[Fullduplexxx]

COLUMBUS — The Ohio House passed a new bill that would allow Ohioans 21 and older to conceal carry a gun without a concealed carry permit in the state.

The vote was 60-32 in favor of the bill. It now will move to the Ohio Senate for consideration.

1. So now every time a COP stops anyone he better have his

weapon drawn and ready, you reach for your registration you are dead. We will have self appointed vigilantes pulling guns at someone that looks at them wrong. If there is a peaceful demonstration we will have a Rittenhouse want to
be claiming he felt threatened. Someone gets into a political argument with a MAGA he shoots you claiming he thought you were reaching for a gun.

6. Ohio has had concealed carry for about 16 years now

They had it when I left back in 2005. I wasn't very happy about it.

But it seemed to workout ok. The cops didn't go trigger happy like they are in Minnesota and California.

For some reasons cops in some states are more violent than others it seems. I don't know why.

7. Here's a map showing the current status of concealed carry laws in the US:

Green = No permit required

Dark blue = Permit automatically granted (except for prohibited persons)

A couple of dozen other states have already passed laws negating the need for a permit without the police killing everyone who reaches for their registration. I suspect Ohio won’t be any different.

9. I just wonder what the f-- everyone is afraid of. I don't

want to live in a society where you have to carry a gun all the time. The answer to every murder we need more guns.

2. I once lived in a state with sensible conservatives

Now I live in a state I'm ashamed of. I haven't moved.

5. What's the problem with that?

8. Well we can just assume everyone is armed

and if you look at them wrong or say something they
don't like you will be shot. It will make a much more polite society.

13. I'm sure the police are very happy knowing anyone the stop

Could be heavily armed

10. Well it does help poor people most

If you think about it. People with money already could afford the around $3-400 for the permit while people that might be able to pay that for a handgun couldn’t swing both. If they are going to allow people to carry it shouldn’t be just those who can afford it. Also this keeps the ability of whites only type of permitting which at one time was a thing here in Oklahoma. It’s one of the reasons I oppose states that do may issue instead of shall issue looking at you California and NY. In California recently a sheriff was found to allow the issue of a permit if you donated or were friends of his. If it is going to be a right it shouldn’t be one only if you are rich or well connected. Unless you are wanting to limit less well to do or minorities and only allow rich white people. Just my perspective on it I say everyone or none and since none seems to not be realistic, everyone.
