15 states.
According to Guns & Ammo Magazine, there are only 15 states in the country right now that are WORSE for gun owners than Ohio.
Every few months – as more and more states reform their gun laws by passing pro-gun legislation – Ohio is getting left further and further behind.
I don’t know about you, but I think this is flat-out UNACCEPTABLE.
That’s why I was so happy to learn about Ohio Gun Owners’ incredible plan to lead the fight for Constitutional Carry in 2017.
Constitutional Carry – which simply codifies what the Founding Fathers intended when they wrote that our “right to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed” – is on the march all over the country.
I’m committed to making Constitutional Carry a reality in Ohio.
But I know it’s going to take a massive outpouring of support from pro-gun patriots like you.
So please read the email below and make sure you sign your citizen petition in support for Constitutional Carry!
— Ron
The violent criminal doesn’t think twice before tucking a loaded handgun in his pants before hitting the streets in search of a new target . . .
His next victim — an innocent, hardworking and law-abiding citizen — knows she’s in real danger.
She knows the revolver she keeps in her dresser could save her life if she could just take it with her.
But she hasn’t yet filed the paperwork for a Concealed Carry Permit — or had the time off of work to get “officially” trained.
Or had the money to pay the expensive fees mandated by our Ohio state government before they’ll “allow” her to exercise her Second Amendment rights to both keep AND bear arms.
So she obeys the law and leaves her pistol at home. And she loses her life as a result.
I hate to be this blunt. But gun-grabbers know good and well criminals don’t ask for permission to carry firearms.
Their overbearing and UNCONSTITUTIONAL “regulations” and “requirements” on carrying a concealed weapon are meant to do nothing more than undermine the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens just like YOU.
I think it’s high-time you and I said, “enough is enough!”
If you agree, please click and submit the petition below to your State Representative and Senator IMMEDIATELY.
As you’ll see, this petition insists your State Representative and Senator publicly support and seek roll-call votes on the Ohio Constitutional Carry Bill.
If passed, the Ohio Constitutional Carry Bill would restore the right of every law-abiding Ohio citizen to carry a firearm to protect themselves and their families — WITHOUT going through a bunch of bureaucratic rigmarole!
In short, if you’re legally able to own a firearm, you’re legally able to carry it. Period.
This is the way it’s been done in Vermont, Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona and Wyoming for some time.
And just in the past two years, Constitutional Carry has passed in Kansas, Maine, Idaho, Mississippi, Missouri and West Virginia.
In Maine, it passed with a Democrat-controlled State House. In Missouri and West Virginia, it passed with a Democrat Governor.
So why can’t it happen here with massive GOP control of Columbus?
The answer is, it CAN — with your action today.
You see, despite the hand-wringing of nanny-staters like BILLIONAIRE anti-gun activist Michael Bloomberg, none of the states with Constitutional Carry are plagued with vigilante justice or Old West style shootouts.
That should be no surprise. Just the threat of running into someone who is armed is enough to convince many career criminals to start thinking about “early retirement.”
That’s a big reason why statistic after statistic proves that guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens means less crime.
In fact, according to a recent FBI “Crime in the United States” report, gun sales have hit record highs in recent years while violent crime has dropped dramatically!
And a study commissioned by the Obama White House — which was supposed to help generate momentum for gun control — found that firearms are used in defensive cases up to three million times per year!
That study also found that those who have a firearm are less likely to be injured in a criminal attack than those who depend on a thug’s good will.
Yet, there are plenty of politicians in BOTH parties who talk a good game on the campaign trail . . .
But as soon as the general assembly goes back into session, they work to stop pro-gun bills from even coming up for a vote.
Sometimes, they even work with gun-grabbers like Michael Bloomberg to pass new anti-gun schemes!
That’s why Ohio Gun Owners is launching an all-out campaign for Constitutional Carry.
You see, nothing in Columbus moves unless it’s pushed.
With the majorities in Columbus today, your pressure is the final ingredient we need to make Constitutional Carry a reality.
That’s why I’m counting on your action to help Ohio Gun Owners create a tidal wave of grassroots pressure to force votes in BOTH houses of the General Assembly on Constitutional Carry.
Even if we don’t get the votes to pass it this year, it will still be a MAJOR step forward for our gun rights.
After all, the American people have seen firsthand the power of the gun issue in November 2016 with the earth-shattering election results still being felt nationwide.
But in reality, Hillary Clinton’s defeat shouldn’t have been a surprise.
Time and again, when anti-gun politicians are exposed on Second Amendment issues, they go down to defeat at the ballot box.
So I’m confident those politicians who choose to vote against us — the “wolves in sheep’s clothing” in Columbus — will find there’s a major political price to be paid.
That’s why just forcing a vote puts you and me in a win/win situation.
Today, with the 2017 session of the Ohio State Legislature rapidly approaching, I’m really counting on your help.
My goal is to generate at least 150,000 petitions from Second Amendment supporters insisting that the Ohio State Legislature takes action on Constitutional Carry.
That means we’ll have to pull out all the stops with:
- A massive statewide mail and email program designed to generate pressure on politicians;
- A statewide media tour where Ohio Gun Owners will work talk radio and local TV explaining why Constitutional Carry is so important;
- A state-of-the-art Internet and social media campaign exposing any politician who dares to stand in our way;
- Hard-hitting Internet, radio and newspaper ads calling out anti-gun politicians who oppose Constitutional Carry.
Trust me. This will get the politicians in Columbus to listen. But Ohio Gun Owners won’t be able to send this message without you.
So in addition to signing your petition, won’t you please agree to your most generous contribution to Ohio Gun Owners TODAY?
I don’t know what you can afford.
Perhaps you could afford $500, $250 or $100? Or, if that’s too much, would you agree to $50 or $25?
All the gun-grabbers’ regulations and bureaucratic red tape on carrying a concealed firearm do absolutely NOTHING to keep guns out of the hands of criminals.
All they do is create more innocent victims by stopping law-abiding citizens from legally carrying firearms to protect themselves and their families.
It’s up to you and me to wipe these infringements on our Second Amendment rights off the books here in Ohio.
If you agree, please click and submit your petition IMMEDIATELY along with your most generous contribution of $500, $250, $100, $50 or $25 TODAY!
For Freedom,
