Today the Ohio Supreme Court released its opinion in Clevland v. Ohio, 2010-Ohio-6318. The case originated when the City of Cleveland brought suit against the State of Ohio for its "pre-emption" statute under Revised Code 9.68 of Ohio law. The Ohio Supreme Court held that 9.68 is, in fact, constitutional and does not infringe on local municipality constitutional rights. The issue had already been decided in Ohioans for Concealed Carry v. City of Clyde, yet the City of Cleveland decided to take the matter up once again.
As general counsel for Ohioans for Concealed Carry my office has been eagerly anticipating this decision. Currently Ohioans for Concealed Carry is arguing an ancillary issue to 9.68 in the County of Mahoning. Stay tuned for further updates.
