"Stand your ground" appears to embolden otherwise weak-minded people to take risks they wouldn't take otherwise.
We're outnumbered in the state senate, and I haven't heard that Kasich wouldn't sign it.
Is ALEC at work here?

She sends an email "newsletter" every so often which is not worth my taking my time to read.

She lives in Springboro, which is somewhere in Warren CO., while I live in the heart of Cincinnati, in Hamilton Co. That's how gerrymandered the Senate is. I have no idea where or what Springboro is and don't know how she can adequately represent a urban area when she's out there in nowhere-land.
I believe the Ohio Senate is about 3-1 Republican.
If they are for this bill or any other, there's no stopping them.
