Ohio gun owners are well aware of our antiquated, backwards laws relating to gun ownership and usage. One thing area gun owners of every stripe – hunters, clay shooters, handgun shooters, competitive shooters and self-defense advocates – uniformly agree upon is that our laws regulating unloaded transportation of firearms in a motor vehicle have been twisted well beyond the understanding of the...

Ohio House concurs with Senate amendments to HB9; Act heads to Gov. Taft

2:58pm Tuesday, December 19, 2006

By Chad D. Baus It's getting tougher and tougher to know what to believe when the Ohio media writes about legislative action in Columbus. On Friday, December 15, the Associated Press put out a wire service report entitled "Public records bill clears Legislature". The story, which was subsequently picked up by several Ohio news outlets, said in part: A bill mandating public-records training for...

Plain Dealer overlooks HB9 in calls for Home Rule-inspired vetos

12:15am Tuesday, December 19, 2006

By Chad D. Baus The Cleveland Plain Dealer editorial page is at it again, writing about legislation we have good reason to believe they've never read. This time, in addition to even more blather about why having one set of rules in the State of Ohio for gun owners is a bad idea, they're whining about legislation which would regulate the use of privacy-invading cameras that are used to find...

Media Access Loophole fix eviscerated in Senate committee

12:10am Friday, December 08, 2006

By Chad D. Baus Since April 2005, this political action committee has been documenting legislative attempts to remove Bob Taft's ridiculous media access loophole, which calls concealed handgun license records private but gives journalists access to the private, personal information of license-holders. The first attempt involved Rep. Bill Seitz, who tabled a proposal to modify House Bill 9, the...

House Speaker, Senate President: WE HAVE THE VOTES TO OVERRIDE

1:20pm Friday, December 01, 2006

By Chad D. Baus Ohio news reports today indicate that the reforms contained in HB347, including statewide preemption of local gun laws, is likely to become law soon with or without Bob Taft's support. The first option to prevent Taft from thwarting the will of the people will be for the General Assembly to override a veto, if it comes. The second option begins in January - that's because voters...

Hey Bob: Even the Cleveland Plain Dealer supports Statewide Preemption

12:15am Friday, December 01, 2006

By Chad D. Baus Using the same tactic he did in an eleventh hour attempt to derail Ohio's concealed carry law, Bob Taft has threatened to veto a gun rights bill over a provision that has been a part of the legislation since the day it was first introduced more than one year ago. The provision Taft suddenly opposes would create statewide preemption, ensuring that firearms laws are uniform...

Concealed handgun bill on way to Governor's desk January 8, 2004 Gongwer News Service COLUMBUS -- A bill allowing Ohioans to carry concealed handguns is heading to Governor Bob Taft's desk following the General Assembly's approval of a compromise allowing greater media access to names of permit holders.
