Just got off the phone with the aid for Representative Mandel. Couple comments most people here have already said. "don't expect to see the bill move anywhere this house session"... "don't expect to see ANY pro-gun legislature move this house session" But also he said "but on the good side, don't expect to see any ANTI gun legislature get passed either" I also asked about state preemption and what can we do for cases where local legislature has passed restricting the sale, transfer and carrying (open or concealed). My exact question was "What can we do? Supreme Court has ruled against it, but unless I want to go challenge it by open carrying, getting arrested, hiring a lawyer, taking it to local court where I'll likely lose, then appealing where I'll win... I know Ohio has said you are to be paid for lawyer fees etc when this happens but this is a lot of a pain in the ass to go through" He said he didn't have an answer for that, but they have a council that researches these issues and he'll talk to them and get back to me early next week (I won't hold my breath). He pointed me towards City of Lima vs Ohio for a Home Rule ruling. I pointed him towards OFCC vs Clyde as just another example. So good news and bad news I guess, like you guys said, don't expect HB203 to pass.
