Ohio governor passes law letting gun owners bring their weapons into bars

hiraethified
Truly insane.

Ohio Republican Governor John Kasich on Thursday signed into law a bill that allows gun owners in the state to carry concealed weapons into bars and other places where alcohol is served.

The measure, which was forwarded to Kasich on June 22 by the Ohio General Assembly, was signed on Thursday afternoon. Kasich is scheduled to sign the Ohio budget later Thursday...

The new laws allow residents to carry concealed handguns into licensed establishments in the state, including shopping malls and sporting venues.

The new law also allows a person with a concealed carry license to transport a loaded handgun in a motor vehicle without securing it in a holster, case, bag or box -- and allows them to remove a handgun from a secure location.

Opponents of the laws had said that mixing guns and alcohol would endanger public safety. Supports argued that the laws bring Ohio into line with other states that have concealed carry rules.

Oh, the law bans gun owners from drinking alcohol or being pissed when they carry their weapons into bars, but I imagine that's going to be as effective as the UK "you can't serve drunk people" law.

Glad it's not happening here. The thought of Plymouth's Union Street on a Saturday night, with the punters allowed to bring hand artillery with them, is enough to really chill the blood.

Yes. If we had legalised gun ownership, I think Britain would be worse than the USA for murder and violence.
 
Unless you secure the building and search everyone coming in how do you know everyone is obeying your no gun policy anyway?When you have people going postal.Either take guns away from everyone or don't bother.As only the sane and law abiding will obey the laws.
Guns and booze don't mix.So now along with the designated driver do parties need a designated shooter or can they combine the jobs?
 
in a country where people are regularly tooled up passing laws to make places gun free unless they are secure is pointless.
it just says too a deranged nutjob I can go on a killing spree here.
most americans who choose to carry a concealed firearm tend to be much more law abiding the fact that if you shoot somebody even if its a good shoot your in a world of hurt.
The sort of cretin who goes out for a drunken night of fighting would not be carrying a legal loaded firearm.
 
goddamit, how did I miss that opportunity. the thought of drinking in a bar where some of my fellow patrons are legally carrying concealed firearms is an insane one. This is frontier cowboy bollocks.
 
Did Reuters make a late edit? Isn't this law aimed more at those working inside bars? The slot machine guy, the security guard etc?

From the same article:

Reuters said:
The law also prohibits gun owners from consuming alcohol or being under the influence of alcohol or drugs when they carry their weapons into bars
 
And why would anyone want to drink in the type of bar where they might have need to bring a gun anyway?
 
Guns don't kill people - BULLETS DO!!!!!


nothing in the the US constitution 2nd Amendment to stop bullet rationing

An Armed society is a polite society:hmm:
apparently that was what a lot of the flowery court language was about. You tend to refrain from calling people cunt to their face if they are carrying a fuck off big sword and its permitted/expected that you avenge insults.

its not so much the hardware its the Honor code that insults must be avenged with deadly force makes people polite.
