Hmmm, I wonder if my lawsuit could cover the cost of my gun store? I could have my ideal gun store built and stocked on the government dollar when it's denied. :lol:

No idea where Canal Winchester is (I do now, looked it up) but man, I was planning to build my gun store there. :twisted:

To put this in perspective, it is a proposed zoning change that will affect less than 10% of total city acreage. Under 9.68, cities are allowed to specify geographic areas where commercial sales of firearms can occur. However, this one runs afoul of 9.68 because they aren't treating firearms the same as other businesses in an area they have "zoned for commercial, retail, or industrial uses."
9.68 (D) This section does not apply to either of the following:

(1) A zoning ordinance that regulates or prohibits the commercial sale of firearms, firearm components, or ammunition for firearms in areas zoned for residential or agricultural uses;

(2) A zoning ordinance that specifies the hours of operation or the geographic areas where the commercial sale of firearms, firearm components, or ammunition for firearms may occur, provided that the zoning ordinance is consistent with zoning ordinances for other retail establishments in the same geographic area and does not result in a de facto prohibition of the commercial sale of firearms, firearm components, or ammunition for firearms in areas zoned for commercial, retail, or industrial uses.

That would have been nice to have known about yesterday afternoon.

I could have attended the meeting last night and dropped 9.68 on their heads and had it in the minutes that it was brought up.
