Can't be wrong: they prove how many incredibly sensible and intelligent people come from Ohio.
So, individual bar owners cannot decide whether or not they want to allow smoking in their bar. They cannot weigh the options, whatever factors they want to consider, and make the decision to make their VERY OWN bar smoking or non-smoking, thus allowing the public to decide if they want to go into a certain establishment or not. Nope, The Gubmint says NO, thou shalt not smoke.
But wait! Individual bar owners shall soon
not be able to tell people that they can't come into the bar packing heat. Of course, we trust that most people will follow the guidelines and not drink when they're packing heat
but short of a patdown before said customer starts buying alcohol, how would we know?
So, you cannot kill yourself (thirty years later) in a bar that sanctions smoking but you can BE killed in twenty minutes by some gun-toting drunk.
Even the majority of
thinking gun lovers thinks this makes no sense.
