SWANTON — Following the lead of “defense” walks in cities such as Columbus, Dayton, and Lima, local organizers will lead their own march Sunday on Main Street in Swanton.
The walks are protests in response to a recent Ohio Supreme Court ruling that the state’s ban against carrying concealed weapons is constitutional. Participants will carry their loaded handguns in plain view, which is legal in Ohio.
The Swanton march will begin with a safety talk at 1 p.m., followed by a walk through the neighborhoods. The staging area is at 517 South Main St.
