Frequently Asked Questions

What are the recent changes to Ohio's gun laws regarding active duty military?

Ohio's HB 48, now SB 199, allows active duty military to carry concealed without a permit. Additionally, those in active duty military can purchase handguns at 18, even if under 21.

How have Ohio's workplace firearm policies changed?

New legislation in Ohio allows employees to store firearms locked in their vehicles at work, even if the employer prohibits guns on their premises. This ensures individuals are not disarmed during their commute.

What is the Buckeye Firearms Association's stance on gun buyback programs?

The Buckeye Firearms Association views gun buyback programs as ineffective and a 'robbery,' as they often collect guns not used in crimes and offer minimal compensation. They advocate for fair market value sales instead.

Why are more people getting concealed carry permits in Ohio?

The increase in concealed carry permits is attributed to a cultural shift viewing firearm ownership as a common-sense safety measure for self-protection, alongside a growing acceptance of gun rights as mainstream.
