When I first started in journalism, most of the reporters and editors in the business enjoyed April 1. It was the day we might actually get to write the silly headlines, fabricated stories and outrageous quotes we joked about the other days of the year.

Not so much anymore.

It would be difficult to make up stories any more bizarre and outrageous than the ones that seem to consume most of the news time anymore.

A three judge panel today ruled that Ohio's concealed carry law impermissibly violates several provisions of the state's employment laws.

In what is sure to be a controversial opinion, the court held that "a person's so-called right to self-defense cannot infringe upon the right of a person to be free from violence in their workplace. The evidence before us is clear – allowing handguns in the workplace violates the fundamental right of Ohioans to work their trade in a secure environment."

The case arose originally out of a complaint filed with the Ohio Civil Rights Commission and Ohio Bureau of Worker's Compensation.

"Ohio's laws are well-settled in this area. The workplace cannot create an atmosphere of hostility, and must be free from recognized hazards," said the court. "Plaintiff has clearly established that allowing persons to carry hidden, loaded guns creates an overtly hostile, and dangerous, work environment for him. Guns are clearly recognized hazards."
