This is true since the court lifted its stay.
I urge all Ohioans to now carry a concealed weapon. Do so whether you feel the "need" to or not. This next part is important: Keep a diary of your activities. Entries in your log should be along the lines of "Carried a concealed weapon today; did not shoot anyone." There will come a time when the antis will allege that concealed carry will cause blood to run in the streets. You have the chance now to document a period in Ohio's history when no concealed carry law existed, yet no such carnage occured. Ohio could still get stuck with a concealed carry law in the future. By carrying concealed now and documenting the lack of violence, you will help the legislators who will argue against restictive language in any such future statute.
The best case scenario is that the General Assembly leaves the issue alone; a Vermont-style law. By documenting a high rate of concealed carry without a corresponding increase in violence, "shall issue" could be the "worst case" scenario. Failing to document a lack of violence during this period could get you stuck with a California style discretionary system. (If you're not a movie star or a big donor, you can forget the permit!)
START PACKIN' NOW!!
