HB450 (Armed Services 18-21 gun rights restoration) scheduled for sponsor testimony in Senate committee


The Senate Judiciary on Criminal Justice Committee, chaired by Sen. Tim Grendell (R-18), will hear proponent testimony on Rep. Bruce Goodwin's HB450, legislation that would restore gun rights to members of the armed services or the Ohio National Guard who are between the ages of 18 and 21, on Wednesday, November 19 at 10:00 a.m. in the Senate Building's North Hearing Room.

The Ohio House of Representatives passed HB450 on May 22 with a strong bi-partisan 90-3 vote.

“This is important legislation,” said Buckeye Firearms Association Chairman Jim Irvine. “We are talking about men and women who volunteered to lay their life on the line for their country and their fellow man. We trust them with the full might of the U.S. military. Surely we can trust them with a handgun when they return home from duty.”

This would apply to everyone 18-21 RIGHT?

It seems to me that it would make a special class of people who are able to own/buy firearms at 18yo.

That's true but it's a way to get our foot in the door for everyone. Also if it helps our service people I'm for it. Plus BFA has some other tricks up our sleeves.
