Quick, Yahoo! News: what’s the first thing you think of when a Muslim plows his car into college students and goes on a stabbing spree with a butcher knife? That’s right, gun control!

At least that’s what Caitlin Dickson did in her “Breaking News” column on Monday. Though she starts off with just the facts — one suspect dead, at least nine injured, first reported as a shooting but corrected to a stabbing incident — she quickly exits the rails when she wrote this from left field:

Ohio is one of the most gun-friendly states in the country, with both concealed and open carry permitted under state law; however, restrictions apply to colleges and universities.

That’s a GOOD thing, especially since the “male attacker” was stopped with a gun. But Dickson was intent on laying out Ohio’s gun laws:

On campus grounds, concealed handguns are not permitted even with a license, unless the gun is locked inside a vehicle on campus. Open carry on school grounds is, therefore, also not permitted.

More on Ohio’s gun laws generally:

• According to the National Rifle Association, Ohio law does not require a permit or license in order to purchase or possess a rifle, handgun or shotgun.
• A license is required for Ohioans age 21 and over to carry a concealed handgun in public, but open carry is permitted under state law without a license or permit in most public places.
• Ohio law does, however, have restrictions on firearm possession in certain “no-carry” zones, including schools, though there are a few exceptions.
• The “knowing possession” of a firearm is prohibited in any school building, campus, bus or school activity in Ohio. However, according to the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, “This prohibition does not apply to a concealed handgun license holder who possesses a handgun in a school safety zone if the person does not enter into a school building or onto school premises and is not at a school activity and is in compliance with federal law,” nor does it apply to a “ concealed handgun license holder who possesses a handgun in a school safety zone as the driver or passenger in a motor vehicle while immediately in the process of picking up or dropping off a child.”

And that was it. Dickson out. We’re not sure how these things are related, but the liberal media had to blame something, and they certainly weren’t going to place it on a Muslim refugee.
