Via Publius:
Ohio has a "general law" that regulates the licensing of hand guns. The law is uniformly applied throughout the state and contains a provision specifically prohibiting a municipality from restricting application of the law. Nevertheless, at least municipalities have done so - Toledo and Clyde. Both passed ordinances prohibiting possession of "dangerous weapons" in parks.
On April 9th, the Ohio Supreme Court heard oral arguments on whether it was a valid exercise of home rule to enact these sorts of ordinances, or whether R.C. 2923.126 is a "general law." If it is a general law, then home-rule is inapplicable.
Comment: If you go to the ORP's weblog, you won't see this on their weblog. The 2nd Amendment used to be a "Republican" ideal, alas no longer.
