Klein v. Leis Amicus Brief

Case information: Klein v. Leis, 795 N.E. 2d 633 (Ohio 2003) (No. 02-585)

At issue: Challenging state’s concealed carry ban. This action challenged an Ohio statute prohibiting the carrying of concealed firearms.

Law Center’s Brief: Our brief argues that regulating concealed weapons is a reasonable exercise of the legislature’s power. The brief claims that the legislature, not the courts, is better able to fashion solutions to gun violence. The court ultimately upheld the statute.
