Conceal Carry Win The Los Angeles Times reports the Ohio state court of appeals has overturned a state law banning concealed carry. The story notes that the first article of the state constitution reads in part, "the people have the right to bear arms for their defense and security." It is strange - in light of this - that there is even any question. It seems to me like the folks who wrote Ohio's constitution were pretty clear on gun owners' rights. By voiding the state ban on concealed weapons, the judges paved the way for anyone to carry a firearm, with no background check or training. That, in turn, has spurred calls for a permitting system that would impose some controls.This, apparently, is part of the strategy being worked by the gun rights advocates. It makes a lot of sense and seems to be working. If the end goal is to allow responsible citizens to responsibly protect themselves, their families, and property, then the first step is to make sure there are no laws prohibiting such reasonable action. Next, when the gun control advocates in Ohio freak out over the possibility that anyone could now carry a concealed weapon, a dialogue can be established to further refine access to concealed carry permits. This benefits us all by helping to make sure that those individuals who are walking and driving around with concealed weapons have had the proper training in terms of safe-handling, marksmanship, and legal issues. |
