Kasich is running for Governor now so the issue is irrelevant. I don’t think he’s going to be signing any gun control bills in OH, do you?
His character isn't irrelevant. Not to me anyway. And it isn't like a governor wouldn't have an effect on the state gun laws. Since we've enacted CCW, there's been a few attempts to soften it and all have failed. I have no reason to believe that the gun control forces will just go away and Kasich has already proven he's 'negotiable'.
