I live about 7 minutes from this area in Grove City/62 exit.

No doubt that this will be used by our 'public servants' to fuel their gun grabbing agenda. I'm suprised it hasn't been all over the news like the DC area sniper case, and I'm still waiting for Boxer, Feinstein, Schuman, and their ilk to pounce on this.

Give it time.

And of course all the terrorists will gladly turn in their weapons <(•¿•)>

At this point the gun grabbers have what they want - law-abiding Ohioans aren't too keen on going to jail for carrying concealed or available in the car to protect themselves from a serial (2 linked shootings) sniper.

At this point, who is failing the people? Politicians, the police unions, the Ohio Highway Patrol commanders. Sick.

Locations for nine of the shootings are shown; locations for two others are unclear.

Can you post the map? I went to the source to see it, but it requires a subscription to view the page.

Politicians, the police unions, the Ohio Highway Patrol commanders.

I believe the FOP endorsed Bush last election. The Ohio Highway Patrol is very against conceal carry and Taft wont sign any bill unless they ok it... I think I dispise Taft.

I have relatives in the Columbus area. That's scary to think there's a serial sniper out there, esp. with all the holiday traffic on the roads.

[jellybean]

Can you see this?

Yes, but it's kind of small.

Thank you!

From their website:

Dispatch.com and the Dispatch Electronic Edition are free to print subscribers of The Columbus Dispatch newspaper.
All others are required to pay $4.95 per month for continued access.

I'm not a print subscriber.

[smith288]

Dispatch only has images they get from their newspaper...which sorta stinks because their images are small in the paper too.

[smith288]

You can register for free but certain content is only available to those who print subscribe as well... (i have only weekends)

[Bosco]

ee.dispatch.com is paid subscription, while www.dispatch.com is free registration.

[Bosco]

I stand corrected. Both appear to be subscription. Too bad - it's not that good of a paper.

[jellybean]

Thank you, brigette...that's much better!
