COLUMBUS, Ohio —

The Ohio Supreme Court will consider Wednesday whether it's constitutional to bring a gun into a bar when you're also drinking.

The case stems from a 2022 shooting at a bar east of Columbus. Advertisement

Court documents say Elijah Striblin brought a concealed handgun inside and ordered at least one drink.

He then got in a fist fight in the bathroom and shot a man in the neck.

Striblin was ultimately convicted of inducing panic and illegal possession of a firearm inside a bar, which is a felony.

But, he appealed, and a lower court found the state law behind the illegal possession charge violated his Second Amendment rights.

If the state Supreme Court agrees, it may invalidate the law.

Arguments get underway at 9 a.m.
