Favorite Quotes
13:41 - "My problem with Ohio's Constitutional Carry is the lack of training requirements. Without the training requirement, I don't think many people will get that training on their own." - Jim Larkin
21:33 - "Notifying the police, that's by the second amendment, no infringement there. You're still allowed to possess your weapons. You're still allowed to bear arms, no infringement. The government is not coming to you and saying you cannot bear arms. What we're saying is that you can bear all the arms you want, but when the cops are dealing with you, you have to tell them." - Jim Larkin
24:15 - "The fact that you're carrying a gun does not rise to reasonable suspicion, nor should it." - Jim Larkin
26:13 - "If a police officer sees a known criminal driving down the road and there's an empty mag on the floor of that car, we should be allowed to start handling business at that point. That's what society pays us for. Society pays us to keep these people out of our neighborhoods and out of our lives. Let us do our jobs." - Jim Larkin
41:15 - "When I first started practicing law, representing defendants and everything else, and meeting with them in jail, almost every defendant had either a drug or mental health issue. But once you got them off of that, they were good people and not conveying crimes and were productive members of society. Many people out there that have drug or addiction issues are good people." - Nathan Manning
49:30 - "I have no problem with the federal government being involved in National Security because they're allowed to be involved in National Security. Do you know what they're not allowed to be involved in? States' Rights, Department of Labor, Education, and Welfare. They're not allowed to be involved in any of that." - Jim Larkin
