Warning - when Ohio passed its CCW law in 2004, they made the penalty for carrying in a car without a license MUCH more severe. You’re looking at a felony my friend. Worth the risk? Get your Ohio CHL!

What is the harm in publishing lists of concealed handgun license holders?
Beyond the fact that the Register has now made public that which statutorily was not to be public, what harm can come from this? Buckeye Firearms Association previously brought you the story of a prison guard who was tracked down by a former inmate by using a concealed carry license list published in the local paper. However, beyond this explicit example, the general public remains largely unaware of just how much harm can come from this.
So, as a service to our readers, we have prepared an example by using Sandusky Register Editor Matt H. Westerhold. We have selected him simply because the paper has pointed to him as the one responsible for the decision to publish the lists. However, it would have been just as easy, and valid, to do it with Register publisher Doug Phares or Register owner David Rau...

I’ve read the machinations his campaign has tried to make since they first told the SLT that he had only been hunting twice. I even referred to a Boston Globe story on this in my piece, which it is important to note was written way back on April 9.
Thanks for the NRA links - speaking of the NRA, as I noted in my piece, Mitt Romney supported the Clinton Gun Ban in 1994, telling the Boston Herald “that’s not going to make me the hero of the NRA. I don’t line up with a lot of special interest groups.”
And in 2002, Romney signed into law what is described as “one of the toughest assault weapons laws in the country.”
Ultimately, I don’t care how many times he has gone hunting, just as I didn’t get snowed by John Kerry’s goose hunting trip here in Ohio. The Second Amendment is NOT about hunting!! I DO care deeply about his attempts to ban semi-automatic rifles, and you should too.

I’m Chad D. Baus. The original article was posted here, and you are invited to go take a look at the stories that are hyperlinked as sources for my story, including Romney’s own admission to the Salt Lake Tribune that he had only been hunting twice (he later tried to modify his estimate to include a few times “varmint hunting”.
These same news reports confirm Romney had never been an NRA member until he bought his Life Membership in preparation for his pPresidential run.
But look - the point of the article is about how Romney seems to think gun owners will be willing to just forget his anti-gun political past (or stay willfully ignorant about it). Is he right about you?
