Update on Pro-Gun Legislation in the Buckeye State!

[Gunco]

Tomorrow, February 15, the House State Government and Elections Committee will be taking proponent testimony for House Bill 45 at 1:30 pm in room 116 at the state capitol. Introduced by state Representatives Danny Bubp (R-88) and Terry Johnson (R-89), HB 45 would eliminate the current confusing standards of carrying a firearm in a motor vehicle. In addition, the proposal would also allow permit holders to carry a firearm for self-defense in a restaurant that serves alcohol, provided they are not consuming alcohol, thus eliminating another âvictim zoneâ in Ohio. This legislation is a critical step forward to help assure that Right-to-Carry permit holders are not arrested for accidentally carrying their firearm in a prohibited manner. If you would like to attend and/or testify in support of HB 45, please arrive early and check-in at the door. If you are unable to attend, please call and e-mail members of the House State Government and Elections Committee and urge them to support HB 45.
