Supreme Court Reviews Gun Show Ban and Bar Carry Case

The Ohio Supreme Court will hear a challenge to a state law prohibiting carrying guns in bars while drinking, following an appeals court ruling it unconstitutional under new U.S. Supreme Court precedent. This stems from a case involving a bar fight where a man shot another after consuming alcohol. In California, a federal appeals court upheld a law banning firearm sales on state-owned properties, including fairgrounds, prompting gun show organizers to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. Similarly, the Indiana Court of Appeals upheld a law barring individuals accused of felonies from carrying handguns in public, despite a lower court ruling it unconstitutional. These legal battles reflect ongoing national debates over Second Amendment rights and gun control measures. In Ohio, casinos and racinos reported record gambling revenue, highlighting the state's thriving gaming industry.
