Ohio’s new law allowing adults to carry concealed firearms without training classes or background checks goes into effect June 12 – marking a major change to gun policy in the Buckeye state.
Gun rights groups have pushed for a permitless carry law for more than 20 years.
More: Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed permitless carry. Why his gun record leaves him open to attack.
Here’s a look at other major changes to Ohio’s gun laws over the years:
1859: Ohio bans carrying concealed weapons.
2004: Ohio enacts its first concealed carry weapons permitting system.
2006: Lawmakers expand the CCW program and preempt local jurisdictions from having their own firearms laws.
2008: Ohio expands the right to use deadly force to defend a home or vehicle. The NRA praises it as the most sweeping gun rights bill adopted in any state in 10 years.
2011: Ohio allows CCW permit holders to carry guns into bars, restaurants, shopping malls, museums and other places.
2012: Ohio allows gun owners to keep firearms in the vehicles in parking facilities.
2014: Ohio reduces CCW required training hours to eight from 12 and expands reciprocity of CCW permits with other states. It eliminates semi-automatic weapons that fire 31 or more cartridges without re-loading from the list of highly regulated dangerous ordnances.
2016: Ohio allows CCW permit holders to carry guns on college campuses, in day care centers, in parts of airports and other places. It bans property owners from barring CCW permit holders from keeping their firearms in their vehicles.
2018: Ohio changes the self-defense law to shift the burden of proof to the prosecution, instead of the accused. It aligned Ohio law with laws in 49 other states.
2019: Following a mass shooting in Dayton, Gov. Mike DeWine advocates a 17-point plan for gun restrictions and increased mental health services.
2021: DeWine signs a “Stand Your Ground” bill into law, allowing Ohioans to use deadly force in self-defense in public places without first trying to retreat.
2022: DeWine signs a bill to eliminate the need for Ohioans to take an eight hour training course and have a background check to obtain a permit to carry a concealed weapon.
