If these bills pass, Ohioans will have way more "freedom" than residents of CA or NY.  Looking forward to the drop in the homicide rate for Ohio, as citizens can now "protect" themselves everywhere, including schools. 

Ohioans who wanted to carry a concealed weapon wouldn't be required to pass an eight-hour course or a background check under HB 227. 

Known as "constitutional carry or "permitless carry," the bill would let any resident who is 21 years or older carry their weapon inside their jacket as it is legally owned. It would also remove the requirement that people carrying concealed weapons notify police when stopped. 

Rep. Tom Brinkman, R-Cincinnati, who has pushed for a permitless carry program for decades, noted that gun owners who want to carry concealed weapons across state lines would still need an Ohio concealed handgun license. Ohio has reciprocity agreements with 39 other states.

Current law allows people to carry a firearm openly.

"There is no state mandate for training, there is no state mandate for licensing, and we certainly do not have a problem with these open carriers accidentally shooting people or becoming vigilante justice administrators," Brinkman has said.
