I don't think passing this Bill via Conventional Legislation is the goal. The Ohio Gun Banners are trying to get on with copying the Oregon and Washington State Model of using the Ballot Initiative Process.

Theoretically, if I'm riding in a vehicle with someone who is a known felon and I am concealed carrying a handgun on my person [not open carrying and not accessible to the individual prohibited from possessing a firearm, for example contained in a IWB holster], my first question is would this technically result in me 'furnishing' a firearm to a felon? Would it depend on whether or not I was driving or how close in proximity I am to said prohibited person? This scenario assuming that I am concealed carrying lawfully in the first place of course.

My second question, assuming that this scenario does not violate the law in Ohio, is more of a subjective one: would you risk putting yourself in this situation or would you consider it bad judgment to put one's self in this situation?

Basically I carry every day but on occasion I do have to catch a ride to work with a friend of mine [or sometimes a family member] who have felonies on their record, as of now I've been simply not carrying my handgun on such days to avoid the possibility and especially I don't want to get these people in any trouble should we get pulled over, and obviously I don't want to get myself in trouble either.

And of course I know how weird Ohio law used to be around firearms in vehicles, like the whole 'unloaded and ammunition in a separate compartment/not reachable from your seat/etc' thing so I'm wondering if I'm totally off-base to think this kind of situation might end up with me or somebody else in hot water if we get pulled over. Additionally if it is totally legal I'm wondering if it's stupid of me to put myself in a situation where there's a chance, no matter how small, to end up with charges rather than simply leaving my handgun at home on those days. But I also don't want to be caught lackin' should I ever need it.

My assumption is that since the firearm is on my person and inside my waistband [or pocket, shoulder holster, etc] it is totally under my control and cannot be easily accessed by said prohibited person, I should be fine to carry on those days but you know what they say about assumptions, they make an ass out of you and me and nobody likes going to court.

Thanks for reading, hope I didn't make this question too word salad-y.

Looking for a good shop(s) in southwest OH that can do NFA engravings and has great cerakote.

Doing some cleanup and I came across a few boxes of miscellaneous ammo. Is it worth it to try and pawn it? Can’t sell on Facebook anymore.

Hey guys, first time gun owner here I just want to double check if what I understand is right. Base on what I understand, I don't need a concealed carry license to buy and concealed/open carry my gun to places that is not prohibited me to carry a gun in OH. Reason why I asked is because guys in a retail I that I bought the gun from told me that I don't need a CCW to buy and open carry but I do need CCW to concealed carry. Which kinda throwing me off because I'm doing my best to abide with the law and incase I get pulled over in the future l, when the officer ask me, I just wanted to prepare everything to make sure that no one is on edge in that situation.

Note: I'm currently putting my gun ( hand gun) at home rn because of that. And this post is for both riffle and handguns so in the future when I buy a riffle i can look back to this as reference, law might be updated by then but at least in case in a few months and the laws haven't change this post would be useful.

Hey, OHGuns. Where do y'all go to practice drawing your handgun from the holster at the range in central Ohio?

Understandably, many private ranges don't allow this.

For those around Central OH, Buckeye Lake Armory is closed as of today. I was in today and the owner had liquidated the entire shop and was officially out of business as of today.

For those in the know, Buckeye Lake Armory (Dave) was an awesome FFL who provided excellent service and low cost FFL transfers.

You will be missed!

For those interested, he transferred all inventory to Fredericktown Pallet Sales, Owner - Robert Hunt

Anyone attending Ohio Suppressor Fest?

Ohio’s Largest Suppressed ONLY Event!

Hey guys, i turned 18 about a month ago and I want to openly carry a pistol that my dad got me awhile back i just wanted to see if it’s legal to do that or if it’s only rifles. Thanks guys i’d really appreciate it.

My CCW card was issued to me without my signature appearing on it. The issuing sheriff's dept said they were having problems with their printer and it wasn't a big deal. I've been carrying for about a year and was wondering if it is a problem or not. The sheriff's signature is on it. I'm just concerned if I need to produce my card for some reason in an area where constitutional carry would not allow a weapon on my person. The best example I can think of is needing to produce my card within 1000ft of a school, i.e. getting pulled over on the way to dropping off my kid and not lying about having a weapon. Thoughts?

Hi all, I’m looking to see if anyone knows of an FFL holder who does transfers for less than $25 in central Ohio.

I tried using https://www.brownells.com/ffl-locator/ but it’s outdated in pricing and some businesses don’t even do transfers on the locator.

If needed, I know Aumiller in Westerville does $25 transfers if paying by cash.

Hey guy, I’m in the market for a full size RC2 but all the FFLs I have spoken to are out of stock/can’t get their hands on any. Any of you guys know a place where they have one in stock?

Got a handgun that I have some online buyer interest for but want to ship out of state. I know ShipMyGun is an option but does anyone know who will currently ship FFL to FFL in/around the Cleveland area?

I have a guest coming to visit from out of state.

They had a DUI in another state and will be eligible to get their CCW again in that state in a few months.

Ohio on the other hand has a permanent ban on a CCW if you have a DUI.

How does reciprocity work in this situation?

Anyone have recommendations for concealed carry classes around Cincinnati area? More specifically, I live about 40 minutes east of Cincinnati. Trying to get into a class to get my ccw

Hey guys looking to get some Glock frame work, double undercut, stippling ect done near the Cincinnati area to hopefully support a local business that does quality work. Anyone know of anyone in the area?

Title says all. Getting NODs soon and I’ll be able to start practicing for low-light/no light shooting, but I know finding ranges like that can be hard. Thank you in advance for any pointers.

Recently moved to Ohio (Cleveland) and looking for some good ranges that allow more than just your typical static or stationary shooting. Would love to find somewhere to work on moving and shooting around different obstacles. Any suggestions?

Looking to have some work done on my Saiga and wondering if there's any decent Ak smiths around Cbus/Dayton/Cincy.

I’m 18 years of age I have built a Glock (P80) and wondered since New Hampshire allows concealed carry at 18 years of age could I get a non-resident license and carry in Ohio ? I’ll still check with a lawyer here in Ohio and NH and do more research but I want to know what you think

Also I’m not sure if you can get a non-resident CCW under 21 or if you can just carry in NH under 21. Can someone fill in the blanks? Again I will consult a lawyer BUT I still wanna hear what others have to say.
