Questioned by MR. GUSTAVSON:
Q Now, do you carry a firearm off duty?
A Sometimes.
. . .
Q You carry that weapon to protect your own safety?
A Yes.
Q Do you carry that weapon to protect the safety of your family?
A If they re with me, yes.
Q You do that, because you believe your life is valuable and you want to protect it, if need be?
A Yes.
Q Same thing with your family, you carry that weapon because you believe that your family s life is valuable and you want to protect it?
A Yes.
Q Is there any difference in the worth of your life or the worth of my lives of any of the Plaintiffs in this case?
A I m not going to express an opinion on it.

Questioned by BY MR. SMITH:
Q Are you familiar with the Ohio Constitutional provisions on going armed?
A No. I have no knowledge of that at all.
Q None whatsoever. Did you consider --
A A Constitutional provision, is it titled going armed?
Q Pardon?
A I don t know what you re even talking about.
Q The right to bear arms. The Ohio Constitution provisions regarding the right to bear arms.
A My -- I m -- I don t -- I m not aware of the context that you re putting this in.
Q So have you ever read the constitutional provision dealing with going armed?
A It mirrors the U.S. Constitution. Right?
Q Have you ever read it?
A Not recently. I know I have at some point.

Sigh. . .

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.

There IS a reason why I avoided Ohio when looking at law school possibilities.
