Fabulous news. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.

Great news! Congratulations Ohio.

Now please send some of your folks here to Minnesota. We are soooo close to getting a "shall issue" here.
Hopefully after the elections this year, there will be enough Pro-2A folks voted in that we can get it done.

Congrats again, great job!

Oh, oh! Now watch the murder rate soar in Ohio. (/sarcasm).

Not as broad a ruling as the article implies.

In Ohio it was always a defense to a CCW charge that you could have one IF you met certain criteria. Unfortunately you were forced into "proving" that you met the certain criteria AFTER you were charged with a CCW felony.

This case was about an attempt to say that even that certain criteria didn't apply and couldn't be used as a defense - even though it is in the statute. (this theory was a geographically localized opinion of a local authority).

Don't count your chickens too early.

It is still against the law in Ohio to CCW unless you fall into one of the specific criteria areas (if you don't have a CCW permit).....and then you can only use the law as a defense AFTER you have been charged with CCW.

This is NOT an unlimited right for CCW, nor does it change Ohio CCW permit law.

(I try to follow this issue in a number of states...and overhype by CCW supporters often distorts the true nature of what each state allows)

Bump for CCW! Its time for Ohio to join the 33 Shall-Issue CCW states!

There are still 11 May-Issue states, and 6 No-Issue states (+ Wash.DC). Wisconsin was close to having it passed until the state senators played their procedural games to have the voted blocked. Colorado is close too, but its not a done deal. You Wisconsinites and Coloradoans better be hopping mad and get those anti-self-defense poli-critters be afraid of losing their jobs!!!

By appealing this case to Ohio's top court the defendants risk a statewide loss.

Let's hope.

CAMP GUNFREE.
A common sense and historically proven way to keep those dangerous and destructive GUNS out of YOUR life.
MEMBERSHIPS AVAILABLE NOW!
Details below

Concerned about the easy availability of guns in our society?

Alarmed about the "gun nuts" and other freedom wackos the government allows to run loose?

Wish the government would just repeal the Second Amendment and confiscate all the guns because you believe sensible people shouldn't suffer because of some idiotic notion about some antiquated “right?”

While we can't take the guns away from the people, we CAN take the people (or at least SOME of them) away from their guns.

At CAMP GUNFREE, we have created an atmosphere of near-total tranquility where you and your family will experience the benefits of a GUN FREE environment.

The unique main gate at Camp GunFree. Most arriving camp guests never see this view from their comfortable rail cars.

Each of our camps is a gated community designed to keep guns away from camp guests. Firmly enforced security measures ensure that these dangerous and destructive devices are kept outside. Each camp boasts 24 hour, 7 day a week sentries and state-of-the-art enclosure systems, guard dogs, trenches and surveillance equipment to absolutely GUARANTEE that no firearms enter the facility. Rigidly controlled access ensures that no guns can ever be smuggled in.

No cost has been spared to ensure that Camp GunFree remains gun free.

All camp members are given distinctive uniforms to distinguish them from any gun-toting barbarians who might attempt to evade our security measures. Each camp member is also assigned a distinctive ID number to ensure that only the right people are allowed within the camp.

Room and board are provided to each member in exchange for rewarding tasks designed to provide a sense of accomplishment and to demonstrate that large numbers of people CAN exist in a gun violence free community.

Camp members engaged in one of our many fun-filled organized work activities.

The current headlines prompt us to remind you that there has NEVER been a shooting by a student in any of the camp schools and we can GUARANTEE that there never will be!!

Wonderful news!

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

How many citizens will have their convictions overturned due to this ruling (or should I say when the Ohio SC rules against the law)?

[Lazamataz]

Bump for great justice!

Can we use this ruling somehow as rationale in the great state of Illinois?

[45Auto]

My advice for all those who care about the RKBA in Ohio: Get to work right now on forcing your legislature to draft a "shall issue" CCW bill; because its my bet that they will react to this ruling by creating a "may issue" law, and you will be right back where you started from. May Issue effetively means NO ISSUE; this is California's current situation - no one but the rich, powerful, and connected gets a CCW here.

[Shooter 2.5]

I'm checking on the states that have no CCW laws and right now the folks of Nebraska are screwed because they don't have a Second Amendment. Illinois is worst because their's states "Subject to the police power, etc.

However, Kansas has one that reads:
Bear arms; armies. The people have the right to bear arms for their defense and security; but standing armies, in time of peace, are dangerous to liberty, and shall not be tolerated, and the military shall be in strict subordination to the civil power.
Someone in Kansas can do the same thing that the people in Ohio did.

Still checking on the rest.

[Shooter 2.5]

Missouri, you're screwed:
Section 23. That the right of every citizen to keep and bear arms in defense of his home, person and property, or when lawfully summoned in aid of the civil power, shall not be questioned; but this shall not justify the wearing of concealed weapons.
