Ohio: Pro-Gun Legislation Passes House Committee, Eligible for Floor Vote

Today, the House Insurance Committee passed Senate Bill 58, a bill to prohibit the state from requiring fees or firearms liability insurance as a condition of firearms ownership. Additionally, Senate Bill 148, The Second Amendment Privacy Act, was amended into the bill. This legislation could soon receive a floor vote in the House. Please contact your representative using the take action button below and ask them to support SB 58! 

SB 58 will prohibit the state from requiring fees or firearms liability insurance to possess firearms. Mandating that law-abiding gun owners purchase firearms liability insurance is an unnecessary financial burden that infringes upon a constitutionally protected right. Forcing gun owners to incur additional fees, on top of the already expensive costs of purchasing and maintaining firearms, will only make it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to defend themselves and their families. Furthermore, liability insurance will never cover criminal acts, and those who break the law are already liable through our justice system.

SB 148 will prohibit the use of firearm-specific Merchant Category Codes, which could be used to track firearms purchases and create a registry of lawful gun buyers. This is an important protection for gun owners, protecting private purchase data from abuse by third parties.

Please encourage your friends, family, and other Second Amendment advocates to tell committee members to support SB 58. Please stay tuned to the NRA-ILA website and your inbox for updates as this legislation progresses.
