Restore OUR Constitutional Right
A Resolution of the People of Ohio WHEREAS, The Constitution of the State of Ohio grants Ohioans the right to bear arms for their defense and security; and WHEREAS, Law-abiding Ohioans have had their right to bear arms for their defense and security violated by certain laws passed by various Ohio General Assemblies; and WHEREAS, The large majority of Ohioans do not carry handguns for criminal intent but for emergency life and death situations; and WHEREAS, Forbidden carry zones established by Ohio Revised Code do not create gun-free zones but rather create “victim zones” as criminals may carry weapons while law-abiding Ohioans are prevented from rightful self-defense; therefore be it RESOLVED, That the voters who have affixed their signatures to this petition demand their right to bear arms for their defense and security be respected; and be it further RESOLVED, That the same voters demand members of the 129th Ohio General Assembly introduce and in every way support legislation that will restore this right, including: • the repeal of forbidden carry zones as specified in Ohio Revised Code 2923.126 (B), and • the passage of a bill explicitly granting the constitutional right of Ohioans to carry a handgun on all public property where law-abiding Ohioans have the right to be and on all private property unless otherwise prohibited by the private property owner; and be it further RESOLVED, That the same voters are deeply committed to this resolution and will monitor their respective 129th Ohio General Assembly members’ activity pertaining to this resolution, and that said activity, or lack thereof, will be considered strongly when casting future votes for General Assembly candidates.
