Constitutional Carry Hearing Scheduled in Ohio House Committee
State Rep Ron Maag, Committee Chairman, has scheduled a hearing for HB 152, the Ohio Constitutional Carry legislation, for Wednesday, May 27th, at 2:00 PM, in room 121, at the Ohio State House in Columbus. HB 152 would allow unlicensed concealed carry for Ohio residents. Rep Maag has requested that all interested Ohio residents attend the hearing and provide testimony in support of the bill. Rep Maag has been the sponsor of much of the pro Second Amendment legislation that has recently been adopted in Ohio.

Interesting.
Only for Ohio residents? How are they going to rationalize that in relation to equal protection? Their neighbor, Pennsylvania, allows unlicensed open carry (not concealed) everywhere other than within Philadelphia city limits. That applies to anyone in Pennsylvania -- residents and visitors alike. |

Ohio also allows unlicensed open carry.

Nonetheless, I still don't see how the state can allow unlicensed concealed carry for residents but not allow it for visitors. It's that pesky Constitution again -- specifically, the 14th Amendment. |

How do Vermont and Alaska handle it?

Vermont doesn't require any permit for anyone to carry, open or concealed.
I don't know about Alaska. I know Alaska went to unlicensed concealed carry a few years ago. I assumed that this applied to anyone and everyone within the state, residents and visitors alike. However, I have never done anything to verify that assumption. |

Aquila Blanca,
I haven't seen the text of the proposed bill yet. I would assume that the bill would apply to anyone travelling through or visiting in Ohio too. This hearing is the first one scheduled so far. These are the types of questions that should be raised at the hearing. Dave |

Why not just strike the law that said you can't carry. It's nice that it is so clear. But isn't kind of strange to need laws saying what we CAN do?
