What I cant figure out is how Vermont has had this forever and yet apparently the rest of us are just too damned dumb and irresponsible....somehow.

To those who claim that we have to have training and licensing maybe you can explain why Vermont is one of the lowest violence states in the Union and yet since at least the early 1900's has had freedom to carry at will just about everywhere without permits OR training and doesnt seem to have ANY issue with permitless carry.

Do Ohioans really have IQs lower than residents of Vermont?
Isnt it ironic that the anti gun agenda response to defenseless people being murdered is to try to make them even more defenseless...

Hmmm, I was just looking at some presidential voting history there and found something interesting. Ohio generally flips every 8 years (2 election cycles) for a democrat or republican president. Prior to 1992, Vermont had always been republican every election except one year. Since 1992, they have voted democrat and mostly by a landslide.

So, not sure if that makes them smarter or dumber than us.

So HB 152 gives us permit-less concealed carry of non-full-auto firearms except in a vehicle. You can still only carry a handgun in a vehicle, so I don't know how many people will take advantage of concealing a rifle or shotgun while out walking. Those are the things I would already open carry.

This bill introduces a new "restricted firearm" definition that expands beyond just a 'dangerous ordnance' and again links us to federal laws. We don't need a new definition adding more confusion to the ORC, let alone giving away state powers.

The bill also defers to the federal list of prohibited persons, giving the federal government a quick way to eliminate concealed carry for Ohioans.

Permit-less carry is a good idea but this bill isn't the way to get there.

I was for it before I was against it. :oops:

Not sure I understand the concern over linking to Federal laws. Can you give me an example of someone who is prohibited from possessing a firearm under Federal law, yet would be allowed to posses a firearm in Ohio under Ohio law?

Technically, you are correct, there is no such situation. If you're a federally prohibited possessor there is no legal exemption that your conduct would be lawful under state law. The argument I've heard made, and which I have mixed feelings over comes down to one of states' rights and enforcement. Do we want local (i.e. non federal) law enforcement to be allowed, and perhaps obligated, to enforce a federal prohibition? Or should we require that if the feds want to have their prohibitions they must provide the manpower to do so?

Even that ideal isn't as clear cut as it used to be with many local LE having federal deputization or a dozen feds on their speed dial.

There's also the issue of interpretation. It would be no different than saying if you kill someone in Kentucky, but live in Ohio, your case should be heard by an Ohio judge. Would you really want an Ohio judge interpreting a law that wasn't written by people of the same state? I've also heard that federal courts haven't agreed on their interpretation of federal law. So how could we expect 88 counties in Ohio to agree on it?

In theory, that sounds impressive. In reality, if it cannot be prosecuted under Ohio law, there is a very low likelihood that it will be prosecuted at all. And there will be a lot more of those cases if they can be scraped off on local law enforcement, prosecutors, and courts.

Vermont just never enacted any gun laws, outside of hunting regulations and those mandated by the Feds. That goes back to before the USA exsisted and before the Vermont Republic joined the United States in 1791. Vermont allows all NFA firearms, but not suppressors (which seems weird ). Recently, antis got a mental health gun restriction bill passed, and tried for universal background checks. The (D) governor has not signed the mental health bill, yet, and may not. Burlington, Rutland, and Bennington look a lot more like Aspen or Portland with all the (liberal) urban boomers and hipsters moving in.
C'mon! We're all going to die, die standing up!
