SB184 is 75 pages. It will go into effect on September 09, 2008. This is part of a series of articles looking at specific sections of the bill and how it will affect you. Keep in mind that I am not an attorney and this does not constitute legal advice. Concealed carry license holders are required to read the Attorney General guide. I highly recommend “The Ohio Guide to Firearms Laws” by Ken Hanson, Esq. (NOW AVAILABLE: Update for SB184).

We documented the problem with School Safety zones in our “white paper” which stated:

Ohio’s statute is completely out of step with the Federal statute. In Ohio, there is no way to have an unloaded firearm in a locked case in a school zone. Additionally, Ohio has an absurdly drafted “exception” for concealed carry license holders set forth at R.C. § 2923.122(D)(3), just like the Federal statute, even explicitly incorporating the Federal exception into the Ohio exception.

Unfortunately, the Ohio “exception” can never apply, trapping gun owners every day.

While SB184 stopped far short of “fixing” the problems with school zones, it did address the issue and it is now possible to pick up and drop off children at school.

There is no such thing as a sensible gun law, and gun bans are a fake-out fraud and abuse of power. Unwind Gun Bans and you begin to unwind other abuses so adverse to Family and Liberty.

The Second Amendment to our Constitution was made absolute for several reasons. In fact, the Second Amendment wasn't even written for citizens.

I get a predictable reaction from talk radio hosts when I say this, but follow-up clears it all up. Gun control is a European concept totally inappropriate for the Founders who escaped that kind of thinking at the nation's inception.

Let's call it for what it is: Gun Bans are a fraud of window dressing and control. Gun bans are a fake-out and abuse of power backed by official Force, and the Supreme Court just struck down a fake-out and abuse of power.
