State Sen. Tim Schaffer, R-Lancaster, has proposed some changes to the law, and while they generally make sense, we do have some concerns.
If Schaffer's amendment goes through, concealed-carry permit holders will be able to take their weapons into businesses that sell alcohol, including groceries, restaurants and bars -- as long as the business doesn't prohibit them, of course. That might be fine for stores and restaurants, but we seriously question mixing guns with alcohol in bars. The law would require those carrying guns to remain sober while doing so, but Ohio law also requires those who are driving to abstain from alcohol, and yet some still will consent to at least one drink. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
