Two Ohio Developments

"Home Tyranny" Challenge

Three years later, the Ohio Supreme Court will wade into a thorny issue that has the National Rifle Association, Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann, and Ohioans for Concealed Carry aligned against cities. The court must decide whether the state can tell local governments whether they can regulate guns on their own property, the latest battle in the wider war over local home-rule authority.

But I note the conviction still stands.

Keep an eye on this, because it will tell us if we need to covertly, rather than openly defy monster-enabling local edicts.

And keep in mind that state preemption is a two-edged sword. Yes, it eliminates the "patchwork quilt" effect of impossible-to-follow "laws," but the state has no moral authority to infringe on liberty, either.

There's only one person who can make such a choice for me, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't convene in Toledo or Columbus, or wear a black robe.

"Castle Doctrine" in Committee

In another Ohio development, NRA tells us affirmative defense of self-defense legislation is scheduled for a vote in the Senate Judiciary Criminal Justice Committee on Wednesday. Ohio gun owners, please take a moment to email committe members and tell them you expect them to support Senate Bill 184.

Here, I'll make it easy for you. Just copy and paste these edresses into your email:
