On Monday, 19 December, 2016, Ohio Governor John Kasich signed SB 199, a gun law reform bill. SB 199 does away with gun free zones at airports outside the secure area, school “zones” away from actual school property, and some public buildings.

There may be a better term, but it becomes awkward.
Could we call it a restoration?
The point is to call attention to the fact that it is returning to a previous situation from one in which rights were denied.
While this Bill has some good sounding items, I resent vesting in the President of the Ohio State University (and other such officials) the authority to deny my 2nd Amendment rights (not privileges). The Constitution says my right shall not be infringed by any government pipsqueak.
I was wondering if he was going to go all "Republican" for some reason - he couldn't stop it....

Speaking of guns, are the Pike County mass murderers still running loose...?
How many Democrats voted with the GOP on the bill?
