The Lima News editorial staff has printed an excellent piece on the demise of HB274.

In four short paragraphs, they denounce the unfortunate political games in the Senate, point out the decade-long history of attempts to reform concealed carry laws in Ohio, and remind readers that the Ohio Supreme Court case looms as a potential rights-restorer for Ohioans.

The Ohio Senate's Democrats have chosen Marc Dann of Liberty to fulfill the unexpired term of Timothy J. Ryan in the Ohio General Assembly.

He will finish out Ryan's two years in the Senate.

Dann will join 10 other Democrats in the Senate. They will be outnumbered 22-11 by Republicans.

Dann was heavily endorsed by various labor unions. An attorney, he was chosen ahead of three other candidates from Trumbull and Ashtabula counties.

The question for Senator-appointee Dann is this: will he represent his constituents' Second Amendment and Ohio Constitutional rights as well as his predecessor, Tim Ryan did? OFCC PAC will be investigating, and we encourage constituents in former Senator Ryan's 32nd district to do the same.
