What's next for gun rights in Ohio?

  What's next for gun rights in Ohio? Dear Friend, We got permitless concealed carry passed the legislature and  signed by the Governor . This may be the most significant advance in Second Amendment rights in Ohio history. You can  read about the changes this will bring about  starting June 13. But nine months remain in the current legislative session. So what else would we like to achieve? Here are two high priority policy changes we continue to work on: HB 325  and  SB 185  are companion bills to  prevent state and local governments from infringing on Second Amendment rights during declared emergencies. This is the most comprehensive legislation of its kind in America. Each bill has already passed its originating chamber. HB 99  is a bill to expressly exempt persons authorized to go armed within a school safety zone from a requirement to complete extensive peace officer basic training. We believe local school boards should have the power to craft their own security plans, includi

PSA: Beware of Online Dealer Scams

We have said it before, and we will say it again a bit louder for the folks in the back. For the safety and protection of your personal and financial information, please be aware of fraudulent online firearms dealers. This problem grows more rampant by the day, so think twice before clicking that checkout button. If you find yourself checking out on a website that only accepts cryptocurrency or Zelle as the payment method, do not continue with the purchase. You will be charged and you will not receive your firearm. It is unfortunate that bad actors take advantage of the extraordinarily high demand in the marketplace. We are pursuing legal action against any website that uses our branding as a scam dealer, and we have already been successful in bringing down several. Please note that the only official websites for Henry Repeating Arms are HenryUSA.com and HenryPride.com, and Henry Repeating Arms is not affiliated with any other online dealer. Be safe out there!

That’s why we’re diverting emergency funds into our ad budget to generate a nonstop stream of phone calls into Manchin’s office. We don’t want a SINGLE second to go by where Manchin’s phone isn’t ringing with calls from fired-up constituents telling him to VOTE NO! With the Senate Judiciary Committee planning to take up Jackson’s nomination TODAY, we have no time to waste.

  Two bills are scheduled to be heard in committee this week,  HB 2166  and  HB 2473 . Both bills are on the agenda for two different sessions of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Tuesday and Thursday of this week. When you log into RTS to vote on these bills and submit your comments,  please be sure to do so for both sessions of each committee meeting  (see below). HB 2166  was amended by the Senate Finance Committee on March 17th, and sent to the Senate Appropriations Committee. The bill would exempt firearms and firearms safety equipment from transaction privilege (sales) taxes. HB 2473  did not fare well in the Senate Finance Committee last week. Senator J.D. Mesnard and committee vice-chairman Senator Vince Leach grilled those testifying in favor of the bill at length, including AzCDL lobbyist Michael Infanzon and Michael Findlay of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, an industry organization that represents firearms manufacturers. HB 2473  would prohibit a  public entity
