It’s this story again
A year ago, a push was on in Ohio to allow concealed carry in bars, like most states have. There was the usual calls that there would be blood in the streets and murders and drunken shoot outs and on and on. You know, the usual hysteria we expect. And once again, all that stuff keeps not happening.

Keep in mind, though, that only CHP Holders can legally carry Concealed AND they are not to take a Drop. The main purpose of this law was to allow someone to go to TGIFridays with the Family, and not have to Disarm just because there was a Bar on the Premises.
And of, course, every Bar Owner has the right to post “No Guns Allowed” signs if they wish to.
BTW, interesting footnote. I see in that article that out of the 88 Counties in Ohio, Franklin County has the fastest growth rate of CHP’s in the State. Which is Ironic, since Franklin County has probably more LEOS per Square Foot than the other 87. Why is that? Because Franklin County is Home to OSU AND the State Capital of Columbus. So there has to be more “No Guns Allowed” places than any other local in Ohio. So why all the new CHPs? Oh, that’s a silly question to ask, isn’t it?

Well; if all they have is hysteria, then hysteria it shall be.
What would YOU do if your job was to lobby for the violation of a constitutionally enumerated right, and the tide of history (and public opinion) was against you?

Lyle, you mean like using the same cliche’s over and over again and expecting different results?
