Lorain Lt. Jim Rohner, who heads the city’s detective bureau, said a person should have a “cooling off†period before buying a gun — even if it’s only a few days. “I think it’s crazy someone can go in and get a background check and have a gun in a matter of an hour,†he said. “What’s the hurry? When you’re buying a gun why do you need it right now?â€

How about we pass a law that systematically requires for Police to have a cooling off period before they strap on a firearm in performance of their duties? After all they have one of the most stressfull jobs and deal with some of the worst our society has to offer. It would go a long way to prevent suicides and it would make our communities safer. They should do it for the children.

Something tells me Lt. Jim Rohner would oppose such a law as if it were a law requiring for Police to give up their first born sons but at the same time this jerk thinks that we the people don't matter.



This is the case that anti-gun leftists have been waiting for, but their reasoning is really disingenious. For the most part leftists are at the helm of every liberal indoctrination center in the country such as DC, New York,Los Angeles, and other cities. Politically left cities aren't known for their peace loving residents and are among the cities with the highest murder rates in the country. In every one of these places there are stringent victim disarmament laws in place. These laws have proven their worth by doing nothing but making it harder for the honest citizen. You'd think murder wouldn't be a shock to liberals being as they control the area's that see the most problems but you know you haven't heard the last of this article.

If I hear cries for more restrictions because of this case I'll just think to myself that anti-gun leftists are the ones responsible for many an untimely death. Their arguements for waiting periods are meritless.
 
Gee, if she would have only filed a restraining order against her husband, the LAW would have certainly protected her:rolleyes:
 
Lorain police confiscated three rifles and a .38-caliber Special from Kallas the day of the fight but did not charge him for pushing down his wife.
So if he wasnt charged with any crime why didnt he get the weapons returned to him?

I have been to that library plenty of times before and its not an unsafe place to work at all.

This guy was off his rocker.

Looks like the police srewed up and are looking to pass the blame.

So, he didn't even need the handgun to kill her "right now", did he? He simply bought a gun the day he was going to kill his wife. Had he been turned down or had to wait 5 days, he'd have likely just used one of the rifles he already owned. Of course, the antis would just ban everything so he couldn't have killed her at all. Ooops...knife/bat/hammer. Guess that woman was going to die, sadly, no matter what laws were in place.

lenny,

6th and Reid's gotten kind of nasty. (where the libray is)
We used to live on 6th just a few blocks from the library and it's weird cause my wife and I were commenting a couple of weeks ago how bad the area has become.

I've heard the name George Kallas before, I just can't place it. IIRC, the Kallas family is pretty well known in Lorain. I believe one of the Kallas children (girls) was in the International Festival.
 
He strode calmly into a gun shop Tuesday on Ohio 57 and breezed through an instant background check, before returning a short time later because his ammunition was too large for his gun.
:eek: What!? How?? I thought the background check was hooked up to the pre-cogs from Minority Report? Isn't this the fault of Tom Cruise -- I say prosecute his failure.
 
Anyone catch how they phrase the caliber

of the revolver that got confiscated?


".38-caliber Special "

Don't know if it is just unfamiliarity ( we would call it a .38 special caliber) or a deliberate attempt to make the 38 special sound like a "Saturday Night Special". I can see a reporter doing the first, but can also see them trying to make it sound worse than it is too.
 
When folks bring up this "cooling off" deal, I ask about the consequence where a woman had to wait before taking delivery on her handgun. During that time, her restraining-ordered ex-husband murdered her. (Pennsylvania?) That was not a unique event; it has happened more than once...

Was married to her for 40 years ...
then shot her ...
anyone else besides me see a connection?

The gun had nothing to do with it!

found something else.)
