Update Dec 19th:

HE SIGNED IT!!!!

http://www.governor.ohio.gov/Portals/0/12.19.14%20Kasich%20Signs%2040%20Bills.pdf

Ohio HTF ARFCOM sprang into action to get this done at the last minute of the legislative session!!!!  

WE DID IT!!!  CONGRATS EVERYONE!



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Contact Info for Gov Kasich:

Governor John Kasich
Riffe Center, 30th Floor
77 South High Street
Columbus, OH 43215-6117
Phone: (614) 466-3555

http://www.governor.ohio.gov/Contact/ContacttheGovernor.aspx

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE Dec 10th:

Victory!!!

The House concurred, and Sub HB 234 (more than just suppressors, but an amalgamation of pro-gun reforms) has passed the legislature 69-16, and is off to the governor!





Great job to OH ARFCOMers for getting involved to help get it done in such short time!!!

...let's thank our OH Sens/Reps, and let's let Kasich know there are people who want him to sign this bill!!!

The yeas/nays from Senate passage are below, and I'll post up the yeas/nays from the House passage today as soon as I find out!



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT: ONE LAST THING NEEDS TO HAPPEN TO GET THE AMENDED BILL TO KASICH

..Since the bill has changed since it first passed the house, the bill will need to be approved by a concurrence vote of the full OH House!

Time is running out, I looked at the House session calendar and the last day is the 18th!  

We should contact our OH House critter (Lookup your Rep here by zip code: http://www.ohiohouse.gov/) - Ask them to bring Sub HB 234 (sponsored by Grossman, Becker) to a full concurrence vote before the end of the session!!!!!  Important you mention this is the bill about suppressors and other pro-gun reforms, as originally sponsored by Grossman, Becker - I'm just saying this so as to avoid confusion w/ another bill in the OH House numbered "SB 234" (which is the wrong bill to refer them to)...


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE Dec 9th:


Sub HB 234 was amended to include an amalgamation of good things from other pro-gun bills.  The amended bill passed the full Senate today, 24 to 6!

ORIGINAL POST:

...Folks, ...the good news, looks like senators are looking to pass some of these, ..but, time is running out because all bills die at the end of this session (likely this month)...

...So, now's a good time to contact your OH Senate critters, and especially the chairman, Sen. Bill Coley.



http://www.buckeyefirearms.org/only-handful-dates-left-republican-led-senate-still-plotting-future-pro-gun-rights-bills



In his hearing announcement last week, Chairman Coley indicated that possible amendments and votes are expected on the Rep. Cheryl Grossman's (R-Grove City) HB 234 and Sen. Joe Uecker's (R-Loveland) SB 338 in Wednesday's committee hearing.

However, Sen. Joe Uecker told Gongwer that the measures could end up in any House-passed bill that lawmakers think they can fold them into without violating the single subject rule.

Rep. Becker said another potential amendment would essentially incorporate his proposal (HB 191) to delete a provision in state law defining a semi-automatic weapon as an automatic weapon if it can fire more than 31 cartridges without reloading. The bill has received just one hearing in the House Transportation, Public Safety & Homeland Security Committee since being introduced in June 2013. Rep. Grossman said an additional proposed amendment would pertain to the attorney general's ability to sign-off on suppressor applications. Sen. Uecker, meanwhile, said he still intends to offer an amendment to his proposed bill that would allow active duty military members below age 21 to obtain a concealed carry permit in Ohio. -

...I think you mean HB 203...   I've noticed that there has been some reservation about this bill, in the way it could eliminate lawful firearm ownership "eligibility" for persons who've convicted of certain non-violent crimes, amonst the pro-gun community (from what I've seen on some pro-gun forums), ..so i'm wondering if the calculus at this point would be to let it die, and perhaps re-introduce a new one in the next session, ..with language that eases the concerns...

...now, as for the other bills (SB 338, HB 234, and even HB 191), ..I don't think these are really even contested in Columbus, ...so I think we should press to get at least one of these passed before the session ends, ..especially the suppressor bill, HB 234...

I say, let's light some fires (figuratively speaking of course ) under the senate to get on these!!!

The article I read said they were going to take one of these SB338, then take HB234 and HB191 and fold them into SB338 as amendments.  That way, all the hearings and other BS get bypassed.  It would have to go back to the House for concurrence which is a slam dunk.  This should all happen next week.  Before Dec 10.

HB203 is probably dead and it's probably a good thing although it had many good things in it.  Aligning OH with the Fed was not a good idea.  The real crux was that people who had their rights restored under OH law would not be restored under federal law thereby making them instant felons.  And it had to do with lining up definition for domestic violence etc.  In other words in OH the definition of domestic violence was one thing and federally it is another.  OH for instance wouldn't consider a college room mate you got in a drunken head slapping contest in 25 years ago DV.  But under federal law, the way it's defined you would be guilty of DV.  Stuff like that.  While none of that stuff will probably ever affect me, I don't really want the Fed anymore involved in OH than they are already.  

If SB338, HB234 and HB191 get signed into law however they have to do it.  I think it would be a huge leap ahead for gun rights in OH.  I'm tired of getting made fun of for the 31 round BS.

The really meaningful legislation that would have been beneficial will not be passed.  While HB203 was a flawed bill, the stand your ground portion should have been taken by itself and passed.  I have a hard time getting excited over suppressors!  For those who want them, I'm glad it will pass for you but I've never had a need for one.  While I hope I am never involved in a self defense shooting, having stand your ground would be a lot more important than a suppressor on my gun.  

When it comes down to it, the Republicans are just playing games with us and doing just enough to fool us into voting for them in the next election.  As I posted on BFA, the Republicans push off meaningful legislation till the lame duck session and then play games while accomplishing little.  They start legislation and it sits for two years languishing because they always have something more important to get done and then they throw us a bone in the lame duck session.  I'm really getting tired of it!

With the Republicans controlling all of state government I expect a lot more from a group of people who claim they are 2nd Amendment supporters!  I would not expect us to be ranked 41st in best states for conceal carry if the Republicans were such great 2nd Amendment supporters!  I also would not expect them to be too busy over a two year period that they could not pass real meaningful pro-2nd Amendment legislation like Stand Your Ground.

disgusted!

You'd be glad to know, then, that most suppressed hunting rounds will still be loud, just not deafening to the shooter.

Although, I want to take out some squirrels and that would be pretty quiet with the suppressed 22!

I heard one of the amendments was that eliminate the need to have all firearms NOT on your person to be locked up. That to me is anti gun. With that said if you have children in the house that get into everything and nothing is sacred, then maybe those should be locked, but not in a law. IMHO.

Here is the bill, "as passed by the senate":

Sec. 311.43. (A) As used in this section:




(1) "Certification" means the participation and assent of the chief law enforcement officer necessary under federal law for the approval of an application to make or transfer a firearm.




(2) "Chief law enforcement officer" means any official the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives, or any successor agency, identifies by regulation or otherwise as eligible to provide any required certification for the making or transfer of a firearm.




(3) "Concealed handgun license" has the same meaning as in section 2923.11 of the Revised Code.




(B) A resident of this state may submit to the sheriff of the county in which the resident resides or to the sheriff of any county adjacent to the county in which the resident resides any federal form that requires a law enforcement certification by a chief law enforcement officer.




(C) The sheriff shall accept and process the certification in the same manner as an application for a concealed handgun license is processed under section 2923.125 of the Revised Code, including the requirement for a background check, except as follows:




(1) If a resident of this state submits one or more federal forms, the sheriff shall charge the resident no more than the applicable fee described in division (B)(1)(a) of section 2923.125 of the Revised Code, without regard to how many federal forms are submitted at the same time.




(2) If a resident of this state submits one or more federal forms and currently has a concealed handgun license or the sheriff has previously approved a federal form for that resident, the sheriff shall charge the resident no more than the applicable fee described in division (F)(4) of section 2923.125 of the Revised Code, without regard to how many federal forms are submitted at the same time.
That looks like to me like "shall issue"

Here is that change:















(E) "Automatic firearm" means any firearm designed or specially adapted to fire a succession of cartridges with a single function of the trigger.  "Automatic firearm" also means any semi-automatic firearm designed or specially adapted to fire more than thirty-one cartridges without reloading, other than a firearm chambering only .22 caliber short, long, or long-rifle cartridges.

Keep in mind guys that several bills were combined into HB 234.

Btw, Sec. 311.43 appears to lay out shall issue for NFA items if I read it correctly.

...folks, I tried to quickly compile a bulleted list of the amended bills contents - it covers a lot, so I may have missed something:

Sub HB 234 (as passed today by the Senate) - An amalgamation of pro-gun reforms:


  • suppressors when hunting...



  • gets rid of the "31 rounds" = automatic weapon language, to "firearm that fires more than one round per trigger pull"



  • OH citizens can purchase long guns in ANY state (currently only allowed to in five contiguous).



  • reduces state minumum hours required for CHL to 8hrs.



  • OPOTA training will satisfy CHL training req.



  • military training w/in 10yrs will satisfy CHL training req.



  • OH CHL will remain (until dated expiration) valid if licensee moves out of state.



  • aligns eligibility for firearm possession to eligibility for CHL possession.



  • reinforces CHL background check in order to open up reciprocity w/ Texas and other states!



  • sheriffs can use income from CHLs for firearms training.



  • opens up OH CHL to folks living in other states but working in OH



  • cleans up some of the "restoration of rights" to get rid of confusion.
