Please watch the video from our Director as he recaps today’s Government Oversight Committee hearing on HB228. As you’ll see, today was Sponsor/Proponent testimony on HB228. Tomorrow evening is opponent/interested party on HB228, starting at 7:00pm, with another committee hearing scheduled for the bill on Wednesday. We will of course be there for all of the committee hearings on this bill. The timing is all still being worked out, but Senator Kris
HB228 is scheduled for sponsor/proponent testimony in the Senate Oversight Committee on Monday morning at 10:00am! Your immediate action is needed to amend it into a SOLID Stand-Your-Ground law! As currently written, House Bill 228 does a few good things like removing the duty to retreat from an attacker and restoring the burden of proof to disprove a self-defense claim back to the prosecution. While good things in and of themselves, they
As many gun owners already know, House Bill 228 is awaiting committee assignment in the Ohio Senate. As written, HB228 does a couple of good things, but it leaves so much on the table when it comes to much needed self-defense reforms in Ohio. It doesn’t provide immunity from prosecution for citizens forced to use a firearm for self-defense, it doesn’t establish a pre-trial immunity hearing so that gun owners
As you know, House Bill 228 is in the Ohio Senate, awaiting committee assignment at any moment. As written, HB228 does a couple of good things, but it leaves so much on the table when it comes to much needed self-defense reforms in Ohio.

As gun owners here in Ohio know, we have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving season. So while the battle for our Second Amendment freedoms continues in the current “Lame Duck Session,” we’d like to make special mention of a few things we’re thankful for! Some of the highlights so far this year include: >>> Defending the pro-gun champions we have in our legislature from being unseated by
Yesterday afternoon HB228 came to the floor of the Ohio House for a vote. I prepared this video for you shortly after the floor action was over. As you know, Ohio Gun Owners worked with friendly gun rights organizations and legislators in the House to bring forward a strengthening amendment to make HB228 a rock-solid Stand-Your-Ground bill. Among many things, it would’ve achieved the hallmark objectives of Stand-Your-Ground law, like criminal
HB228 may come to the House floor as early as this Wednesday during Lame Duck Session, and we need your immediate help to FIX it by amending it into a SOLID Stand-Your-Ground law! As currently written, House Bill 228 is weak and leaves gun owners EXPOSED if they’re ever forced to use a firearm to defend themselves or loved ones. That’s why Ohio Gun Owners has teamed up with Ohioans for Concealed Carry and
It’s time. The 2018 midterm elections are hours away, and there couldn’t be more at stake for us gun owners. Will our next General Assembly be used to simply continue Kasich’s attacks against our freedoms via Red Flags gun confiscation? Or will gun owners gain the momentum they need to pass Stand-Your-Ground law through our General Assembly? And who will occupy the Governor’s Mansion? Is there even a difference between
Nothing mobilizes gun owners faster than taking our message up on TV, radio and the internet. That’s just a reality. And with radical anti-gun candidate Christine Fisher enjoying the support of Bloomberg’s Gun Control groups as they attack staunchly pro-gun candidate Tom Brinkman in the final days of this election cycle, gun owners in Ohio need to stand up! The fact is, Christine Fisher is the most anti-gun candidate running
We’re only days away from the November 6 elections and frankly, it’s “do-or-die” time. Our direct mail, mass email, online ads, radio ads and door-knocking programs are running full tilt but we need your help to keep them going. The fact is, our backs are against the wall.
