Public Info on Sandusky Register Managing Editor

Sandusky, Ohio (TLS). The Buckeye Firearms Association has posted the following information on its website concerning the public records of Sandusky Register Managing Editor Matt Westerhold.

Westerhold is the one who approved the plans to publish the names of concealed handgun owners in the area of Ohio covered by the newspaper.

In order that all parties involved have a level playing field, journalists as well as gun owners, we will publish Westerhold's address and property information, which can be found in county courthouse records, all of which are open to public inspection.

'According to Public Records: Editor Westerhold owns 322 Deepwood Lane, Amherst, Ohio 44001. Matt purchased this house on April 28, 2005 for $124,900 and borrowed $123,920 from Union National Mortgage Company to finance the purchase.

'It is not clear if Matt actually lives in this house, because he claims a residence in Sandusky, Ohio.

'Interestingly, this picture appears to show Matt’s blue 2003 Chevy Tracker in the garage, license plate # DA*3816 (*redacted for privacy concerns). Matt was operating this vehicle on September 1, 2006 in Oberlin when the Ohio State Highway Patrol pulled him over for speeding. Matt was cited for failure to wear a seat belt and was warned about his speed.

'It is unclear from the public records if his status as a member of the MSM played a role in the warning versus a citation for speed, and unlike concealed carry license holders, no quarterly reports are forwarded to the Attorney General on the number of MSMs who violate Ohio’s laws and/or have their driver’s license suspended or revoked.'
