Anyone planning on going to the open carry walk in columbus on wednesday??

[Molon Labe]

Do you have any more information about it, i.e. time, location, points of contact, etc.?

[mrtgbnkr]

I'll be there if I can...just have to work out the scheduling a bit.

WHY: These "Defense" Walks are intended to offer a "visual display" of the choice Ohioans and legislators have before them as a result of the Supreme Court ruling: open carry, with no training, background checks or "defenseless victim" zones, as is current law; OR a more subtle form of exercising the right to self-defense - concealed carry, as would be made law with passage of House Bill 12. The Ohio Supreme Court recently upheld the practice of "open carry" in Klein v. Leis. If Republican leader continue to obstruct this legislation in the name of "party solidarity", as Ohio Sen. Carnes recently put it, Ohioans are ready and willing to exercise their fundamental right to bear arms for self-defense by carrying their firearms openly.

WHERE & WHEN:

Columbus "Defense" Walk - WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2003:

2:00 p.m. "Defense" Walk to take place on Columbus City sidewalk around Ohio Statehouse

Have they had any of these walks in Cleveland yet? I don't seem to have seen any there, it would be a good place to do it since there's a lot of media in the area.

they have been all over the state. i attended the one here in cincy. and i do believe they had one in cleveland.

There was one in Lorain, which was billed as a Cleveland Suburb. But, no, there has not been one in the City of Cleveland.....too scary I imagine.

There was one in Lorain a few weeks back. I was out of state that weekend, or would have gone. [Lorain is a west-side 'Burb, I'm out in the Eastern 'Burbs. about a 1 & 1/2-hour drive for me.] So, 1 Defense Walk in 'The Burbs', but not within the city limits of Cleveland
