Today the Ohio Senate overrode soon-to-be-ex Governor Bob “I’m a dumbass RINO” Taft’s veto of House Bill 347. The Senate’s action follows the House’s override of the dumbass-in-chief last week.

Barring any successful legal challenges likely to be mounted by disgruntled big city mayors, the law will take effect on March 14th 2007.

On that day all local ordinances regulating firearms sale, possession, and transfer will become null and void including “assault weapon” bans in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo, and Columbus. On that day also, holders of Ohio CCW permits, and those holding other state permits with reciprocity, will no longer have to lock up or carry in plain sight their firearm while driving.

And last but not least, the open carry of firearms in public becomes legal all over the state.

Folks, this is huge. This amounts to one of the largest rollbacks of anti-gun laws ever.

I know our CCW law is misunderstood, but you can carry right now in Cincy if GA has reciprocity with Ohio.

Our CCW law had pre-emption on CCW from the start. Now we have pre-emption on just about everything else. :smiley:

OHio takes a step forward, while Illinois falls farther behind.:frowning:

Well that puts a stop temporarily the concerns we spoke of about a state wide AWB
