Duty to notify police:

pending before the Senate. House Bill 142 would repeal the law requiring permit holders to instantly notify police officers they have a gun in their vehicle when pulled over. Under the bill, recommended for passage by a 9-2 House committee vote, permit holders would only have to inform an officer they have a gun when asked for their driver’s license.

Armed elected officials:

House Bill 310 would allow elected officials who possess concealed-carry permits to carry them into governmental buildings where they now are banned, such as the Statehouse, county courthouses and city halls.

House Bill 201, a perennial piece of legislation unlikely to pass,

Carry at will:

would let any law-abiding Ohioan over 21 carry a concealed gun without a permit.

The General Assembly late last year passed legislation, which took effect early this year, authorizing permit holders to potentially carry concealed weapons in places where they were previously banned.

Ohio’s 550,000-plus permit holders now can carry their guns on college campuses, day-care centers and unsecured government buildings — if college trustees, municipal councils and/ or county commissioners approve. No public college has approved carrying guns on campus. Another provision forbids employers from permitting employees from storing their guns in vehicles on company parking lots.
