Good news for us Ohioians, constitutional carry is advancing at a good pace, could be a good thing as long as some don’t abuse it. Ohio will join 21 other states that have enacted it.

Good to hear grasshopper.
 
Pardon my ignorance, but my state has no permit requirement for “open carry”. It does require a permit for concealed….
What is that called, if anything?

(PS- unless you have a concealed carry permit, you still have to have a permit from the Sheriffs office to purchase a pistol. With a CC permit, the Sheriffs endorsement isn’t necessary. The state is looking at eliminating the purchase permit altogether in favor of just a NCIS (?) check - but it’ll take a while. The top Sheriffs association supports this move).

Open carry is different then constitutional carry, Ohio has open carry
 
Two bills have been passed, one in the senate and one in the house. They are dragging their feet to agree on one or the other, if they decide to make even the smallest change it will ball up the works. Each side would have to re-approve the modified bill.
It seems like they are trying to weasel out, so any encouragement from Ohio gunners would be a big help.
 
While my state has adopted Const Carry I have noticed it takes longer to take possession of your purchase than it does with a CCL. Passing the law was a great thing but I will always have a CCL to help speed things up. A carry law that allowed complete reciprocity would be AWESOME.

^ There are a not insignificant number of us who have expressed this same sentiment (faster/"bypass" of background check for firearms purchases as well as for state-to-state reciprocity/travel), and are likely to retain/renew our Ohio-CHL for these purposes even as we fully support Constitutional Carry.

I'm in NH and we have constitutional carry here with no wait period for a purchase unless you get a delay which I get 90% of the time for long guns and even when I was living in Massachusetts this was still the case.

^ I've been pretty lucky and have yet to be delayed. I have a rather unique legal name, and I've also never shied away from putting my SSN on the 4473. Combined with my place-of-birth as another unique variable, I just think that there's no-one of-interest out there that would have caused me to throw a flag. That said, in processing my PIV for work, the more common "alias" first-name that I use does coincide with someone of an actual same legal name in one of my childhood locales, and usually delays processing.

Even so, I really did enjoy being able to shortcut the process locally by simply presenting my valid Ohio-CHL.
 
PA's governor failed to sign the constitutional carry bill that easily passed the house and senate. The bill will be back when he is gone.

Surprisingly i have somewhat of a common name in this area. There are 5 guys with my name just at my local Harley store. So I also always put my SS# on the form. Over my career I have been cleared to work on elevators in more than a few high security government buildings, US Capital, CIA Headquarters for a short escorted 2 week period, a few FBI bldgs, etc. I would guess I've been checked out more than a few times. I would say with the SS# on the form I'm sure I come right up. But the truth be told, they usually get my instant check back before I can finish filling out the form. They know I'm a good guy lol.

I will always keep my PA (resident), Utah & Arizona permits for reciprocity purposes.

I'm looking at adding MN to my CCWs since I have been visiting there a lot the last few years and none of my other states have reciprocity with MN.

It really is a shame that good folks have to take extra steps (and often incur extra expenses) in order to stay within the letter of the law, when those who could care less would just simply ignore those same laws.
 
"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Let your gun, therefore, be the constant companion of your walks." ~Thomas Jefferson, 1785

If all the good men were armed and self defense laws were upheld, everyone could walk the darkest streets whistling zippudee doo dah at midnight.
 
Update 3/2/22, both the Ohio House and Senate passed Senate Bill 215, the constitutional carry bill, it was sent to the governor, if he signs it into law, 90 later it takes effect

BREAKING: Permitless Carry Bill Headed to Governor's Desk | Buckeye Firearms Association

On Wednesday, March 2, 2022, the Ohio House voted 58-36 to pass Senate Bill 215, sponsored by Sen. Terry Johnson. About an hour later, the Senate concurred with a vote of 24-9. This means the bill now moves to the Governor's desk!
