Anti-Gunners Lose 1st Round in Ohio

Meanwhile in Ohio, in a post somewhat related to the previous one, the gun-grabbers lose in court, in an attempt to squash the new concealed-carry law there. From the Marion Star:

The state's three-month-old concealed weapons law passed its first test on Wednesday when a unanimous Ohio Supreme Court threw out a lawsuit that claimed county sheriffs do not have the resources to conduct thorough background checks of permit applicants.

The court, without comment, dismissed the lawsuit filed by the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence, which promised to keep fighting the law.

The Legislature passed the law after nine years of debate, and Gov. Bob Taft signed it on Jan. 7. It went into effect April 8, and the coalition sued the sheriffs the next day.

As more states "grant" their citizens their constitutional right to bear arms, you're going to see a LOT of these desperate attempts.

Unfortunately, because of the bastard spammers, the strings "google.com" and "yahoo.com" (even in your email address) are currently banned as well. So are strings such as "cialis" (a common spam) which rules out words such as "socialism". Try putting a hyphan in a word like that.
