The Ohio Republican legislature overhauls gun laws

And not in the way DeWine has asked for.

This is what we get when we have a GOP dominated State House, I guess ..... sigh.....

COLUMBUS – A proposed major overhaul to Ohio gun laws would allow concealed guns in more places, 18-year-olds to buy firearms and people to "stand their ground" when firing in self-defense.

Dozens of changes could soon be added to House Bill 248. A 33-page analysis of those amendments, obtained by The Enquirer, reveals dozens of ways lawmakers hope to expand access to guns in Ohio.

"The combination of all of these things is really frightening because it’s almost an obsession with the access to guns," said Toby Hoover, founder of the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence.

The proposals stand in stark contrast to Republican Gov. Mike DeWine's pleas to address gun violence. DeWine has repeatedly asked lawmakers to increase penalties for people who provide guns to others prohibited from having them.
