Ohio HB 227 - Ohio House Republicans introduce change to concealed carry bill

[jmp45]

This just popped up on my radar today.. FYI

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WKEF/WRGT) -- Ohio House Republicans have introduced a bill that would change concealed carry laws in the state.

House Bill 227 changes the name of a concealed handgun license to a concealed weapons license. If the bill were to pass, anyone over the age of 21 would be allowed to carry a concealed deadly weapon without a license.

Right now, those who have a concealed carry license are only allowed to carry a handgun.

Good luck, Ohioans. We got constitutional carry here in Texas last year. Things have worked fine.

I am still encouraging friends to get an LTC, as we call it here. Just for reciprocity in other states.

Ohio Constitutional Carry passed the house today 57 - 35.

Congrats to those in Ohio.
I like the elimination of the must notify part of it.
Hope the governor signs it when it hits his desk.


Between the greasy Michigan state police in uniform lobbyists and the dumbocrat governor, that won't happen here in Michigan. Nothing pro gun moves unless the State police are for it or neutral.

Eliminating the stupid must notify would be a giant help here keeping the wound too tight idiots in uniform from freaking out when you tell them you have a carry permit and are carrying, even never mentioning the words gun, armed, weapon etc.

I hope they can override the expected veto--if it's still DeWhiner, he was more anti-gun while representing OH in the Senate than many D's.

Oh man I didn't know that.

I hope you're right and they can override it if he does veto it.

Back in the late '90s to early 2000's in the Packing.org and AWBanSunset.com days, he was always one of our "frequent fliers" on the Bad Bill Pushing/Good Bill Killing "enemies list" right alongside his buddy Voinovich.

Good news indeed. Hopefully Dewine does the right thing, hopefully.
