Pro Gun Voter Guide Ohio General Election VOTE Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2012 This list of candidates developed by our friends at Buckeye Firearms Association (BFA) shows the district, name, party affiliation, and grade of candidates running for office in the Ohio General Election. The higher the grade the stronger the pro-gun support. “Aq” = an “A” grade candidate based solely on their questionnaire (no voting record available to evaluate.) = a candidate officially endorsed by BFA. OGCA is proud to work with this grassroots organization to elect pro-gun candidates!

In fact, 93 books can be counted on the list below by current, living OGCA members. Our history book, The First Seventy-Five Years due out in Spring, 2013 will proudly recognize all current members who “wrote the book.” If you are the author of a firearms-related book and your name is not on this list, please contact the OGCA Business Office today at [email protected] or (330) 467-5733.
