I like the thinking that there should be a uniform set of laws in place. Hopefully it goes a long way to avoid confusion when traveling from one town to the next. Sounds like someone in Ohio might actually get it.

Ohio did pass preemption several years ago to rid themselves of Cleveland, Dayton, etc., over a veto!

Interesting. Looks like it didn't work very well as at least some of those laws were still around. Do you have any more info as to why?

that's because the mobsters that were running cleveland and cuyahoga county got voted out and will be serving prison time very soon.

Always good to hear about rights being upheld. I was unaware there ever was an "assault weapons" ban in cleveland or the registration.

I was living in Toledo during their attempt at handgun registration. Failed miserably. They did retaliate with the magazine capacity ban (no high caps sold to or in Toledo). A good gunshop JUST outside of the Toledo incorporation made a killing selling magazines. Ohio has some stupid politicians that still think they outweight the sportsman and common sense people in their state. Unfortunately, Ohio was also rife with the "say what they want to get in", coupled with the large cities taking up all the vote (sort of like Chicago and Illinois). Dayton wasn't terrible, but everyone was still harassed by the registration requirement by the city. LOTS of lawsuits filed by people and the preemption. If I remember right, it was relatively tidy business for any barristers in Dayton!

It's only going to get worse with the rinos kasich as governor and dewine as attorney general.

David Codrea makes a good point on this matter. Now that the decision is final the powers that be, (the incoming AG) need to insure that every cop and deputy in the state is apprised of the matter and knows from now on that open carry is the law in Ohio. This should be sop everywhere when a law changes.
