From the Dispatch:
Yesterday, a House committee approved Senate Bill 17, which would allow permit-holders to take guns into bars, restaurants, museums, stadiums and other areas where alcohol is served. The bill prohibits gun-strapped patrons from entering an alcohol-serving establishment drunk or to drink alcohol while there. The full House is expected to approve the bill today… if the bill reaches Kasich, ‘The governor is a gun owner and a strong Second Amendment supporter, and while we always review legislation before making a final decision, he supports this concept,’ Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said.

Personally, I like the only Bulleit in bars I visit to come in a bottle. The only shots to come in a glass. The only barrels to hold my beer. I could do this all day.
One Comment on "Ohio Legislation to Allow Guns in Bars Will Likely Pass"
Not that guns not being allowed in bars would have prevented this.. http://www.abc6onyourside.com/shared/newsroom/top_stories/videos/wtte_vid_11787.shtml But who is going to want to be the bar employee that has to monitor to make sure that someone with a gun isn’t drinking? Is the bar then responsible for checking to ensure that all guns are being carried legally?
