HB227 removes the requirement that you must possess a permit when carrying a concealable weapon or firearm. This law ensures the right of a qualifying adult to carry a concealed handgun in the same manner as if the person was a licensee.
The Ohio State House of Representatives passed HB227 on November 17, 202 by a vote of 60 to 32. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the fundamental right of the American people to keep and bear arms is protected by the U.S. Constitution, particularly in the 2nd, 9th, and 10th Amendments, and should not be infringed. The Constitution does not limit where a gun or firearm can or cannot be used.
