Despite a disastrous increase in gun violence in Ohio, the Legislature continues down the road of making it ever easier to obtain and carry firearms. Senate Bill 215 would allow virtually any adult to carry a concealed firearm with no permit, no training, and no background check. SB 215 is moving toward passage in the next few days.  

New data from the CDC shows that in 2020: Ohio gun homicides increased 47% over 2019 and Ohio's gun violence rate is 10% above the US rate. 

Let your legislators and Gov. DeWine know how you feel about SB 215. The bill is currently before the House Government Oversight Committee. Links to talking/writing points along with contact info for the Committee, other legislators and the Governor are HERE.
