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.

Wossa CCW?

It's an acronym. :)



(OK, to answer your REAL question, it's shorthand for a permit to lawfully Carry Concealed Weapons.)

Thanks.

(Ya silly bugger. I knew it was an acronym!)

Well, yeah, I know you did, but .... :)

... but you couldn't resist? ;)

Actually if you're going to be really technical about it, CCW _isn't_ an acronym (as it needs to spell a word in order to qualify) except maybe in Welsh.

Damn, figured me out. :)
