Correction: The hearing is Wednesday at 9:00am, not Tuesday. Representative Jim Aslanides' HB347 is scheduled for a possible vote in the Senate Judiciary/Criminal Justice Committee where it has languished since before the summer recess. Ohioans For Concealed Carry strongly urges everyone who wants to see this legislation pass to pick up the phone and call their Ohio Senators. To find contact information for your Senator, click here and fill out the gray box with your postal address information. Be sure to tell your Senators: 1. No more new felony charges! 2. Keep the car carry fixes in HB347! 3. Keep the statewide preemption in HB347! 4. Override any veto Governor Taft may threaten! This is our first opportunity to fix the absurd obligation to carry a firearm "in plain sight" while driving a vehicle. We need your help to make sure that this bill passes in the few weeks of session left before the end of the year. Passing statewide preemption will bring Ohio into the majority along with 44 other states where gun laws are consistent statewide. This is a long overdue change that Ohio should have adopted many years ago. Please do not sit on the sidelines. Call your Senators today and urge them to pass a clean reform bill! |
