Bill would allow Ohioans to carry concealed firearms with no permit training The Columbus DispatchOhioans would no longer need a permit or training to carry concealed firearms under a bill introduced on Tuesday by a Pickaway County representative.
Gun-rights advocates immediately cheered the measure as an affirmation of Second Amendment rights, while critics, including law enforcement, expressed opposition because current training requirements and background checks would be wiped out.
...Five states now allow concealed carry without a permit — the most recent was signed into law on Friday in Kansas — and at least 10 other states are considering legislation.
“Any law-abiding citizen should be able to carry a gun, concealed or not,” said one of the co-sponsors, Rep. Andrew Brenner, R-Powell, who noted that he hopes new gun users would get training anyway. “Whether they’re carrying it underneath a jacket or openly displaying a sidearm should make no difference.”
“Ohio has been 10 to 20 years behind the country on firearms stuff,” [OH speaker of the house] said. “The world didn’t end in any other state where this passed, and it won’t in Ohio either.”
