In case you are unfamiliar with the Ohio State Constitution:
1.04 Bearing arms; standing armies; military powers (1851)
The people have the right to bear arms for their defense and security; but standing armies, in time of peace, are dangerous to liberty, and shall not be kept up; and the military shall be in strict subordination to the civil power.
And you thought the Second Amendment was clear.
