Ohio carry permit now exempts Federal background check

You can now use your Ohio carry permit for an exemption to the Federal background check. This is after the U.S. Justice Department and the BATF agreed to it. This makes Ohio the 25th state to allow the Federal Exemption according to the article.

" Attorney General Mike DeWine announced the change Wednesday, saying the U.S. Department of Justice and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agreed to the exemption to eliminate some of the red tape in gun purchases.

People who have already passed all the background checks for a concealed carry permit after March 23, 2015, will no longer be subjected to the background-check process every time they buy a gun."

Yes and no. While a particular shop might insist on doing the BGC, many will likely opt not to. I am basing my assumption on the fact that a CCW holder has already passed a check, the shop knows this and time on the phone means time not spent up-selling you on gear and ammo or moving on to the next customer.

Also, gun laws in Ohio have been changing for the better in the last decade or so. All of this change has happened a little at a time.

So is it a decisive victory? Not really. But it is reform that follows a pattern shown recently to be very effective.
