Proposed legislation would expand concealed weapons in Ohio
The Associated Press reports:
Concealed weapons would be permitted in places such as colleges and day cares and on private aircraft, under legislation approved by an Ohio House committee Wednesday.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Ron Maag, a Republican from Lebanon, still permits those places to ban guns if they want. An updated version of the bill removed houses of worships from the list of places where the weapons would be allowed.
The bill only applies to people allowed to carry concealed weapons under law, Maag said in testimony earlier this year.
“It is meant to facilitate lawful gun ownership so that citizens are able to protect themselves and their family from crime,” Maag said.
