Ohio citizens want to be able to defend themselves – not just against criminals but also against domestic terrorism. You know – all those lone wolf attacks.
Lawmakers in Ohio approved legislation Friday morning expanding the state’s concealed-weapons law to allow guns in colleges and day care centers and on private aircraft.
The legislation still permits those places to ban guns if they wish. It keeps a ban on concealed weapons in government buildings, including libraries.
The bill now goes to Gov. John Kasich’s desk for his signature.
The Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police and the Ohio Prosecuting Attorneys Association opposed the bill, but the Buckeye State Sheriffs’ Association supported it. Critics argued that the bill may endanger students. Supporters said it could help prevent mass shootings or similar attacks.
