who thought this was a good idea?

Oh, yeah. The governor of Ohio. o_O

Ohio governor signs law allowing guns in bars

Ohio Republican Governor John Kasich on Thursday signed into law a bill that allows gun owners in the state to carry concealed weapons into bars and other places where alcohol is served.

Yes, it still allows businesses, etc., the right to ban firearms on their premises, but still. Alcohol and guns in the same place at the same time? Anyone else think this won't end well?


ETA: And again with the fireworks going off. *sigh* Last night MIGHT have been for Canada Day (thought I sincerely doubt it). Tonight? Is just people being moronic.

I have no problem with assless chaps! In fact, the more people wearing those the better. *g*

But I could live without the fireworks! :)

I live in Georgia, where the law also allows people to carry concealed weapons in bars/clubs/places serving alcohol. Ours says you actually can't drink when carrying, just like Ohio's.

It does freak me out a bit, considering I spend a lot of time in bars. I don't know how to feel about it. On one hand, I know (99% of the time) nobody gets searched on the way in bars/clubs, so licensed to carry or not, guns can get in, which is probably the scarier thing.

Heh, we just did that here--the gun thing, that is. Wisconsin calls acute alcoholism "Saturday", so I'm waiting for the first dudebro to shoot himself in the dick this weekend.
