There were three senators who did not vote -- Frank LaRose (R) and two Democrats. If we can persuade Senator LaRose to vote Yes, we would have the veto override. Do any of you live in his district (mainly Wayne County)?

LaRose is committed to an override vote
He had to leave before the vote that yesterday

All the more reason Kasich might just sign it and really stick it to the 2A crowd. SYG is gone, cops get more privileges (private property rights are sacrosanct, except when they're not), straw purchases are illegal at the state level, AND an untold number of previously law-abiding gun loving Ohioans will be guilty of a fifth degree felony in just 90 short days.
Reading though the links I'm not making the connection. Is this the housing piece?

If I had to guess he’s referring to all the Shockwave/Tac-14 owners who will now be in possession of a “dangerous ordnance” in violation of 2923.17.

It is sad that the best we can hope for is some minor little tweak every two years- in spite of all the promises and comprehensive proposals. In spite of controlling the House, Senate, and Governors office.
Yet in a couple months, it will all start over again- great new bills will be introduced, only to languish for two years, and once again we will be excited to kick that ball. Once again, they will screw us.

I believe under current law they already were - but if this becomes law there will be no doubt.

All language concerning duty to retreat
Minor misdemeanors for victimless crimes that can only be committed by CHL holders
SBRs
What else?
I want to write to somebody
The version I read from the BFA’s website still has the promptly notification in there, it only removed the 2nd form of ID. The more I read this the more {inappropriate language} I get. The Shockwave thing had to be an EDITING error. It’s under K(7) but should have been added under L(7) instead if you look at it and use common sense. Some staffer needs fired.

Yep, looks like those sections are really similar and right back to back. Obviously cut/paste is not how you write bills.
Just like a few years ago on the red light cameras where they made it legal to run red lights until they got the emergency fix in place. With this still having 90 days to become law they can likely get a technical fix in place before it is effective. And God help the ones who would vote against the fix as they would simply be voting to outlaw a large segment of existing firearms.

How exactly does a "technical fix" work? If the bill as passed was what they voted on and not a clerical error after the fact, it will take a new bill to be submitted, committee hearings in both the house and senate, signed into law, etc, right?

Well no, not really - the bill as passed keeps the status quo. Shockwaves and similar are considered Dangerous Ordnance under current law and require a Dangerous Ordnance License to be legally possessed, all this bill does is make it perfectly clear that is the case.

The problem is that BFA and others are now saying the Shockwave is legal in Ohio. Those who listen could be in for some sudden introduction to the "justice" system.

Maybe they've said that in the past, IDK, but here is what they are currently saying.
So there you have it. According to our legal analysis, the Shockwave 590 is banned in Ohio. It is NOT legal. We don't like it any more than you do. And of course, this ban won't stop any crimes or make anyone safer. But for the moment, that's the way it is.

Good, because they posted just the opposite on their website right after 228 passed the Senate and that was while the problem was already being discussed here.

That quote from the BFA is from 2017. I don’t know anyone at the BFA, but has someone pointed out the K(7) “screw up” yet?
EDIT: Juat saw on their FB page they are aware taking steps to fix it with the LSC.
