“In Cincinnati Gun Case, The Buckeye Institute Urges Court to Properly Apply Ohio Law”

The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief in West v. Cincinnati urging Ohio’s First District Court of Appeals to uphold the lower court’s ruling that correctly interpreted the constitutionality of the state’s preemption law. While noting that there are legitimate debates about policies requiring firearm handling and storage techniques, The Buckeye Institute argues in its brief that this case is about Ohio’s firearms preemption law, which the Ohio Supreme Court found to be constitutional in Cleveland v. Ohio.
