Concealed Weapons Bill

COLUMBUS -- More than 100 supporters of legislation that would allow Ohioans to carry hidden guns wore their weapons out in the open during a march around the Statehouse.

The gun-rights advocates say they want to send a message to lawmakers who are trying to reach a compromise on the bill. Ohioans for Concealed Carry, which helped organize the march, wants fewer restrictions than a Senate version of the bill. Governor Taft says he'll veto the House version of the bill -- which most of the pro-gun groups support.

Toby Hoover of the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence says the gun-rights advocates who lawfully carried their weapons in the open prove the concealed-carry bill isn't needed
