Appeal on concealed-carry ruling filed with higher court

Any stay of a local ruling that Ohio's law against carrying a concealed weapon is unconstitutional now will have to be determined by a higher court.

Friday afternoon Seneca County Common Pleas Judge Michael P. Kelbley, a Democrat, denied a motion filed by County Prosecutor Ken Egbert Jr. for an emergency stay of the decision in the case of a Fostoria woman who was charged with one count of carrying a concealed weapon. Kelbley said he didn't have the authority to do so.

A motion for a stay, as well as an appeal of the decision, was filed locally for the Third District Court of Appeals in Lima later in the afternoon.
