Gun-Rights Advocates Score a Win in Ohio

PJM: On Monday afternoon, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed into law a bill that removes the state’s training and permitting requirements to carry a concealed handgun in the state.

Senate Bill 215, which takes effect in 90 days, will allow adult residents of the state to lawfully carry a concealed handgun. The law removes requirements for training and obtaining a permit from the local sheriff’s office in order to exercise one’s Second-Amendment right to bear arms in the state of Ohio. The text of the legislation stipulates:

(1) A person who is a qualifying adult shall not be required to obtain a concealed handgun license in order to carry in this state, under authority of division (B)(2) of this section, a concealed handgun that is not a restricted firearm.

(2) Regardless of whether the person has been issued a concealed handgun license, subject to the limitations specified in divisions (B)(3) and (C)(2) of this section, a person who is a qualifying adult may carry a concealed handgun that is not a restricted firearm anywhere in this state in which a person who has been issued a concealed handgun license may carry a concealed handgun.

  1. Yep, the ONLY reason Dictator DeWine signed it into law was to try and make nice with all his constituents that are supremely PISSED at him. As with erb and cato, ain’t gonna work and I will cheerfully vote against him in May.

  2. Even if DeWeiner vetoed there were more than enough votes to override him. He signed to gain votes and for political theater.

    My license expired in January and I couldn’t get an appointment to renew because the one person who does this in my county was overwhelmed. Even with the renewal extension the Sheriff’s offices were jammed.

    I really did not want to take the thoroughly boring class again and pay out money to have someone drone on about the difference between single action and double action followed by shooting a target 6 feet away. C’mon man!.

    Vote for DeWhiner? Aw Hell no!
