ohio isn't an open carry state - this only applies to one county, where, if the injunction is lifted, concealed carry is now legal, without a permit (a-la vermont style concealed carry)

I think the Stat Appeals Court decision extended the ruling throughout the state. Whether the State Legislature decides to adopt a shall issue concealed carry permit law remains to be seen. However whether they do or do not act, the fact remains Ohioans can now carry guns on their persons without a permit, whether openly or concealed. And yes we can expect the gun banners to come forth with a barrage of hysterical propaganda about how all this will turn Ohio into a shooting gallery. It hasn't happened in any of the other 34 states in which you can be issued a permit or in Vermont where none has ever been needed.
