Matt Lundy, D-Elyria, of lying to get its endorsement in last November’s election.<br /><br />In an advertisement taken out in local newspapers, The Buckeye Firearms Association said that Lundy misrepresented himself when he told them he backed changing the laws governing how concealed carry permit holders handle their weapons in vehicles and whether they’re allowed to take their guns into restaurants that sell alcohol.<br /><br />When asked on the organization’s questionnaire whether he would support concealed carry permit holders to remain armed in establishments that sell alcohol, the ad said Lundy responded, “Yes. But only if the license holder in not consuming alcohol, intoxicated, or under the influence.”<br /><br />The association said that Lundy has since voted against bringing the law out of a committee in the Ohio House of Representatives and has even introduced amendments that gun owners oppose, including one that would make concealed carry permit holders’ information a public record.<br /><br />“Matt Lundy gave gun owners his word that if they voted for him, he would be with them when they needed his vote,” the ad, which has not appeared in The Chronicle-Telegram, said. “Now that we need his support on these issues, he is turning his back on us and the Ohio gun owners he represents.”<br /><br />But Lundy denied that he was trying to deceive anyone and remains a strong proponent of the Second Amendment.<br />“I’m disappointed, but I’ve been very clear that I support the Second Amendment,” he said.<br /><br />He said he gave brief answers to the questions provided to him by the association, but has additional concerns about allowing the carrying of guns into bars and restaurants.<br /><br />He said his worry isn’t what concealed carry permit holders will do in an establishment selling alcohol, but rather what others who are drinking might to do get their hands on a gun carried by a valid permit holder.<br /><br />Jim Irvine, the association’s chairman, said everyone is entitled to their opinion, but he feels that Lundy wasn’t being truthful when he answered the survey sent to candidates.<br /><br />“He’s in a tight district and he wants our support,” Irvine said. “I don’t know why he told us one thing and did another.”<br />The association has never taken the step of taking out newspaper ads accusing candidates of lying before, but then it hasn’t encountered a problem like this before, Irvine said.<br /><br />Irvine also said he’s tried to contact Lundy several times to discuss the issue, but Lundy hasn’t returned his calls. Lundy said he’s called Irvine back, but hasn’t been able to reach him.<br /><br />The legislation is now pending before the full House of Representatives, Lundy said.<br />http://chronicle.northcoastnow.com/2011/04/26/group-takes-shot-at-lundy-over-concealed-carry-vote/Wireless.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00327912256022939023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-20019350639783451842011-04-26T23:11:16.245+10:002011-04-26T23:11:16.245+10:00Jonjayray,

Collector and target shoot yes.<br /><br />As for my free state license, the ODNR Division of Wildlife fills in 'everything' and issues a license for 'everything' thats legal, whether I hunt of not.<br /><br />Legally, because I live within 1000 feet of a private school an a public school, I cannot have a firearm in my residence.Wireless.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00327912256022939023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-33317946641911795862011-04-16T15:40:56.729+10:002011-04-16T15:40:56.729+10:00It would be a rare hunter who owned no firearmsIt would be a rare hunter who owned no firearmsjonjayrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13363092874281160320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-7812101494514603422011-04-16T13:03:06.728+10:002011-04-16T13:03:06.728+10:00"The founders' intention fulfilled!"..."The founders' intention fulfilled!"<br /><br />Flawed data used.<br /><br />As a Veteran on disability, my Ohio wild game, fishing, hunting, trapping, etc. is free.
