Mike DeWine. The very name evokes images of Ohio’s Benedict Arnold when it comes to gun rights – a reputation DeWine earned in Congress: ● DeWine sponsored background checks with Chuck Schumer and Joe Lieberman. ● DeWine joined Schumer and Dianne Feinstein to bring back the Clinton gun ban. ● DeWine voted to bankrupt gun manufacturers through liability lawsuits. And now anti-gun Mike DeWine is digging in his heels, REFUSING to go on
Dear Fellow Patriot, They thought the work was over when they got elected. But gun owners didn’t elect a two-third Republican “pro-gun” majority in BOTH chambers of our legislature just to go to Columbus to be empty suits! They’re supposed to FIGHT on behalf of the voters back home, the pro-gun folks like you and me who are sick and tired of watching state after state pass major pro-gun bills
Tuesday morning, at the request of Ohio Gun Owners, Representative Nino Vitale (R-Urbana) attempted to run a major pro-gun amendment to HB142 that would benefit gun owners across the state. If you’ve been watching our emails or seeing our Facebook posts, you already know that in its original form, HB142 was a rock-solid bill that would’ve eliminated Ohio’s notorious “duty to notify” law that requries CHL holders to notify law-enforcement on
“This legislation strikes a reasonable balance and makes the penalties for not notifying an officer you are exercising your rights much more manageable for gun owners.” That’s what one “proponent” of the compromised substitute language in HB 142 said in today’s committee hearing at the Statehouse in Columbus. I nearly gagged. As you know, this afternoon was the House Federalism Committee hearing on substitute language for HB 142. HB 142,
Gun owners, The House Federalism Committee isn’t picking up what gun-owners are laying down. As you know, Ohio Gun Owners members and supporters have been pounding the pavement for Constitutional Carry, nearly passing it through the Federalism committee this spring. And all summer long, we’ve been busy mobilizing more gun owners across the state in preparation a second attempt at passing it through committee this fall. But in addition to

It’s game time. No, I’m not talking about the Buckeyes, who you probably know lost to the Sooners last Saturday. What I’m talking about is the legislative session and passing pro-gun bills like HB201, Representative Hood’s Constitutional Carry bill! As you may remember, gun owners came INCHES away from passing Constitutional Carry through the House Federalism Committee last summer before the politicians vacated Columbus to go on summer break. But
With just a few weeks until the politicians come back for the fall legislative session, the buzz over Constitutional Carry is heating up! Just like we’ve seen with every major gun rights expansion in the last two decades, anti-gunners are tossing around all manner of lies and distortions about the impact of Constitutional Carry law. To prepare you for dealing with anti-gun legislators, Bloomberg-funded activists at the Statehouse, or even
The politicians are on summer break. And if you’ve been a regular reader of our emails or follow us on our Facebook page, you know that the House Federalism Committee did not pass H.B. 201 out of Committee. But H.B. 201, or Constitutional Carry, is very much alive and well! In fact, H.B. 201 is alive until December 31, 2018! However, we aren’t about to sit back on our collective
I wish I had better news to share with you. Hundreds and hundreds of gun owners like you across the state rained call after call and email after email on the Federalism Committee. Seven of the thirteen members of the committee signed on as cosponsors of the bill, H.B. 201. And Constitutional Carry has exploded from a measly four states back in 2010 to now over a dozen!
