Columbus, OH – Gun owners in Ohio made history on Wednesday when they voted 60-30 to pass Constitutional Carry for the first time. The vote was split on straight party lines, with no Democrats agreeing that law-abiding citizens have the right to self-defense without paying the government, first.
But the real story here is that every single Republican voted for the bill – and it wasn’t because every single one suddenly decided to be heroes of the second amendment.
No, that was the result of tens of thousands of calls and emails from the mobilized members and supporters of Ohio’s largest and most powerful gun rights group, Ohio Gun Owners.
The organization has been sounding the call for the last several years that the same gun owners who had elected a supermajority of Republicans were done waiting for those same republicans to deliver for gun owners.
Thanks to bill sponsors Tom Brinkman and Kris Jordan, gun owners finally had a bill they could throw their full political weight behind – and that’s exactly what happened.
For gun owners in Ohio, it looks like they’re marching to victory and are in good hands. We love watching this tidal wave of good gun bills all over the country. The awful event of the last 18 months have woken a sleeping giant – and there’s no telling what we can get done with so many mobilized gun owners.
We’ll keep you posted on this bill, so check back often!
