I haven't had a chance to read the ordinance yet, but from what I understand, the ban in Columbus covers more than just rifles. This is supposedly to include shotguns that hold more than 5 rounds. On the street, I am worried more about sidearms than long guns. The "conceal factor" on rifles is just a little more difficult. Some will say that a person can lay in wait with an "assault" rifle and kill you, therefor the ban makes me safer. I tell these same people that I live in a realist's world and if someone really wants you dead you really can't prevent it.
Also, before I step off the soapbox, Laws and ordinances have never really affected criminals as we all know. If they obeyed these thousands of laws, they wouldn't be criminals.
The carry-concealed law was a step in the right direction for Ohio and it gives ordinary citizens the means to defend themselves against those who use these supposed assault weapons to do bad things...Now lets hope our elected SERVANTS do the right thing and pass a law that prohibits Columbus from banning the weapons that we want.
