[Malum Prohibitum]

The Ohio Supreme Court voted 5-2 against hearing the appeal of Bruce Beatty, who was convicted of carrying a concealed handgun into Toledo's Ottawa Park in protest of a city ordinance.

I believe Ohio's new law, passed over the governor's override and which goes into effect in March, will void all those local ordinances. Beatty just protested a bit too early.

Good read. Thanks for the link.

He is filing a motion for reconsideration.

The Beatty case began when Bruce Beatty held a party in a Toledo park to celebrate the one-year anniversary of concealed carry in Ohio. His well publicized event and subsequent misdemeanor charges, for possession of a firearm in the park . . .

It appears the case on which the court of appeals relied to rule against Beatty has been overruled.
