a long way to go. |

from the [s]pravda[/b] plain dealer article: [b]This court, composed of four women, a majority, must decide whether the framers believed law-abiding Ohioans were endowed with enough inalienable common sense and personal responsibility to be able to carry weapons if they so desire. The fact that four women will help decide this issue is only an interesting footnote, given the recent campaign of Second Amendment purists and gun industry spokesmen to convince women that the issues of gun ownership and the freedom to carry are as important to them, from a safety standpoint, as they are to men.[/b] i'm not holding my breath. |

Quoted: We need to recruit more minorities. Anyone who has been to any large shooting match can tell you that any faces that are not white are rare, but thankfully not non-existant. ROFLMAO....There are reasons for that, and I bring them up here constantly. I dont see any changes coming anytime soon. |
