Over the objections of law enforcement groups, Gov. Ted Strickland today signed into law a bill that relaxes certain gun restrictions and establishes a new "castle doctrine" for shooting an intruder in self-defense.

They added alot of other restrictions to CCW laws to get it passed, but still it makes sense.

Buckeye Firearms has a good overview of the bill here. It clears up a lot of confusing circumstances (i.e. no ccw guns in "school safety zones" or park shelters and restrooms--why else would you need to carry a gun in a park??).

A CHL holder will be permitted to pick-up/ drop-off a child in a the designated area of a school safety zone.PROBLEM SOLVED: Ohio License Holders Helplessly Confused by Contradictory School Safety Zone Statute!!

Double Amen. An intruder coming into your house is not coming for a social gathering.
