Open Carry Day in Ohio

Open Carry Day in Ohio - Ohioans have been fighting for a concealed carry reform bill similar to Minnesota's for some time. Their legislative and legal battle has been long and brutal - and, at the moment, the legal opposition comes down to Governor Taft, who is pretty much singlehandedly stalling things.

However, due to a recent court decision, open carry is legal in Ohio. So CCW Reform supporters in Ohio are carrying openly as part of an organized campaign of civil resistance - and may be planning a march on the capitol, according toClayton Cramer:

Ohioans For Concealed Carry has announced that activists from across the state who are interested in protesting Governor Taft’s obstruction of concealed carry reform will "openly carry" their sidearms, beginning in a public park at the corner of Parkview and Commonwealth outside the Governor’s Mansion in Bexley, November 30 at 2:00 p.m.

In the past two months, over one thousand Ohioans have staged 'Defense' Walks around the state, at which they openly carry firearms to protest the failure of their elected officials to keep their promises and enact concealed-carry legislation.
