The article focuses on the refusal of Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory to fire a blank-shooting starter pistol to begin the Cincinnati Rhythm Race 5K running race in his city, claiming that he would be setting a bad example to residents in Ohio. Another mayor who opposed the right-to-carry laws is Michael Bloomberg of New York City. Mallory argued that the symbolism is bad and opted to blow a whistle instead.
