SB58 would prohibit firearm liability insurance requirements or fees in the State of Ohio.
The Senate passed SB58 on April 26, 2023, by a vote of 24 to 7. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because not only are ‘no-fault’ government-imposed insurance mandates inherently unconstitutional, but requiring the purchase of “firearm liability insurance,” or the payment of a fee for the possession of a firearm, amounts to a direct violation of the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment, which guarantees that “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” The Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment prevent “any State” from depriving or denying “any person” of their “life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”
