Ohioans For Concealed Carry, the state's largest grassroots organization working to reform Ohio's self-defense laws, announced today that its Office of General Counsel has sent letters to the first municipalities that have passed ordinances attempting to restrict the lawful carrying of concealed handguns by those licensed by the State of Ohio.
In these letters, Attorney Ken Hanson, Chair of OFCC's litigation section, details to the municipalities why their ordinances are invalid.
Hanson explained, "There has been a lot of bad information floating around, particularly with regard to so-called 'home rule' powers. This is not unexpected in the first ninety days of a new law. The purpose of these letters is to lay out in black and white exactly why the ordinances are invalid, and to give each letter recipient a last chance to avoid being sued over the offending ordinance."
Looks like the Ohioans for Concealed Carry are planning to sue municipalities who aren't abiding by the state law. Good for them; lawyers can be useful if they're on your side.
