Not Gonna Happen.....
Nope, the higher courts have already slapped an injunction on this to prevent the Judge's ruling from being enforced...... pending further investigation and rulings........
CINCINNATI -- A temporary injunction has been issued against a Thursday morning ruling that permitted some local residents to carry concealed weapons.
Judge Mark Painter of the 1st Ohio District Court of Appeals issued a stay Thursday afternoon, WLWT Eyewitness News 5 reported.
The stay temporarily voids a ruling issued Thursday morning by Judge Robert Ruehlman of Hamilton County Common Pleas Court. The ruling declared that Ohio's ban on carrying concealed weapons is unconstitutional.
Another hearing in the case is scheduled for Jan. 22, when it will be determined if the injunction will continue, WLWT reported.
Ruehlman said Thursday morning that the ban unlawfully bars people from carrying guns to protect themselves and their families, WLWT reported.
Law-abiding citizens must have the right to protect themselves against those who care nothing about laws and human life, Ruehlman said.
The ruling was issued in the case of five people who filed a lawsuit challenging the ban on carrying concealed weapons.
Ohio allows only law enforcement officials or officers of the state and federal government to carry concealed weapons.
Attorneys for the city and state said the right to bear arms doesn't prevent the state from regulating how citizens may carry guns.
The ruling only applies to Hamilton County.
The defense argued that the Ohio Supreme Court has previously upheld Ohio's ban on carrying concealed weapons.
Ruehlman's decision contradicted rulings issued by a higher court, according to the defendants.
