My home town finally catches up, We are winning.

In 2006 the State of Ohio passed a law providing that no municipality in Ohio could make gun laws that were more restrictive than the State of Ohio Revised Code. Well, it took 5 years but Columbus finally voted last night to remove its draconian gun laws from the books to avoid being sued. No more limits on magazine size, owners of concealed carry permits can now carry legally in city parks, no obtuse restrictions on ammo and make and model of firearm and no more worries about Columbus re-instituting its Columbus Gun License that you formerly had to apply for and purchase before purchasing a gun (that was removed about 5 years ago).

I'm not saying they were happy to do it, but they finally did (only after the Ohio Supreme Court upheld the state law though).

Fantastic news! Any idea which states conceal carry permits OH honors (if any)?

Indiana does. (Never a question with IN: if you have a carry permit, the Hoosier state honors it.)

Oh, sweet. Just looked it up on VCDL.org's site and see that I can move around freely in the following states with my VA-issued CCL:

VT, DE, VA, NC, SC, FL, WV, OH, KY, IN, TN, MS, LA, AR, MO, OK, TX, ND, SD, NE, MT, ID, UT, AZ, NM and AK.

Too bad for me I am frequently in NV and CA...
