This seems to be a big deal. GUN WATCH: Ohio SB392: Huge Weapons Carry and Possession Reform Bill
This was introduced in late March in the Ohio Senate. So it hasn't been passed, and I have no idea if it will.
Much of the bill consists of changing the word "handgun" to deadly weapon. This appears to be because Ohio law, at current, only allows the carry of handguns under a concealed carry permit, and does not allow, or is unclear about other deadly weapons. It makes no sense to be able to carry a handgun, but not a knife, a fist re-enforcer, or nun-chucks.
Seems like a step in the right direction. Maybe more than one step. The minimum age for a concealed carry permit is reduced to 18.
It deals with a bit more than concealed carry. There seems to be some language in the bill that expects to see parts of the National Firearms Act overturned, and set Ohio law so that nothing would need to be changed at the state level.
