[WFLA] * Come June 12th, it'll be even easier to carry guns in Ohio. No way this will lead to more mourning mothers! [WTOL] * Philly wants to reinstate a law that requires the reporting of lost or stolen firearms within 24 hours. [Axios] * We don't do that here: The 9th Circuit rules that plaintiffs don't have to decline the option to arbitrate medical malpractice claims for federal court. [Claims Journal]

[The Lens] * After New Jersey opened up applications for weed growers, manufacturers and testing lab operators, people quickly dispensed with their applications. [App] * With great power comes great responsibility. Especially if they get rid of qualified immunity in Vermont. [Burlington Free Press] * New York is broadening the reach of its whistleblower protections and passing a digital workplace monitoring law. I wonder if either of these statutes will have a section on the proper use of emojis in emails. [National Law Review]
