BREAKING: @GovMikeDeWine has signed the permitless concealed carry bill into law.

Ohioans will no longer need permits, training or background checks to carry a concealed weapon.

1. Fuck you, DeWine! You miserable fucker. Now the state of far less safe. FUCK THE NRA.

[dlk]

2. Apparently, not enough Ohioans are dying from gun violence...

The insanity continues.

3. After the mass shooting in Dayton in 2019

Nine people killed and 17 wounded - DeWine veritably pleaded with the state legislature to pass at least SOME kind of reasonable gun control measures.

What an utter disappointment this is. Mikey wimped out once again.

12. I remember the chants of "Do something!"

Not what we had in mind, De Wiener....

[Diamond_Dog]

24. Oh, yes. I remember that.

And I hope the voters in Ohio do, too. But I won’t hold out much hope. Timken ads already on the air proclaim right out she is PRO GUN! I realize she’s not running against Mikey but hers is the typical Rethug mindset. Pro life and pro gun, in the same sentence.

[Maeve]

25. Political ads keep me off broadcast tv

I see them when I visit my mom and they wreck my blood pressure as they try to out-tRump tRump

4. Guns, guns, everywhere And still not enough guns and death apparently.

Unbelievable.

5. Following the path of Vermont

[Celerity]

18. Vermont is the only state where this has always been the case, since it became a state in 1791.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_Vermont

The open or concealed carry of firearms is generally unregulated. The state's rural character, along with its strong hunting and outdoor sports traditions, have contributed to the state's historically permissive gun policies. Gun dealers are required to keep a record of all handgun sales.

State law preempts local governments from regulating the possession, ownership, transfer, carrying, registration or licensing of firearms.

The State neither issues nor requires a permit to carry a weapon on one's person, openly or concealed. This is known in the U.S. as constitutional carry. The phrase "constitutional carry" reflects the view that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution does not abide restrictions on gun rights, including the right to carry or bear arms.

Vermont is the only state where this has always been the case (hence the alternative term Vermont carry). Vermont law does not distinguish between residents and non-residents of the state; both have the same right to carry without prior state approval while in Vermont.

21. And despite lax gun laws, it's a safe state to live in

[onecaliberal]

6. Why can't these garbage people just go the fuck away.

[kimbutgar]

7. These repukes really want to return us to the wild Wild West

until a loved one of theirs is killed in gunfire they won’t change their minds.

That said, Dewine is doing this for his repuke base as a possible presidential contender in 2024.

[PittBlue]

8. Damn him.

[llmart]

9. Ohio is quickly becoming a loser state.

High rates of Covid, opioids and meth abound and now this.

So glad I left that place 40 years ago.

[WarGamer]

10. I'm not particularly anti-gun...

But I AM against untrained "yahoos" walking around "packing" near me or my wife, children or friends.

I like how it is in California. Guns are legal, in your home. But anyone with a gun in public is by definition... a criminal.

[VGNonly]

11. DeWine is

a feckless weathervane.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

13. Get Ready To See Police Shootings In Ohio Go Through The Roof

Cops now have to approach literally EVERYONE as if they're armed. And any sudden or erratic or odd movement, and those cops are going to protect themselves. When will the gun nuts be happy?

[samplegirl]

14. Ohio has so many

murders! Ramp it up DeWine. I hate him!

[kacekwl]

15. I imagine you have to have a fishing license in Ohio

And a drivers license. And a building permit. And a medical degree all to show you know what you are doing but gun ownership is wide open. What could go wrong ?

[FakeNoose]

16. I have visited Ohio many times in my life but ...

... sadly I'll probably never go there again. Oh well!

[spanone]

17. This country has lost it's mind.

[Cognitive_Resonance]

19. Utterly insane. nt

[roamer65]

20. Reminder to pistol toting Ohioans thinking of entering Michigan.

You WILL still need an Ohio CPL with reciprocity to do concealed carry in Michigan.

I am definitely in favor of us doing LOTS of random pullovers to make sure you all are in compliance when in our water-winter wonderland.

Concealed carry without a permit is a FELONY in Michigan and will remain so for a long time. The FELONY will follow you into Ohio and your gun owning days will be done.

Be forewarned.

With dearest love,

27. Good idea to get people harassed and killed

Do you think that would be used only on white men? Could it maybe get used to go after People of Color?

Just driving along breaking no laws a person should be stopped have their papers demanded of them? That sounds familiar of another group. Next time the good idea fairy visits ask how would this go if I was Black or Hispanic.

[roamer65]

28. Carrying a concealed pistol into Michigan without a permit is a FELONY.

5 years in jail and at least a $2500 fine.

[Meowmee]

22. One more place I will never go to again

Not that I had any plans to anyway, lol.

[DFW]

23. Well, that should certainly encourage trade fairs, conventions and tourists....

TO AVOID OHIO.

What a stupid, stupid, STUPID law. What will it take for Ohio to reconsider that one? A few dead per week? A few dead cops? Expecting every citizen with a gun to act sensibly is like expecting the Easter Bunny to join you for Sunday brunch.

[Vinca]

26. Gee, what could possibly go wrong?

[Kingofalldems]

29. Another state I won't be visiting.
