WEARS HIS HEART ON HIS HAT--Dennis Walker, of the People's Rights Organization, has a sign on his hat which shows how he feels about Sub. H.B. 274--Concealed Carry legislation-- as he attends Senate session, at the Ohio Statehouse, in Columbus, Ohio, on Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2002. Mr. Walker feels that the current proposal is too restrictive and would like to kill the bill and start over next year, which will probably be the case, in that the House is not expected to act on the amendments and Gov. Bob Taft seems likely to exercise his veto power. (Jack Kustron/Photoj.com)
