Two Important Pro-Gun Bills Hanging in Jeopardy Ohio’s Lame-Duck Session Teeters

Charlotte, NC --(Ammoland.com)- Before the summer recess, the Ohio Senate passed Senate Bill 239 and Senate Bill 247.

These bills now are now are before the House of Representatives for consideration. However, because the November election which resulted in the change of party power, the Democratic controlled House of Representatives recently announced the possible cancellation of the November lame-duck voting schedule thus killing both pro-gun initiatives.

SB239, sponsored by State Senators Shannon Jones (R-7) and Tim Shaffer (R-31), would eliminate the current confusing standards of carrying a firearm in a motor vehicle. In addition, the proposal would also allow permit holders to carry a firearm for self-defense in a restaurant that serves alcohol, provided they are not consuming, thus eliminating another “victim zone” in Ohio.
