There are an amazing number of individuals in Ohio who already own handguns but a state representative is interested in allowing people to bring weapons like Taurus handguns into the Statehouse and various parking garages and to remove a law that would otherwise require drivers in those areas to tell law enforcement personnel when they had a handgun inside their vehicle during any routine traffic stop. But law enforcement individuals in the area suggest that this practice would likely create some safety issues for law enforcement personnel currently working in the area.

A man working for a lobbyist group called the Ohioans for Concealed Carry suggested that his organization did not believe that removing the requirement for a person to inform police officers and other law enforcement personnel of concealed weapons would represent any increased danger to anyone. But there are other groups in the state who feel that such changes to the state laws would not be a good idea because that would mean that a level of protection for officers would be removed and that it would reduce the knowledge gained by officers in routine traffic stops or even difficult traffic stops.

The member of the Ohio government who is sponsoring the bill is interested in making people aware that they wouldn’t otherwise be made less safe by such changes and that one of the reasons for its introduction is because the bill’s sponsor feels it would be better for people who have concealed weapons able to bring them into the courthouse instead of leaving them in a car.
