Ohio recently sent a bill to their Governor that opens up more reciprocity. Does anyone think they will start honoring an Indiana permit?
In Indiana, a veto is an active process; that is, the governor has to choose to do it, as opposed to what's called a "pocket veto". Is Ohio's process similar, or if Kasich does not sign in 10 days, this dies?
The Governor has 10 days to sign or veto a bill. If signed, the bill becomes law. If vetoed, the bill is sent back to the General Assembly. At this point the bill can only become law if at least three-fifths of the legislators vote to override the Governor's veto. A bill can also become law if the Governor fails to take any action on it within 10 days.
So if he doesn't sign, or if he approves it, then when would the reciprocity take effect?
There's language in the at bill that sasy the other state's licensing reqouirements have to be "substantially similar" ot Ohio's. Would that eliminate Indiana?
I don't know Ohio's requirements but if there is some sort of trainingg, then maybe they won;t grant reciprocity to Indiana?

You were reading from division (A):(A)(1) The attorney general shall negotiate and enter into a reciprocity agreement with any other license-issuing state under which a concealed handgun license that is issued by the other state is recognized in this state, except as provided in division (B) of this section, if the attorney general determines that both of the following apply:
(a) The eligibility requirements imposed by that license-issuing state for that license are substantially comparable to the eligibility requirements for a concealed handgun license issued under section 2923.125 of the Revised Code.(b) That license-issuing state recognizes a concealed handgun license issued under section 2923.125 of the Revised Code.
(3) If, on or after the effective date of this amendment, a person who is not a resident of this state has a valid concealed handgun license that was issued by another license-issuing state, regardless of whether the other license-issuing state has entered into a reciprocity agreement with the attorney general under division (A)(1) of this section, and the person is temporarily in this state, during the time that the person is temporarily in this state the license issued by the other license-issuing state shall be recognized in this state, shall be accepted and valid in this state, and grants the person the same right to carry a concealed handgun in this state as a person who was issued a concealed handgun license under section 2923.125 of the Revised Code.
Cool. That means Ohio would make state #31 in which a resident LTCH holder can lawfully carry.
We should blow up that website with logical facts.She has to be talking about the politicians in DC when she references awarding permits to criminals...
There are two separate clauses:
You were reading from division (A):
But division (B) includes the following, for non-residents:
There are also provisions for non-temporary non-residents who are employed in the state to obtain an Ohio-issued CCW.
I see that now, had not read it closely yesterday morning. But I am still somewhat concerned. What is the point of reciprocity with teh "division (B)" language? Aren't a high % of the people to whom reciprocity would apply only going to be in Ohio only "temproarily"? Hate to see things left open to LE and judicial interpretation...
