Storm, Ohio HB-234 was sent to the Governor on 12/10/2014 and he has 10 days to sign it or veto it. If you just count working days he will have to sign it into law by Christmas Eve 12/24/2014. I'll be shooting him an email reminder.  ---------- “Nobody can ever take your integrity away from you. Only you can give up your integrity.” H. Norman Schwarzkopf | |||

jcsabolt2, Let's hope he does. It's long overdue. It would be nice to end the year with adding a fifth state to the map. Loyalty Above All Else, Except Honor ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

Too old to grow up now |
Ohio has sent a bill to the Governor that will allow hunting in Ohio with suppressors, and will reduce the training for CHL from 12 hours as it is now to 8 hours, keeping the 2 hours range time. This combined bill will also recognize more states CCW or CHL licenses. Hopefully Indiana, since they honor ours. http://shar.es/13JWkU The Ohio Senate has passed amended substitute House Bill 234 by a 24 - 6 vote. The bill will now head back to the House for a concurrence vote and on to the Governor. NO SIGnature | |||

OHIO HB-234 SIGNED INTO LAW NRA-ILA December 19, 2014 Today at a public signing ceremony, Governor John Kasich (R) signed into law House Bill 234, comprehensive pro-gun reform legislation. HB 234 will take effect in ninety days. While originally a bill allowing for the use of suppressors while hunting, the Senate Civil Justice Committee added many other pro-gun provisions to HB 234. HB 234 then passed in the Ohio Senate by a 24 to 6 vote on December 9, and was concurred by the state House of Representatives by a 72 to 21 vote on December 10. HB 234 makes a number of positive changes to Ohio’s firearm laws. HB 234, as signed into law: Improves the concealed handgun license process by (1) reducing the number of training hours required from 12 to 8 hours, (2) eliminating minimum length-of-residency requirements, (3) allowing non-residents who work in Ohio to apply for a CHL in the county or adjacent county in which they work, and (4) makes special provisions for members of the military who have been honorably discharged or retired, extending their competency certification from six years to ten years after honorable discharge or retirement. Expands concealed carry reciprocity to visitors and persons temporarily in Ohio who have valid out-of-state licenses, regardless of whether the license-issuing state has entered into a reciprocity agreement with Ohio. Repeals the prohibition on Ohio citizens buying and/or selling long guns or ammunition from only the five contiguous states of Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Citizens of Ohio can now purchase and/or sell rifles and shotguns in any state as long as the firearm laws in both states are obeyed. Includes a “shall certify” provision which requires a chief law enforcement officer (CLEO) to sign off on an application to transfer an item regulated by the National Firearms Act, once the application procedure and requirements are met. This provision eliminates personal bias towards NFA-related items, requiring CLEOs to sign off and process the application in the same way they do a concealed handgun license. Allows for the use of firearm sound suppressors while hunting in the Buckeye State. Brings Ohio’s definition of “automatic firearm” in line with the federal definition, limiting it to only any firearm designed or adapted to fire a succession of cartridges with a single function of the trigger. Your NRA thanks you for your active involvement in the passage and enactment of HB 234, as well as the state legislators who voted for its passage. We also thank Governor Kasich for signing this important pro-gun reform into law. The bill will go on to the Secretary of State and once he certifies the bill it will take effect in 90 days...so about the end of March 2015. ---------- “Nobody can ever take your integrity away from you.

*** Update - Ohio *** A hard date for the Ohio law to go into effect has been released, which is March 19, 2015. Here's the new map reflecting Ohio's status. As best as I've been able to ascertain the law is unrestricted w.r.t. animals and lands. I will revise the map, should I find out otherwise.

Now all we need is to get Michigan on board allow the use suppressors for hunting. The NRC still thinks that it will increase poaching. Yet they allow the use of crossbows for hunting, the perfect poaching tool. I once knew a person who admitted to taking deer at night with a crossbow back in the eighty's. He's no longer with us. Died long ago. | |||

I agree. Looking at the map, Michigan is low hanging fruit (suppressors are already legal there). The other suppressor legal states that don't allow hunting are all located in the NE and of them, I would think only Maine and New Hampshire would have any possibility of allowing suppressed hunting. Outside of those states, I could see Iowa or Minnesota being the next targets. Of course there would be two humps to overcome in these states, suppressor legality and suppressed hunting.
