Title: Ohio inching closer to Constitutional Carry

https://fox8.com/news/ohio-house-closer-to-passing-bill-getting-rid-of-concealed-carry-permits/

I'm cautiously optimistic this time.  Our governor is the worst flavor of RINO,  but I'd wager he signs this to save his ass during reelection.  Just a gut feeling.

Agreed.  He's going to sign it to go after the conservative end of the Rs, and hope the rest of his term will get enough D votes to carry the election.

IF they get it passed before the election.  The Ohio Legislatures MO is to hold everything until the last week of the term (December) which would allow DeWine to veto without consequence and with no time left to override the veto.

From that article:
Quote
“It is going to promote lawlessness. I think that there will be people who carry weapons concealed for the purpose of being vigilantes. I think that it is not very well thought out for very high populated counties such as Hamilton County,” Ohio's Hamilton County Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey said in an interview. “To vote for people to be able to concealed carry without a license, without any training, without any documentation, it makes it exponentially harder for law enforcement to prevent gun crimes.”
I get the impression that he wants restrictions to prevent normal law abiding citizens from doing the same thing the criminals are already doing.  I am sure his idea of a "vigilante" is anyone who defends themselves. 

Quote
“There are communities across the country that are already really struggling with the crisis of gun violence,” said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, a gun safety organization. “Law enforcement are saying lawmakers are just ignoring their concerns.”
Yes, and instead of addressing that "gun violence" by going after the hard core criminals, you are worrying about what the non-criminals are doing. 

Quote
“Poor decisionmaking happens, and unfortunately, if you’re carrying a weapon and you make a poor decision in a very elevated and high stress situation, the repercussions and ramifications of that are tremendous,” McGuffey said. “People in the general public don’t understand generally how poorly most people shoot.”
Read this as if he is talking about his own cops and it amounts to the same thing.

From that twitchy link.

Quote
(1) The right to self-defense is natural and inalienable. The right to keep and bear arms is a necessary and logical outflow of this, giving "teeth" to the underlying natural right, which on its own is a dead letter.

(2) This is self-evident *within her argument itself.* Slave owners relentlessly sought to DISARM slaves, because armed slaves could better defend their natural rights. Armed slaves would mean the effective end of slavery.

(2)(a) The problem wasn't that slave owners had a right to arms - the recognition of this right predates the African slave trade. The problem was the legal framework that stripped some people of this right so that they could be better oppressed.

(3) The misogyny part is weird. Women have never been exempt from the 2A right. It is, in fact, of greater importance for us, as we generally find ourselves smaller and physically weaker than our attackers. Without arms, our natural right to self-defense is comparatively weaker.

To summarize:

The right to keep and bear arms predates the Founding. It is protected by the Constitution, but not created by it. Its restriction or selective application benefits racists, misogynists, and tyrants. Its full protection benefits the weak, disfavored, and oppressed.

Yep.  1990s me would not believe the direction that carry legislation has gone.

I also would have been convinced that anything like a pistol brace would get you arrested, adjustable-length suppressors would definitely be considered multiple suppressors to the ATF, that I'd never be able to buy new-manufactured standard cap magazines or unneutered semi-auto rifles, and that while a suppressed BB gun would be legal you'd still probably get busted for it.

On the other hand, I'd be appalled by the current cost and availability of ammunition.

State law also allows any resident of Idaho or a current member of the armed forces of the United States to carry a concealed handgun without a license to carry, provided the person is over 18 years old and not disqualified from being issued a license to carry concealed weapons under state law. An amendment to state law that takes effect on July 1, 2020 changes the reference in the above law from “a resident of Idaho” to “any citizen of the United States.”

I haven't read the final version of the Con Carry law yet. I've heard it described as saying basically if you are legally in possession, you can legally carry.  Rumor is these anti gun cops are going to play the angle of  "Absent a permit, I don't know if they are legal.  That's  a prosecutor/court decision.  So hook em up and let the courts sort things out."  Depending on the wording of the statutes, they might be able to get away with this for a while.  Which is why I'll keep my permit (and the reciprocity with other states).

On the down side, he did veto a bill prohibiting trannies from competing on girls teams.  His logic was that there was no evidence that it was a problem in Indiana, so there was no need for a law prohibiting it.

Can non-residents carry concealed without a license?
Yes. While the rules for carrying a concealed handgun remain the same with or without a license, there will be no residency requirement when this law goes into effect. Someone who is otherwise a “qualifying” adult may carry with or without a license whether they reside in Ohio or another state.

Anyway, I notice that Illinois is now almost completely surrounded by the mad deathscape of free states.

I'm thinking we might get one or two more but that's about it.

The Western half of the country is done. CO and NM will never do it, and of course the coast is a lost cause. I think there's still a chance for bordering NE. I'm still surprised at all the Southern states that have blocked it.

The gun culture down here is full of *expletive deleted*ing idiots who believe you should be legally restricted from carrying until the government approves.

Also same idiots who say *expletive deleted*it like “my guns are registered with the police department” or “I have this but it’s not registered”. Stupid f*expletive deleted*tards are unaware that we don’t have registration laws at all.

Depending on when the bill is signed, that's 4 states in as many weeks. And half the states, to boot.

The NRA has really been doing good work here, huh?  =D

Is there blood flowing in  the streets yet? I was promised rivers of blood!

Unfortunately I have NO hope of this passing any time soon in Virginia.

Even though Republicans now control the Virginia house and Gov's office, and has a good chance of grabbing the senate next year if things continue on the current path, most of the Republicans that have been elected are "modern" Republicans... you know, Republicans in name, Democrats in thought and action.

Now that Georgia will have con-carry, does that put additional pressure on their neighbor to the south, and the politicians thereof? Or does it just not work like that?

Desantis has momentum,  he should be demanding the state house put that on his desk.

Florida Governor Calls for Special Session; Supports Constitutional Carry

From what I heard it was one or two Republicans in the Florida legislature that were holding it up.  Hopefully, this adds a little more pressure in an election year.  I think their primaries are in the summer.

The Hill says "about 20" other states have it. They just didn't want to make it sound like "half".  :laugh:

Also, Stacy Abrams, you know - the real governor of Georgia - is trying to make "criminal carry" catch on.

The real criminals already had "criminal carry." Thanks to the 5th Amendment and the Supreme Court, criminals carrying illegally don't even have to admit to it, because they can't be required to make self-incriminating statements.

I don't care if the NRA wants to take some credit for some of this.  They have had some part in this nationally.  However, I think they hurt themselves and the 2nd amendment in the long run by not giving credit to local state affiliate organizations.  Those groups need the support and publicity and they are the front line at the state level, not the NRA.

The NRA hurt us in more ways than that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_of_Columbia_v._Heller

Quote
Attorney Alan Gura, in a 2003 filing, used the term "sham litigation" to describe the NRA's attempts to have Parker (aka Heller) consolidated with its own case challenging the D.C. law. Gura also stated that "the NRA was adamant about not wanting the Supreme Court to hear the case".[55] These concerns were based on NRA lawyers' assessment that the justices at the time the case was filed might reach an unfavorable decision.[56] Cato Institute senior fellow Robert Levy, co-counsel to the Parker plaintiffs, has stated that the Parker plaintiffs "faced repeated attempts by the NRA to derail the litigation."[57] He also stated that "The N.R.A.'s interference in this process set us back and almost killed the case. It was a very acrimonious relationship.

The NRA also initially opposed McDonald. They had their own Chicago case, which wasn't gaining any traction in the courts. When they couldn't get McDonald stopped, they then petitioned the court to allow their lawyers to take some of the time that was allotted to the plaintiff's attorneys to argue their case.
