When officer Harless of the Canton, Ohio police department came upon a vehicle stopped in the roadway most of us were focused on getting restaurant carry legislation signed into law.
What took place that evening has become an international viral video, calls for the resignation of the City Council president, and criminal charges against a man who is clearly heard trying to state that he has a license. Ohioans For Concealed Carry has not just raised thousands of dollars in a legal defense fund, but we've written legislation to resolve this matter that Representative Danny Bubp has stated he's going to introduce this fall

We'd like to take a moment to salute Ohio's own Senator Portman for helping to vote this down and protect our rights. Contrast that to the usually disappointing Senator Brown, who once again walked in lockstep with the worst of the anti-gunners. If nothing else, they have consistency.
