Title says it all. Huge win for us in/around Ohio's highest crime city.

This is good news. I could see Coleman trying to pass an AWB in Columbus if this failed.

Except the case isn't over yet. There is one more issue yet to be decided.

While reversing the judgment of the 8th District on all of the constitutional issues that court addressed, the Court remanded the case to the 8th District for review of one remaining constitutional challenge to the legislation enacting R.C. 9.68. That claim, which the 8th District dismissed as moot, alleges that H.B. 347 violated the constitutional provision limiting legislative bills to a “single subject.”

It would appear that the Dillon Rule is pretty dead in Ohio.
