Governor Signs Firearms Law Reform!

Governor Strickland today signed Senate Bill 184. My wife and I attended the signing, and the Governor mentioned the Ohio Rifle and Pistol Association by name as helping in the passage of this very important legislation. The Buckeye Firearms Association and the National Rifle Association worked very hard on this and deserve a tremendous amount of credit. This is a huge victory for all law-abiding citizens of Ohio. Please see this post for details on the bill. The NRA press release on the signing is here. The law becomes effective on September 9, 2008.
