Let me add that the law requires training and licensing for CONCEALED CARRY ONLY.
There is NO LAW that prohibits OPEN CARRY without licensing or the classes.
This description above is VERY MISLEADING in that it makes you THINK something is changing about whether we can carry WITHOUT THE training and that simply is not true.
Right now my UNLICENSED wife can put a gun in a holster on her belt and walk right on out the door and the law doesnt prohibit it.
This law simply would allow her to ALSO carry it concealed like I did WITH the permit.
Do you people realize that youre seroiusly arguing against a NON issue here?
All youre doing is making it so people who DONT want to get the permit will continue to carry OPENLY.

Heres the problem folks.
WE can ALREADY CARRY WITHOUT any permit OR training...its ALWAYS been legal to OPEN carry without either in Ohio.
The ONLY thing this law does in REALITY is make it so people who ALREADY CARRYING OPENLY WITHOUT THE PERMIT OR TRAINING can do so concealed.
You people dont like SEEING our guns, correct?
these OPEN CARRIERS WHO ALREADY CARRY WITHOUT licensing or training will be able to carry the gun concealed where you people DONT HAVE TO LOOK AT THEM if this were to pass.
Let me put it this way.
MY wife WILL BE CARRYING OPENLY because she doesnt have a concealed carry permit.
This means YOU all will be FORCED to see her gun and there isnt anything you can do about it by law.
This law simply makes it so she CAN CARRY CONCEALED instead of OPENLY (again WITHOUT THE LICENSING OR PERMIT).
So I ask...do you REALLY want to SEE her gun...or dont you?
Because I was under the impression that you all DIDNT like seeing them.
So do you cut your nose off to spite your face and force her to carry OPENLY?
Or do you do the adult thing here and accept the fact that she IS GOING TO CARRY OPENLY WITHOUT a permit if you fight this change in the law.
Either way she WILL be carrying..concealed if it passes....or openly if it to doesnt.
Your choice.

A comprehensive training course and license should be mandatory to ensure that knowledge of safe handling procedures is acquired. A background check/license should be required.

We don't let people drive cars when they turn 16 without proper training and instruction because it could be deadly. I favor protocols for acquiring firearms to keep Ohioans safe.

Why is it that people aren't in favor of "gun control?" I mean, weapons aren't even safe to begin with, especially if they aren't handled properly. Whenever I see a discussion about gun control, it usually has a lot of people saying "Why should I have a license to carry my gun in public when I won't do anything stupid with it" when they don't realize that, thanks to the amount of deaths and crimes that involved a weapon, we have to do whatever it takes to keep our area as safe as possible. If anything, I believe that we should make the licensing requirements more strict by adding some sort of psychological testing and/or any other background check to better ensure that the person holding the weapon will not potentially put our safety in jeopardy. If this bill got passed, it would be like Oprah saying "You get a gun, and you get a gun!" It's worse than that one Indiana law that allowed businesses to deny services to those that go against their religion, which is morally wrong in my opinion. Ohio HB147, however, is a stupid and dangerous law that can bring us one step closer to an event similar to what happened in the Purge movies. I really hope this petition gets the attention that it deserves so this never happens. I also hope that Rob Hood, along with any other representatives who support the bill, gets removed from office because this is seriously not okay! We have enough issues that need our attention and I'm sure that we don't want to have another one because of our state representative.

Just what this State needs, the loosening of concealed carry laws. Jobs? no. Better funding for education? No. We gotta' get rid of the entire stinking bunch of morons who thinks that this is good governance.

Why is this even an issue? People don't have any common sense. If you are going to carry a gun you need training. Period.

Expanding the Concealed Carry Gun rights only will expand the number of homicides in Ohio.

Obviously (at least to me) a ridiculous bill. These basic requirements are no real strain on gun owners and are certainly necessary to properly ensure the safety of said gun owners alongside everyone else.

This bill if passed will, without doubt, increase violence in the state of Ohio.
