Letter to the Editor: So cash is worth more than life

January 5, 2004
Toledo Blade

According to Ohio law, individuals may not carry a concealed firearm unless they can use the "Affirmative Defense." One of the provisions of this "defense" states that you must be carrying a large amount of cash to be able to carry concealed.

How much money must I carry before I am legally allowed to carry a firearm to protect myself in Ohio? The way the law reads, my life is not worth defending unless I have a lot of money. So basically, my understanding is that cash is worth defending, but my life is not.
