Two Republican legislators propose eliminating the license required to carry a concealed handgun in Ohio, a change one describes as an effort to put Second Amendment rights on the same footing as others in the Bill of Rights.

The bill, introduced Wednesday by Reps. Ron Hood of Ashville and Matt Lynch of Bainbridge Township in Geauga County, would allow any person who is at least 21 years old to carry a concealed firearm, so long as they are not legally prohibited for some reason from having guns.

This is great news. I hope that they'll be able to get this through. If we can get constitutional carry and the magazine capacity restrictions lifted, I will be a happy man.:)

I'm going to have to write to Matt Lynch and thank him for introducing this.
 
I'll be pinging on my elected representatives about this one even more than normal.
Might bring up the recent fun in Colorado while I'm at it, and express my dissapointment as the slow speed other bills are going through.

I wonder what kind of moronic "Imma hunter that supports the second ammendment, but that's just toooooo much" lie I'll get this time?
 
I like the idea of pushing the envelope so the other side is the ones on the defensive, even if it does not pass.
 
Claymore1500 and I must of had a Vulcan mindmeld. I have been holding out mainly because I have never been printed and I wasn't going to give them up voluntarily for anything other than felony.

Frankly I don't feel like going to the stupid justice center with their stupid urban tube art thing just to get acosted by an overpaid doorman with a gun and a bad attitude to have a cop sign me off. I hope this passes I knew something like this was coming but I didn't expect it so soon.
 
Good Luck to our Ohio friends. We tried Constitutional Carry here in Kentucky, but it did not go through. If Ohio passes it, maybe Kentucky has a better chance this time. We'll keep our fingers crossed for our friends on the other side of the river...y'all.
 
I SUPPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will be pinging my reps and thanking the authors for introducing. I will keep an eye out for activism opportunities.
 
glove - probably not, as most states don't recognize "being from Vermont" as a valid permit.

It would be well worth it to go Constitutional Carry here in Ohio, I've been meaning to dig in the bill to see if permits would be issued to those wanting one for reciprocity/good guy card/etc.

Alaska and Arizona still issue permits, for instance, they just don't care if you have one except in a few limited situations. Considering how rarely I'm searched anyway, I don't worry about it too much.

I guess it would be good here in Ohio. But if you like to travel it would suck as you could not carry out of your home state. Bad guys are not limited to Ohio only. Lets hope they keep the reciprocity in the bill.
 
It's worth it just for the insane rage it's put anti-gun fanatics into.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer online comment section is smeared with their metaphorical blood and guts.

Again, you'd need some kind of permit for reciprocity.

If OH went to the Arizona model, I'd probably maintain my permit, I travel too.
Currently pushing HB203 (?) with the elected things, it should be going to the State Senate. I'll be ragging on my State Rep just to annoy him, he gave me a scumbag response to HB203, he can have constant reminders that if he doesn't want to fix the permitting process, we can just can the permitting process and go to the Vermont model.
 
So many folks (especially uninformed folks) consider doing in the middle of the two extremes as 'reasonable.' That means that pushing back in 'our' direction can move the discussion a bit, even if it doesn't get us what we're pushing for.

If the word the anti's use constantly is 'compromise', let's give them something other than the status quo to 'compromise' with, in other words.

You want more background checks? We want the sunset of the NFA.

You want magazine limits? We want the direct importation of foreign weapons without 922r considerations.

NOW let's talk about that 'compromise.'

I'll have to check that out when I'm off work - can't see the comment section there for some reason, from the work PC's

I like the way DT Guy puts it - this bill will knock the compromise back to the anti-rights twits giving up something, for once.
"Compromise" has been a slowerosion of rights since 1934, it is tiume to start taking it all back.
 
Good luck from the state of Tejas. I'm hoping we see something like this come up in the next legislative session (arggg why does it half to be a year and a half away) or even better perhaps a special session. BTW for all you Texas people that aren't members of texasguntalk.com, PLEASE visit this thread and give your input http://www.texasguntalk.com/forums/gun-legislation/53343-need-your-legislative-input.html. One of our members is in talks with one of our state legislators and he has asked for input on what kinds of pro 2a bills should be introduced in the next session (as I said I hope it comes in a special session). Mostly about what creating laws to nullify any future federal laws but other suggestions are going into the hat as well.
 
This is great news.

What, exactly, is so great about it? The current system is reasonable, but does little to keep some dangerous "John Wayne" type idiots from falling through the cracks and obtaining a permit. I don't support this in its current form and think the current "shall issue" needs tightened up somewhat.
 
Rooter,

I think when they 'tighten it up' they should find you're not acceptable.


See how that works? You're arguing for MORE government control of a fundamental right...

I guess a Vermonter would have to buy a Florida non-resident permit to travel in the lesser-enlightener states.
