By the time you read this post, the Ohio Senate may have already passed a piece of legislation that would shake up the state’s rules for conceal and carry holders. Like its complement bill in the House, Senate Bill 17 would let permit holders carry their weapons in places that sell alcohol as long as they aren’t consuming.
Yesterday, the Senate committee voted 7-2 to move the bill forward, according to the Columbus Dispatch. A full vote on the matter could come pretty quickly.

Great, we’re ambling towards being Texas now, eh?
Nothing wrong with Texas. Walking to a dark parking lot at night after leaving a bar is exactly where you will get robbed.
Cleveland First, I wonder how many people will be walking to a dark parking lot at night after leaving a bar…without having had anything to drink, because that’s what the law says. You will be able to carry in the bar, but only if you are not consuming. Good luck to all the bartenders out there in enforcing that one.
