OFCC media statement on concealed carry reform discussions

Ohioans For Concealed Carry applauds the recent discussion about reforming the current concealed carry law.

As Ohio's primary concealed carry reform advocate, we have been and continue to be in constant contact with Rep. Jim Aslanides, and other lawmakers, to assure that the rights of Ohio's law-abiding gun owners, and our members, are protected.

It is accepted by most law enforcement agencies, attorneys and pro-gun organizations that the open carry provision for motor vehicles is a legal black hole that is in desperate need of change. Other states allow concealed firearms in cars, and have experienced no threat to law enforcement. Ohio's gun owners should be afforded the same right.

We are also working to remove the Media Access Loophole provision, which is currently being abused by newspapers statewide.

Ohioans For Concealed Carry looks forward to continuing our work with Representative Aslanides, and hope that Governor Taft recognizes that the current law is in need of reform.

As always, it is important that citizens continue to write their representatives to let them know their thoughts on these issues.
