OSU Lawsuit Dismissed ... Another Solution

Oh, you've made yourself more than clear, Mike: people can choose to believe your tales at their peril.

I am once again extending an olive branch. If I didn't make it clear enough in the past, I am doing so right here, right now. The ball's in your court

So you're "offering an olive branch" after once again telling one of your tall tales? Give it a rest, Mike.

The ball's in your court, and has always been.

Infighting is not helpful.

It needs to stop now.

Any more of it, and this thread is closed.

[Chuck]

Please don't lock this thread because there is one troll making baseless accusations of dishonesty

It would be far better to silence the troll if he doesn't want to work towards a common goal than to shut down the discussion.

If a person is only posting to disrupt, doesn't locking the thread play into their hand?

The reason I am pushing so hard for more action is because of the current makeup of our executive, legislative, and judicial branches of state government. The planets may not stay in such favorable alignment come next year, making advancements in gun rights much, much harder, or downright impossible.

You long timers already know that, sorry about the sermonizing.

Truth can indeed be subjective, but I am not lying.

I consider your last an invitation to work commonly while putting prior transgressions behind us. I still have your number and will call.

SCC is sensitive to that. We're also sensitive to what reality is really like in Columbus. I'm not saying you're clueless. I just don't think we have the support for campus carry, or ever will, that you may think exists.

Not all Rs support our position.

Sounds reasonable.

If the fighting continues, I'll move those posts to the mod section and leave the productive posts.

To me your take just points out that more open carry walks and other such boots on the ground events are needed, with participants from all over Ohio. {I'm starting to come across like Christopher Walken in that "cowbell" skit but I know how much effect it had in the days leading up to CHL issuance. Maybe you weren't around then?}

Going back to the late 1980s, a big march from Veterans Coliseum to the statehouse by Ohio Gun Collectors Association and the NRA was attended by thousands, in response to Columbus passing an "assault weapons" prohibition. They passed the law but greatly regretted it when OGCA moved their events elsewhere. In fact by a year later the city offered a compromise/exemption, because Columbus suddenly had a "tourist spending" gap. {I know you weren't around for that, or were still a kid.}

This isn't the first time someone has opined that I don't know politics in Columbus, I beg to differ.

Didn't opine as such. I just think you may be overestimating the favor this cause is receiving in Columbus, in particular the highest office. And when everyone at the statehouse wants to see him win the highest seat in the land, there's a lack of motivation to put him in an awkward position.

After last night, he put himself in the toilet. As an Ohioan, I was embarrassed for him. There will be no escape from that.

The Ohio State University is a powerful entity. A direct assault is, as Tweed Ring says, a heavy lift. But a coordinated and organized approach might be more effective.

Some folks around here are protective of their bailiwicks.

Mike is all about SCC and the lawsuit.

Jeff is all about the campus open carry events.

Even Chuck is protective of his work at the Statehouse, both inside and out.

I wonder what could happen if they all worked in a concerted effort.

[Chuck]

There is nothing for me to be "protective" about regarding my activism
I often ask, sometimes beg, folks to come to the statehouse to attend hearings.
And I try my best to keep everyone informed of what's going on with gun bills, both pro and anti.
Right now I have a call out for volunteers, and part of that call is for help at the statehouse.

I think the word "inclusive" is a much more accurate term.

Didn't want to get sidetracked but was going to say that we may have Kasich full time in Columbus again pretty soon, getting back to the job we're paying him for. Such as letting the legislators bring bills to a vote, and signing/vetoing them appropriately.

Fixed it for you.

And yes, we'd love to work together, have made such attempts, and will be making them again.
