Local Democrats discuss guns

By FRANCES BRENT

Toby Hoover, Ohio Coalition to End Gun Violence, spoke at the monthly Wood County Democratic Committee meeting.
Hoover became a “gun” widow in 1973. She has been active with The Ohio Coalition to End Gun Violence for decades.
She presented a petition sponsored by a coalition of Ohio gun control advocates. The ballot petition is designed to create legislative language that will allow restoration of local gun possession regulations. Difficulties, including the threat of fines, encountered by recent Bowling Green Council attempts to ban firearms from City Park, were discussed.
Note was made that a Democratic Party professional, unaffiliated with any Presidential candidate, had been assigned to this region.
