Good news for Ohio

[unixronin]

Word has it the Ohio legislature just passed, by a large margin, the state's first CCW bill.  The governor is expected to veto it, and the legislature is confident they have enough votes to override his veto.

The governor's objection?  He wanted journalists to have access to the name and address of every CCW permit holder in the state, in the full knowledge that they intended to publish the list.  How stupid can you get?

Fortunately, it seems the legislature is going to protect Ohioans from their governor's lack of common sense.

I guess we will. My personal feeling is that allowing law-abiding citizens to carry concealed weapons after a background check and, in many states, mandatory training, at worst appears to do no harm.

As for the latter, it's certainly inarguable that numerous politicians have ridden gun-control into elected office (and, frankly, that many of them are blatant hypocrites about it when it comes around to what they are allowed to do).
