This.
1) We need a minimum specific sign language, size, font, location, etc. Similar to Texas would be helpful, improper font on the sign, it's invalid.
2) We need to be able to hold businesses liable for any injury that may occur from disarming valid CCW license holders. I believe KY passed a law similarly a few years ago, and it has made insurance rates much more interesting for those wishing to still post those signs.

You know, I've advocated for #2 for a while among friends. I'm surprised I forgot about that. And it makes sense - hold business owners accountable for their decisions. And #1 is spot on. I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want that - after all, it helps us comply better with business owners' wishes if things are standardized.
And while we're building out a wish list, I'd also like to see the state consider adding some sort of firearms education curriculum to physical education. Model Eddie the Eagle or something. I'd think that would be a slam-dunk deal that everyone should agree upon, no matter how they feel about firearms. After all, that would help prevent accidental deaths. It would also teach a bit of responsibility and take the "scariness" out of firearms - which is probably why the left would argue against it. (It's harder to call things "evil" when people are educated about them.)
I'd also like to see the prohibition on carry of firearms in public buildings without metal detectors eliminated for CCW holders. If we're trusted enough to have a permission slip to exercise our 2A rights everywhere else, why should we be disarmed when coming to speak to our electeds? And maybe even expand that to the "sanctified" school zones while we're at it, too? (Yeah, I know. Keep dreaming. Do not apply logic to something that liberals get hysterically emotional about.)
I know we've got some pro-2A orgs here in OH. Are any of them organized around lobbying efforts like the VCDL down in VA? I have limited funds and time, but want to lend what support I can where it can do some legislative good.
