Fire Mission - Ohio Restaurant Carry

[JPCleary]

I was asked to forward the following:

For those who live in or travel to Ohio, carry in restaurants where you can
consume alcohol will be allowed 10/1/11. There is an article WITH A POLL at
Carrying guns in bars to be legal come Friday | CommunityPress.com | cincinnati.com
Coming-soon-guns-bars?odyssey=nav%7Chead

Or Carrying guns in bars to be legal come Friday | CommunityPress.com | cincinnati.com

The poll needs our help. Current results are almost 2-1 AGAINST the new
law.

327 for / 556 against - I just voted.

The people in Ohio already voted-they elected a legsilature and govenor that support the Second Amendment. That was the poll that really mattered. With a headline like that of course the antis come out.

I just voted. It is 702 against, 464 for. Doesn't surprise me coming from a Cincinnati paper. Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati are all "liberal" cities. The state legislature and the governor are what count though, not the flaming liberal anti-gun press who expect the streets to run red with blood on Friday!

Its now 898 to 640 favoring against. I am personally welcoming this change. The wife and I both have family in Ohio and we will undoubtedly be armed when we travel. We often times go out to eat while we are there too. I wish more states would take a cue from Ohio here.

Just remember that the law allows licensed CCW in the establishment but you cannot consume any amount of alcohol while carrying in Ohio. None, zip, zero, nada!

Now 667 yes vs. 921 no

Gannett also owns my hometown newspaper. In fact, I was able to log on to the forum using my local userid. That publisher invariably presents a very anti-gun bias.

[satori59]

Voted.

The effective date of this law is Sept 30, 2011. That is tomorrow not Saturday. See link above.

Just voted -- 1067 Yes to 980 No

[noway2]

Ok, so now I voted from home too. It is now 1138 yes to 988 no. I should be sneaking and use other IP addresses, go through TOR and other things to obfuscate my origins

[satori59]

1153 to 989 now.

15 to 1 in about 15 minutes.

Here, same stuff went on..... the "oh my ... " stuff. We can carry in any bar , restaurant, etc. and you can have a drink, you just can't be drunk, under the influence, etc. while carrying.... and agree by carrying to any test for blood alcohol level that are reasonable.

Law - abiding citizens, especially those that take the responsiblity seriously, aren't going to suddenly become raving drunk lunatics and shooting up the bars.

All has been quiet here the last 2-3 yrs since they passed it. No issues, no problems, no lunatics.

Congratulations that your Legislature went by the facts, rather than the fear mongers.
