Ohioans Could Be Allowed to Carry Weapons in Buildings with Courts

Local governments in Ohio could soon expand concealed carry laws and allow citizens to carry guns in courtrooms.

House Bill 272, which recently had its fourth hearing before the House Government Oversight Committee but has yet to be voted on, would allow local governments to create an exception to carry a deadline weapon into a building that contains a courtroom when court is not in session.

Commentary: Courts’ Inaction Tell Voters Democrat Election Fraud Is ‘Too Big to Fail’

The courts have spoken, one after another. Some 74 million Americans have been denied our day in court.  The Democrats’ crime of stealing a presidential election is too big to fail.

Our play-it-safe judges don’t want to venture into these enormous seas, full of sharks, without precedent. They want to say in the safe spaces of the familiar.

The Double Standard of Justice in the U.S. Is Risking the Collapse of the Entire System

Lady Justice

by Printus LeBlanc   The political world is waiting with bated breath for the outcome of Paul Manafort’s trial.

Despite being on trial for nothing to do with Russia or the election by someone that is supposed to be investigating Russia and the election, Manafort is likely to spend more time in prison than rapists or murderers.

The Tennessee chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), one of the most liberal groups in the country on most issues, and The Beacon Center of Tennessee, the state’s well respected and leading conservative think tank, along with the Nashville Chamber of Commerce and Goodwill Industries, among others, have formed the non-partisan Tennessee Coalition for Sensible Justice, which last week released their “Blueprint for a Sensible Justice System” to each of the gubernatorial candidates in the running for the Volunteer State’s highest elected office. “The Tennessee Coalition for Sensible Justice sent its 2018 “Blueprint for a Sensible Justice System” to all Tennessee gubernatorial candidates this week.
