Lame Duck Session - Proposed legislation

[diebelalice]

Dear friends,

At our UUJO Justice Assembly a few weeks ago, we were asked to pay
attention to legislation that could pass during the lame duck session of
the Ohio legislature. One such piece of legislation is HB 48. Here is some
information for your consideration and action:

*URGENT! Proposed Gun Legislation: Action in the Lame Duck Session of the
Ohio House*

Proponents of HB 48 will be heard on Tuesday in the OH Senate and Opponents
will be heard on Wednesday. *There may be a vote as early
as Wednesday afternoon.* This bill passed the OH House without giving a
chance for opponents to speak on the 3rd and final hearing.

Here is a summary of the bill, taken from the preamble:

To amend sections 311.42, 2923.12, 2923.122, and 2923.126 of the Revised
Code to *modify the prohibition against carrying a concealed handgun onto
institutions of higher education, day-care facilities, aircraft, certain
government facilities, public areas of airport terminals and police
stations, and school safety zones* and to allow a sheriff to use concealed
handgun license fee revenue to purchase ammunition and firearms.

Please go to this website and plug in your zip code to find your Ohio
Senator to call, it is very easy. Once the name comes up, you just click
and you will get the information you need:   http://ohiosenate.gov/index.
If you can back  up your call with a short email to both their
representative and the Majority Leader, that would also help.


Also, please call the OH Senate Majority Leader:

Ohio Senate Majority Leader
