On May 11, two pro-gun bills passed in the state House. House Bill 45, an important self-defense reform bill that would simplify where a firearm can be carried, passed by a 56 to 39 vote (roll call vote) and House Bill 54, which would provide individuals a pathway to restore firearm rights, passed by a 78 to 18 vote (roll call vote). These bills are now headed to the state Senate.
Introduced by state Representatives Danny Bubp (R-88) and Terry Johnson (R-89), HB 45 would eliminate the current confusing standards of carrying a firearm in a motor vehicle. In addition, the proposal would also allow permit holders to carry a firearm for self-defense in a restaurant that serves alcohol, provided they are not consuming alcohol, thus eliminating another “victim zone” in
HB 54, introduced by state Representatives Ron Maag (R-35) and Jarrod Martin (R-70), would bring Ohio in compliance with federal law to provide for the restoration of firearm rights for certain individuals.
