Carry in Ohio soon?

[fullmetaljesus]

I was talking to my sister on the phone last night, about her getting her LTCH and our soon road trip to Ky. We got talking about Ohio, and she said, she spoke to a LEO in Morristown that, We would be able to carry in Ohio soon, if not already because they are changing/changed their carry laws.

have any of you hear anything about this?

 

[Mr. Habib]

I haven't heard that. Not to doubt your sister, but I would be surprised to see that happen soon. Ohio bases their reciprocity on other states having license requirements that are similar to theirs. IIRC, Ohio requires training and that's why they don't honor ours but do honor Utah, Florida, and Arizona.

I did find this bit of info,

Ohio CCW (cross post from /r/ccw) : guns

on Reddit. Im no lawyer so reading through the bill made my eyes cross.

That would be swell!

Lots of handgun bills running through their legislature:
Laws, Acts, and Legislation

I didn't see anything that would change their requirements for reciprocity, though.
See Lawriter - ORC - 109.69 Reciprocity agreement.

They only recognize other state's licenses/permits that have requirements "substantially comparable" to their own. They require both training and a photo for the permit in order to exercise their rights.

Great find! Here it is:
Laws, Acts, and Legislation
Introduced 6/9/11, and in committee ever since.

Constitutional Carry for Ohio. That would be a huge swing for them!

I think it would be great if they would recognize ours. that would cover my foot print of where I travel on a regular basis during the summer. (aside from stupid IL of course)

You can already carry in Ohio. You only need a license/permit to conceal it.

That's one of the reasons I picked up the Utah permit. Gave me Ohio (I have family there) and Minnesota (we fish up there now and then).

More an more states are moving in the direction of more friendly gun laws. Maybe one day they will be more like Indiana!

Forgot about that. Of course, they also consider carrying in your car as concealed. I'm not WALKING to Ohio!

if I have my gun on my hip and im driving to Ky but cross into ohio to cross the river into ky. Do I need to stop at the board and move my gun to the trunk unloaded or what? Im unsure.

If it has been in committee this long, it will not be acted upon soon if at all.
They may just let it die in committee.

Yes. And unload the magazines as well. They have some really screwy laws and definitions.

The proper course of action is to have a Utah permit.

The proper course of action is to have an [strike]Utah[/strike] Arizona permit.

FTFY. AZ is cheaper and gets you one more state than does UT. (that said, I have both. Legal carry in 38 states=win.)

Blessings,
