Recently Ohio Senators Jones and Schaeffer introduced Senate Bill 239 which would substantially improve Ohio's concealed carry laws. Senate Bill 239 permits a concealed carry licensee to possess a firearm on premises that have class D liquor permits as long as they are not consuming alcohol or are intoxicated. This law would bring Ohio into line with a majority of other states that recognize concealed carry. The bill would also lessen restrictions on improperly handling firearms in a motor vehicle as applied to concealed carry laws.
Local gun rights organizations and the NRA have been working diligently on seeking this change in the law for some time. The necessity for law abiding Ohioans to be able to protect themselves and their loved ones in locations that have class D liquor permits is an important one and one that gun owners in the state have anticipated for a long time. Check back for further updates on the bill's progression.

Firearm Law CLE a Great Success!
On February 17, 2010 the Columbus Bar Association hosted "Shots Fired: Firearms Law" continuing legal education course at their offices in downtown Columbus, Ohio. The turnout was great with more participants attending than anticipated given the recent blizzard like conditions.
All of the speakers performed exceptionally. Mr. Fulkerson led the way with an hour seminar on the Ohio Weapons Control Act followed by Mr. John Litle who brought his experience as a Franklin County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney to the event. After a mid session break attorney Derek DeBrosse spoke extensively about the Federal Gun Control Act and some pitfalls that attorneys need to be careful of when representing their clients. The day was concluded with a stellar performance by seasoned firearms attorney Michael Moran who spoke on advising the gun client.
As a Ohio gun lawyer I regularly offer firearms seminars to groups of concerned citizens, FFL dealers, businesses, and any other groups interested in the subject. Please contact my office for more information.
