These last five years have proven how safe CHL holders can be, and numerous lives have been saved when victims of violent criminal attacks were able to effectively fight back and prevail. Since that day, numerous improvements have been made to Ohio's gun laws, and we still have a long way to go. But HB12 started it all, which makes it special to all pro-gun activists in Ohio.
