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.
