Columbus Magazine Ban Lives On as Ohio High Court Allows Appeal of Injunction

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court ruled 5-2 that the city of Columbus can immediately appeal an injunction blocking its 30+ round magazine ban and negligent firearm storage ordinances. This decision, in the case *Doe v. Columbus*, allows municipalities to appeal preliminary injunctions against their ordinances, prolonging legal challenges for gun owners and reversing a previous Fifth District Court of Appeals ruling.
