And they made a big deal out of it in Texas when they finally were allowed to open carry any modern firearm
In Ohio we've had OC since 1803 when we became a state.
We've had statewide preemption over all gun laws for decades now so no democrat city or village could infringe on the state Constitution by banning IOC or CC inside their limits.
And we've have concealed constitutional carry since 2022.
Some states are late to the party.
Agreed. I love my state but Texas isn’t as gun friendly as the reputation makes you think. I really am surprised open carry took so long. Any democrats in Ohio ever threaten the gun laws there?
Every big city, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Toledo, Dayton, and some of the smaller ones.
Twenty different cities in total. They would arrest and charge you, force you to defend yourself in court.
The nonsense stopped when the Ohio Supreme Court told those filing the lawsuits preemption is the law in every part of Ohio, and cities citing Home Rule as their basis for passing their own more restrictive gun laws was in violation of state law and stop with the bullshit or else.
The best part was preemption was expanded to include all firearms ever made, knives and other bearable arms each time the cities would arrest a ctizen for carrying something they didn't like.
