Omnibus Amendment for "Castle Doctrine"!

This week is a big week for firearm owners in Ohio. An amendment has been proposed for Ohio Senate Bill 184 that addresses many of the issues we as firearm owners and concealed-carry-license holders have had for some time. There will be another meeting of the House Criminal Justice Committee tomorrow which may include a vote. The Buckeye Firearms Association and the National Rifle Association have been working very hard on this. You can get details on the amendment here. Please contact your State Representative and express your support for this amendment. The most important points are (thanks to Buckeye Firearms for this):

1) Establish a clear standard for what constitutes a "loaded firearm."

2) Provide protection from confiscation of firearms during disasters and other emergencies.

3) Allow lawful carry of firearms in establishments with a class D6 liquor permit (includes Kroger, Wal-Mart, etc.)

4) Make changes to the notification of officers by CHL holders.
