The Newark Advocate is reporting that being in a sport that most people don’t expect a woman to be involved in is what drives Amanda Gail.
Gail, an 18-year-old Granville resident who was home-schooled, competes in the Scholastic Clay Target Program, which is for youths up to 12th grade.

The District government appears to be headed for disaster as it prepares to craft policies to regulate handgun registration and licensing in response to the Supreme Court’s decision declaring unconstitutional the city’s…
…Following the Supreme Court’s favorable Heller decision, city officials in Washington, D.C. have been planning to obstruct D.C. citizens from exercising their right to keep and bear arms, despite the Supreme Court’s clear statements. And some in Congress are planning to do something about it.
On Thursday [July 10], Representative Mark Souder (R-Ind.) introduced H. Res. 1331, a rule to govern House consideration of a modified version of H.R. 1399–the “District of Columbia Personal Protection Act.”
The Ottawa County Beacon is reporting that attendees to the First Shot Ceremony for the 2008 National Rifle and Pistol Championships at Camp Perry were treated to more than just a band concert, a parachute jump that delivered the American Flag and a fly-over by a pair of F-16’s from the 180th Ohio National Guard Tactical Fighter Wing from Toledo. They were also treated to a celebration of the Second Amendment by some of Ohio’s elected officials.
Department of the Interior Extends Deadline for Comments Regarding Right-to-Carry in National Parks and Wildlife Refuges Until August 8
Like a quarterback taking a knee in the fourth quarter, two of Congress’s most ardent opponents of our Right to Keep and Bear Arms are trying to run out the clock on efforts to enhance your right to self-defense in our national parks and wildlife refuges.
For two months, we have been asking NRA members and gun owners to submit comments in support of allowing law-abiding citizens to carry their legally-owned firearms in national parks and wildlife refuges — and tens of thousand of you have done so. The deadline to submit comments expired on June 30 — or so we thought.
Rather than closing the proscribed comments period as scheduled and moving toward finalizing this federal regulation, U.S. Senator Daniel Akaka (D-Hawaii) and U.S. Representative Raul Grijalva (D-Arizona), succeeded in delaying the implementation of the final rule by bullying the Department of the Interior (their respective congressional subcommittees have oversight of national parks) to extend the deadline for comments an additional 30 days!
The National Rifle Association's Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) has awarded Buckeye Firearms Association Legislative Chair Ken Hanson, Esq. with its Defender of Justice Award.
The award, which was given at the NRA's Annual Meetings in Louisville, KY, recognizes Hanson for his extensive pro-bono work to improve and defend gun rights.
Attorney Ken Hanson is a former assistant prosecuting attorney, and former public defender.
As Buckeye Firearms Association Legislative Chair, Hanson has had nearly weekly involvement with legislation, legislative aides, representatives, senators, attorney general’s office and the general media on firearm issues, legislation and cases.
By John R. Lott, Jr. The Supreme Court’s decision Thursday affirming that people have a right to own guns evoked all sorts of reactions. Let’s just go through a few of them….

SB184 is 75 pages. It will go into effect on September 09, 2008. This is part of a series of articles looking at specific sections of the bill and how it will affect you. Keep in mind that I am not an attorney and this does not constitute legal advice. Concealed carry license holders are required to read the Attorney General guide. I highly recommend “The Ohio Guide to Firearms Laws” by Ken Hanson, Esq. (NOW AVAILABLE: Update for SB184).
Most gun owners think they understand the laws about transporting guns in cars, until they find their explanation of how they complied with one section of the law was actually an admission that they violated a different section of law. Guilty as charged.
We documented the problem with our unloaded transportation “white paper” which concluded:
Action Needed: The Ohio General Assembly needs to fix the unintended change made by H.B. 12. Legislation should be passed, as soon as possible, restoring the ability of gun owners living in, or traveling in, Ohio to transport unloaded handguns. Further, the General Assembly should take this same opportunity to correct 25 years of bad case law by providing that only one statute, R.C. § 2923.16, controls the transportation of unloaded firearms in motor vehicles, and by further providing for a concrete, reliable method, not open to interpretation and including definitions, to transport unloaded firearms with a statutory “safe harbor” provision.
You helped us take our case to the legislature by sending emails through our Write to Legislators system and making countless phone calls and personal contacts with your legislators. They listened.
2923.12 will no longer be used to prosecute transportation of firearms that are not on your person in a vehicle.

June 26th, 2008, The Supreme Court of The United States announced that it was overturning the Washington, D.C. Gun Ban. But does this affect gun laws around the country?
The Supreme Court’s ruling that the D.C. Gun Ban is unconstitutional is another victory for all of America, and furnishes a new and updated roadmap of guidance for more Liberty in America for all.
I call attention to the particular defiance of law which brought it all this far to begin with. And again, and again, and again . . .
