Ohio Supreme Court strikes down local ban on carrying concealed handguns
A copy of the opinion is here.
The Supreme Court of Ohio held today that a Clyde city ordinance banning possession of firearms in municipal parks is unconstitutional because it conflicts with a general state law that permits licensed individuals to carry a concealed weapon on any public property other than at locations specified in the state statute. The Court’s 4-3 decision was authored by Justice Terrence O’Donnell.

So another "feel-ggod" law/ordnance dies. If Ohio cities such as Clyde are like the city across the river from me, there are mini-parks (less than the allowed house-lot in size) at nearly every turn, with few stopping to realize that bit of curb-bordered grass in the middle of the street they step on when crossing is often a "park."
What is disgusting is that three of seven judges actually can't read a very basic preemption law.
