The Republican-dominated Ohio Senate passed a bill 25-7 Wednesday to allow concealed carry permit holders to carry weapons into bars, restaurants, and open-air sports stadiums serving alcohol. However, those packing concealed heat could face felony charges if they are caught boozing it up.

"I agree that you shouldn't be mixing alcohol and guns," said Sen. Tim Schaffer, a Lancaster Republican who sponsored the legislation. "This bill doesn't allow concealed carry permit holders to consume alcohol. Period."

.......
A trio of eastern Ohio Democrats -- Senate Minority Leader Capri Cafaro, and Sens. Jason Wilson and Joe Schiavoni -- crossed the aisle to join Senate Republicans in voting for the legislation.

The bill also would wipe out Ohio's laws about where concealed carry license holders must keep weapons while transporting them in their car. Currently, concealed-carry permit holders can travel in their vehicle with a loaded weapon as long as the weapon is holstered or kept in a glove compartment, console, or box.

Uh... Ohio... What??
