Ohioans head to D.C. in support of gun rights
AUSTINTOWN, Ohio- A group of local residents boarded a bus in Austintown this morning headed for the nation's capitol to rally for gun rights.
Ohioans for Concealed Carry will join other supporters of the second amendment near the Capitol building and the White House in Washington, D.C.
The event may be the first time demonstrators will bring their guns into a national park for a rally.
Members of the gun rights group met at the Pilot truck stop near Interstate 80 at 3:30 a.m. for the Second Amendment March.
According to a news release, the purpose of the march is "to petition our elected officials against establishing anti-gun legislations and to remind Americans that the second amendment is necessary to maintain our right to self-defense."
Locally, the issue has centered around an ordinance in the city of Campbell banning gun sales within the city.
Second amendment supporters held a rally over the weekend in opposition to the ordinance.
