2 DOWN, 86 COUNTIES TO GO!:

AGAIN! Yet another Ohio judge has ruled that Ohio's law against carrying a concealed weapon is unconstitutional.

"The statute deprives Ohio citizens of an effective means of self-defense," said Seneca County Common Pleas Judge Michael P. Kelbley in an 18-page ruling filed Tuesday. "The Constitution states in clear terms that the people of Ohio have the right to bear arms."

"The woman's attorney, Mark Klepatz, said she was pleased with Judge Kelbley'
s ruling.

Mr. Klepatz said the decision was 'what we were hoping for.'

'I think it takes courage for a judge to see that a statute is unconstitutional, because essentially, you're telling the legislature that you have to take a second look at what you did,' he said" (emphasis added).

"Seneca County Prosecutor Ken Egbert Jr. said he will appeal the decision to the 3rd Ohio District Court of Appeals in Lima and ask the court to block the ruling until the appeal is decided. Until then, he said the ban on concealed weapons will continue to be enforced in the county."
