Reps. Danny Bubp & Jarrod Martin introduce HB203: Restaurant Carry

PROGRAMMING NOTE: Rep. Bubp will appear as a guest on Firearms Forum, Ohio's first talk radio show about guns and gun rights, this Sunday night on Cleveland's WHK 1420 AM and live on the Internet. The show begins at 8pm, with Buckeye Firearms Association Chairman Jim Irvine as host.

Representative Danny Bubp (R-88) of West Union and Rep. Jarrod Martin (R-70) of Beavercreek have introduced House Bill 203, which seeks to "allow a concealed carry licensee who is not consuming liquor and is not under the influence to carry a concealed handgun in a retail food establishment or food service operation with any class liquor permit issued for the location."

Lima News Editorial: Concealed carry without problems

The Lima News has published an editorial addressing the latest spike in applications for Ohio concealed handgun licenses, and also in the overall success of the program to date.

The editorial begins by noting that "critics of concealed carry legislation have been silent of late in Ohio, and with good reason. People who legally carry are responsible, law-abiding citizens who mean to protect themselves, not to harm other people."
