Ohio's Anti-First-Amendment Law

Ohio lawmakers have scored another big minus by creating a law that allows journalists to see certain public records, but not copy them.

Way to go, you legal sharpies at the state capitol.

The records in question are those with names of concealed-carry permit holders. The Dispatch published an article on it today. Here's the link.

The records are public records, not journalists' records, not NRA records.

And anyway, who cares that some of these people don't want to be identified as having state permission to carry a loaded gun? Who cares what the NRA wants, when it comes to stomping on the First Amendment, rather than the Second?

I fully intend to get one of these permits soon, and also maintain my NRA membership. I don't care who knows it and I don't see why anyone would.

This is another hypocritical Ohio law. Why aren't media raising hell? Where's Jay Hottinger when we need him?
