Ohio is poised to enact significant changes to its firearm laws with the passage of the Right to Carry Reform Bill, which includes 'restaurant carry' provisions. This legislation, awaiting Governor Kasich's signature, will permit individuals with concealed carry permits to carry firearms in bars and restaurants. Opponents' arguments, such as increased violence, are countered by proponents citing successful implementation in other states like Virginia, Arizona, and Tennessee, where no significant problems have arisen. The bill also addresses restoration of firearm rights for reformed individuals and revises vehicle carry laws.
This video discusses the progress of Ohio's Right to Carry Reform Bill, specifically focusing on 'restaurant carry' provisions. Jim Irvine of the Buckeye Firearms Association explains the legislative process, the opposition's arguments, and the importance of citizen engagement. The bill aims to allow licensed concealed carriers to carry firearms in establishments that serve alcohol, a change proponents argue is a logical extension of existing rights and supported by data from other states.
