On March 12, 2026, Creech returned the Ohio Gun Owners candidate survey. Question 3 asked: "If elected, would you support the Ohio Freedom to Carry Act (HB495) that strengthens Ohio's Constitutional Carry law…" Creech's written answer: Co-Sponsor.
Creech promised to support the Freedom to Carry Act, then voted against it.
The goal of the Freedom to Carry Act was simple: let law-abiding Ohioans carry the legal firearm they choose, not just a handgun. Under it, Ohio's concealed handgun license would have become a concealed weapons license, and anyone allowed to carry concealed, with or without a license, could carry any gun Ohio and federal law allow them to have, starting at age 18 instead of 21. And it would have let you keep a loaded firearm, including a rifle or shotgun, in your vehicle, and taken suppressors and short barreled rifles and shotguns off Ohio's dangerous ordnance list.
On June 10, 2026, Creech voted against the Freedom to Carry Act (amendment 3085 to House Bill 667). It went down 75 to 21. (Ohio House Journal, June 10, 2026, page 2236.)
