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 |
Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
