Columbus and Ohio are fighting over whether the city has a legal right to enact gun legislation. An expert predicts it won't end well for the city.
Following the issuance of the order, Yost said Columbus"has knowingly and deliberately overstepped its legislative authority."
Yost appealed the decision, and on Nov. 10, McIntosh delayed his own order so the matter could be reviewed by a higher court.Theodore Decker:Willinger predicts the back-and-forth will not end in the way Columbus officials hope. That's because the courts consistently have sided with states and their preemption laws, not with the local municipalities that decide to push back.
Only a handful of states now allow local governments to pass gun ordinances that are more restrictive than state laws. Ohio is not among them. Much more recently, some states have been strengthening their preemption laws by spelling out significant punishments for municipalities that buck them, Willinger said.
