Subject: Father of 8 wk old baby dies - pizza delivery robbery

This past week in Columbus another senseless crime occurred.

Mark Cockrell, a pizza delivery driver, was shot and killed as he delivered
a pizza. The take: $30. That's right - 30 bucks.

His wife and mother of their 8 week old baby daughter said "That night
was the first night that he didn't have his gun with him." Any legislation
that allows law abiding citizens to protect themselves will be too late
for Mark or his baby.

Drivers (or anyone) are not permitted to carry handguns OR clubs with
them for protection in accordance with city ordinances. Ohio has no CCW
law.

The slime that commit these crimes carry whatever they want.

It is a sad day when anyone dies under the circumstances that Mr.
Cockrell did. It is even sadder when he did not have the legal right to
defend his life.

We have become a nation of cowards, ladies and gentlemen.
