Takes effect in 90 days.
Ohio Governor John Kasich signed H.B. 234 into law Friday:
-Creates reciprocity to recognize concealed handgun permits from other states, much as drivers licenses are recognized.
-Eliminates a provision in the law that equated semi-automatics firearms that could accept magazines with a capacity of more than 30 rounds as automatic weapons.
-States that the Ohio CHL will meet the requirements of the national instant check system. This should allow CHL holders to purchase firearms by presenting their CHL to firearms dealers.
-Allows for training certification by any “national gun advocacy organization” instead of the National Rifle Association specifically.
-Allows for partial training online, but requires two hours of in person range time for CHL permit training.
-Extends Ohio CHL permit expiration to the date of expiration on the permit, instead of upon change of residency.
-Provides that entry into parking lots with a CHL shall not be considered criminal trespass.
-Allows people in the Military, Peace Corps, and Service to America six months grace to renew an Ohio concealed handgun license.
-Creates as “Shall Sign” provision for chief law enforcement officers who process National Firearms Act (NFA) forms.
-Allows people with legal gun mufflers to use them for hunting game.
