Truly insane.
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.
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.
