Restaurant Carry Passes the Senate!

After months of waiting Ohioans for Concealed Carry in conjunction with the Buckeye Firearms Association and National Rifle Association achieved a small victory in the battle for Ohio Restaurant Carry. The Senate passed SB 239 which allows for concealed carry licensees to carry concealed firearms into liquor establishments as long as they are not consuming alcohol. The bill also brings with it additional provisions which allow a licensee to carry a concealed firearm more readily in a motor vehicle.

As an Ohio Gun Attorney I have worked diligently with Ohioans for Concealed Carry to ensure the interests of Ohio gun owners are made known to our elected officials. Even with aggressive opposition to this legislation gun owners have united and made their voices heard. As a Columbus Gun Lawyer it is always an honor to represent citizens who understand the necessity of preserving our 2nd Amendment rights.

Additionally, the Senate also passed SB 247 which brings state law into line with federal law on restoration of rights for gun owners.

Both of these bills are essential to alleviating the confusion that exists within the Ohio Weapons Control Act and brings state law not only in line with federal law but also with the majority of other states. The bills now head over to the Ohio House of Representatives for their approval.
