It’s The End Of The Week, Everbody Get Funky

Gun Laws Changed, Rednecks Rejoice While Driving With Concealed Weapon to Nearest Park

Sometimes it is hard to remember that most of Ohio is nothing like Cleveland. Because of this we get statewide laws that seem to cater more towards the gun-toting contingent. Enter the latest WTF bill, one that says drivers no longer have to leave guns in plain view, and weapons can be brought into parks. Oh, it gets better.

“The measures in jeopardy include: assault weapons bans, junk gun bans, trigger lock requirements, gun registration requirements and bans against gun dealers operating near schools.”

Taft plans to veto the already passed bill, but there probably are just enough nut jobs in Ohio’s government to overturn the veto with no problem. Lock and load, people.

More New Laws

So yeah, you can hide your gun in your car, and pack heat in a Metro Park, but you might not want to talk about it via company email, cell phone call, or blackberry message. New laws that go into effect toady mean that companies must keep records of electronic information and make it easily available for investigation purposes. Creepy, I know, especially here at MyFriendCleveland where we are constantly discussing tax evasion, embezzelement, and misappropriated funds. Looks like we are going back to passing notes or rocking the ol’ cups and string.

Get Ready to Raise an Eyebrow

Tonight Pennywise (the Peter Pan of punk rock), The Used (their old drummer is in Rancid now), and Paramore (I think they are 13-year-olds) are playing the… ROCK HALL. That’s right shit is to open a new exhibit (where has the press been for this mess?) about the Vans Warped Tour. Corporate cross overs anyone? Vans gets exposure in the Rock Hall, the Rock Hall draws in the kids that hate their parents’ tunes. Win, win right? Except for the fact that the Plain Dealer’s info about this show and exhibit states, “featuring artifacts from My Chemical Romance.” For some reason I doubt artifact was the best word choice in this situation. Rock on?

That’s a Whole Lot of Coins

Tom Noe already got 18 years in the can for pretending to order rare coins (can’t wait until he tells the other guys what he’s in for), but now dude will also have to pay the state $13.7 million. Ouch. Good luck with that, Tommy.
