This is the toughest gun law in America

[Ohiogal]

"Each applicant must complete a four-hour gun safety course, get character references from two people, and show up at the local police department for fingerprinting and a one-on-one interview with a specially designated officer. Police must also do some work on their own, searching department records for information that wouldn’t show up on the official background check.

If the police come to believe an applicant is a possible threat to public safety, they can refuse to grant the permit."

5. THIS!!

Permit to purchase is the single most effective tool to reduce gun violence in the box. Statistics prove it beyond a doubt.
