The Buckeye Firearms Association has been fighting hard to restore our Second Amendment rights and we have a proven track record of success. In the end of 2006, we saw the first veto override of the Governor in approximately 30 years when we assisted with the passage of HB347. HB347 eliminated Ohio’s idiotic “plain sight” requirement for concealed handgun license (CHL) holders and preempted all of Ohio’s local firearm related ordinances. You can read about HB 347 here and here.

We also helped pass laws that made it easier to introduce new people to hunting (HB296), and helped protect sportsmen’s dollars (HB367). Among many other issues, we are working on protecting our firearms from confiscation during disasters (and finally “legalizing” self-defense by passing a “Stand Your Ground/Castle Doctrine” law, allowing hunters to carry concealed handguns, and much more. In order to be successful, it is going to take a lot of hard work.

Will you help?
