Vote Likely This Week on Constitutional Carry!
June 15, 2019
"Good News
The great news is that Constitutional Carry is scheduled for a vote in the House Federalism Committee this coming week, possibly on Wednesday.
Bad News
The bad news is that weak-kneed Republican Representative Kyle Koehler (R-Springfield) is running a “fig leaf” amendment to HB178 in order to appease some of the anti-gunners on the committee. Rep Koehler’s Amendment (Amendment AM045X2) mandates that a brochure shall be distributed with every new firearm sale summarizing Ohio law’s on deadly force and dispute resolution. This sounds okay on the face of it, but we need to dig deeper. You see, Ohio doesn’t have a Stand-Your-Ground law, and gun owners still have a “duty to retreat” from a violent killer. So by definition, Kyle Koehler’s amendment would continue urging people to try to retreat from a rapist or killer instead of defending themselves or their families! ..."
The "bad news" isn't really bad news imo as the brochure is just telling you what the law says. Ohio does have a duty to retreat and I think we need to get rid of it, but opposing a brochure about the law isn't going to get rid if Duty to Retreat. IMO it's foolish to oppose Constitutional Carry over a brochure. Let's have the brochure and get Constitutional Carry passed.
