So close

[Ohiosam]

Just need DeWine to sign it. I'm sure DeWine wants to veto it but the polls for the primary aren't as friendly to him as he would like them to be.

"Republicans in both chambers of the Ohio General Assembly passed legislation Wednesday removing permitting, training, and background check requirements to carry a concealed weapon.

Senate Bill 215 now goes to GOP Gov. Mike DeWine, who can sign it into law or veto the legislation.

It passed 57-35 in the House on Wednesday, mostly along party lines. The Senate passed it in a party line vote hours later."

Darwin going to be giving out a shitload of awards with this.

Don't screw this up DeWine. Everyone know you are a rino. No need to emphasize it with a veto.

This is one of those issues where I'm conflicted as a 2A guy. Of course I like the idea of being allowed to carry without "prejudice", but I don't like the idea of everyone Tom, Dick, and Harry having that ability too. It seems to be working well in other states and as someone who is in WV a lot, I've not seen any reports since they adopted it that would say it was a bad thing. Seems like most who can carry, are carrying and there's not a corresponding spike in people concealing a weapon.

Tom, Dick, and Harry probably have been carrying anyway.

 

[giles]

I think it is great. The irresponsible people that want to carry probably already are. Your thugs, drug dealers and trashy bottom feeders. Why not add a few responsible people with guns? It is your right. There will always be Ike's and Earp's.

This allows people to have a loaded weapon in the car as well.

 

[GoetsTalon]

Still need it to cross state lines which I do a lot (Michigan).

 

[giles]

Yup. And just like mask, no one is saying you can't still go get one.

I also think it will help the classes. Someone that will carry now will want to be more comfortable with it. So they will educate themselves. Less ropes and stress when you can do things at your own pace.

Just makes sense for me to have it for the same reason. Not to mention the police officer that pulls you over knows first thing that you have the license and are carrying. Think them knowing you are aware of laws and likely to help back them up in a time of need goes a long ways.

 

[GoetsTalon]

Yeah been checked by wardens and one state trooper. Up front out of the gate and all were cool. None wanted to see the gun. It's about complying with them. Wish the people that have the most trouble with them would learn that. You know. Inner city folk lol.

 

[hickslawns]

Yep. Been pulled over a couple times. Communicated I was carrying. Their reaction was a shrug of shoulders and "Oh. Okay. That's cool. What are you carrying?" Lol

 

[giles]

In alaska you don't need a permit or anything. Unsaid rule is to put both hands out the window or on the wheel until you make verbal contact. Pretty simple and easy.

The ones you have to worry about are already breaking gun laws.

NRA-ILA | Ohio: Gov. DeWine Signs Constitutional Carry

Today, Governor Mike DeWine signed Senate Bill 215 into law. This makes Ohio the 23rd constitutional carry state, and the second to join that group in 2022. Constitutional carry empowers law-abiding citizens who are already otherwise eligible to obtain a carry permit to exercise their...

90 days before it takes effect?

If I was a LEO, I’d not be too happy about the no requirement to notify. I also know lots of wannabe “don’t fuck with me” types that really need training on both firearms and the laws that go with this responsibility. But I’m 100% good with not paying the government to exercise my constitutional right.

Because criminals always notify?

 

[Jamie]

no reason to not notify law enforcement that you are carrying unless you have something to hide. If I was a cop, I would assume everyone has a gun and may pull it on me at any second without warning every single minute I was working.

 

[bowhunter1023]

I'm honestly surprised he followed through with signing it, but as a RINO seeking reelection, he couldn't risk the gun vote. Make no mistake, Dewine is not pro-2A, this was a political move to buy your vote in the primary. Don't forget how he handled COVID when May comes around...

No, but if I'm pulling a dude out of a car for a DUI, or a bolo for a domestic for example, I want to be notified. I'm not going to pretend ever guy has a weapon. Just me though.
