Notes from the Resistance
Although the board of the Canfield Fair were forced by law to allow carrying of firearms in open areas, they saturated “No Guns” signs on almost every building. [More]
Their motto is “Something to crow about!” What they’re crowing is, “In your faces, gun owners!”
Garrett’s attorney, state Rep. Josh Williams (R-Sylvania Twp.), says prosecutors are leaning on an Ohio law that bans drivers and passengers from having loaded firearms within reach inside a vehicle. But he argues another section of the law creates an exemption for concealed carry license holders. Garrett holds a lifetime license in Indiana. [More]
And duty to inform IF ASKED seems ripe for a Fifth Amendment challenge.
Yet the Republicans who allow this and aren’t pushing for change will be quick to brag about how they’re “staunch defenders of the Second Amendment” come election time.

Ohio officials are reminding educational, religious and nonprofit institutions across the state to consider a range of safety-related resources and funding opportunities. [More]
No, of course the one thing that will work isn’t included.

Franklin County judge, a Democrat, shoots down Columbus gun ordinances [More]
I’m not so much sure we could call him a “good” Democrat as one who could not figure out a way to override clear state preemption law without bringing a s#!+storm down on himself.
Violence is hitting Ohio’s county fairs, and state law protects guns over fairgoers [More]
It would help if they told us which laws the violent would obey, and how making the peaceable more vulnerable to their predation would do anything but make it worse.
But, like typical statists, their answer is to disempower the individual and give more to the controllers, and call for more when that predictably doesn’t do anything but put free men in restraints.
You don’t hate “authorized journalists” enough.

Fred Ode, a Lorain County entrepreneur, says he’s preparing to enter Ohio’s Democratic U.S. Senate race and is ready to pour millions of dollars of his own money into his campaign…Brown, Ode says, is “playing by the old rules. …Democrats have to make things happen.” [More]
Well, we know all about Brown’s old rules. What about Fred’s “new” ones?
Over at Ode Nepoexecutive Central, we see he owns a country club. Shall we see what he imposes when he exerts total control?
Yeah, uh, f_ you, Fred. Although I wouldn’t mind if you forced Brown to burn through some campaign cash.
And doesn’t this just say something about the priorities of many well-heeled country club Republicans I’m sure are members, who are on the course instead of at the range?

Sherrod Brown to launch a comeback attempt for Senate in Ohio [More]
And you know what that means.
Ohio voters may just be stupidly self-destructive enough…

Found this 14 year trip on the way-back machine in a box of junk that I was getting ready to toss. The anti-gun rights groups were predicting dire consequences if concealed carry licensees who were armed but not drinking were to be able to enter businesses that served alcohol. Just like their cries that there would be “blood in the streets” when concealed carry went through seven years earlier, their hand wringing over “guns in bars” has proven to be nothing but hysterical theatrics. [More]
How many bigoted smears and outright lies can you spot?
The article is not archived but the link redirects to Columbus Monthly, and the new incarnation is still out there spooking the “progressive” herd.
Today, we’re detailing nine new House bills and one new Senate bill that BFA opposes — though “new” is a stretch. These are largely the same ineffective measures rebranded with fresh bill numbers. [More]
No one ever accused Opposite Day “progressives” of actually having new ideas.
Ohio House Bill 331 and Ohio Senate Bill 214 propose revisions to the Ohio Revised Code, eliminating suppressors and mufflers from the definition of dangerous ordnance and removing language that mandates suppressor registration under the NFA. [More]
I guess it doesn’t hurt to build redundancy into a system.
I’m just the type who thinks “shall not be infringed’ oughta cover everything, in Everytown…
The matter began when Philpotts, while facing rape charges, was convicted of a weapons charge in 2018. The charge, possessing weapons under disability, often means a person convicted of a violent crime cannot have a firearm. In Philpotts’ case, he was merely accused of a violent crime. The rape charges against him were later dropped, but his firearm conviction remained. [More]
That would appear to be a no-brainer. Unfortunately, we’re dealing with no gunsers.

SCOTUS ruling against Yost clears path for effort to abolish qualified immunity for police to advance [More]
“Law and order” Republicans need to figure out who we need that law and order for, and why.
Just goes to show: I’ve liked Yost, and Thomas and Alito, but we’ll never agree with everyone on everything.

The 14 members appointed so far represent immigrant communities from Ghana, Haiti, India, Kenya, Liberia, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Palestine, Somalia, and South Korea. A fifteenth spot has not been filled yet after an applicant withdrew. [More]
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

House Dem in Ohio Swing District Turns to Liberal Firebrand Jasmine Crockett for Fundraising Help – Emilia Sykes launched joint fundraising committee with Crockett shortly after infamous ‘Governor Hot Wheels’ remark [More]
She my non-rep, “thanks” to changing lines on the map, along with pampered and privileged virtue-signaling Hudson white women.
And the Republicans can’t seem to offer anyone but an uninspiring squish.

Governor signs 2 BFA-backed bills to prohibit firearms liability insurance, sales tracking, registries [More]
He’s on again. But we can never let up on the pressure.

Major 2A win in Ohio involving an individual indicted for possessing a firearm while under indictment for crime of which he was never convicted. [Watch]
If I’m reading this right, (Republican) prosecutor Melissa Powers evidently believes Ohioans elected a Republican majority so that she could deny the Second Amendment to a man whose robbery indictment was dismissed.
That’ll be useful to know if she ever seeks higher office.

Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted has emerged as a late and leading contender to succeed Vice President-elect JD Vance in the Senate, three Republicans familiar with the process say. [More]
I have a bad feeling about this:
Husted did not clarify the difference between what he supports and a red flag law. “The bottom line is Governor DeWine and I support second amendment rights,” said Husted. “We support freedom loving Americans who want to exercise those rights, but we also want to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and those who are not legally allowed to own them.”
We know that doesn’t work.
Aligning himself with DeWine is a big red flag in itself.

House Committee passes two BFA-backed bills to prohibit firearms liability insurance, sales tracking, and registries [More]
“Friends across the aisle” is a lie. Anyone who would propose mandating such clear infringements is my enemy and deserving of my resistance and contempt.
