The Ohio Legislature has completed its votes for the Constitutional Carry bill, (permitless carry) on March 2, 2022. The bill will have some administrative procedures completed, and will then be sent to Governor DeWine. This will give Governor DeWine plenty of time to sign the bill in order to gain advantage from it in the upcoming Ohio primary election, which is scheduled for May 3rd, 2022.
On Wednesday, March 2, 2022, the Ohio House voted 57-35 to pass Senate Bill 215, sponsored by Sen. Terry Johnson.
About an hour later, the Senate concurred with a vote of 24-8. This means the bill now moves to the Governor’s desk!
The bill seeks to make a concealed handgun license optional in Ohio. It also clarifies how and when a person must notify law enforcement about carrying a firearm, so that an officer simply asks.
Other sources have confirmed the votes and progress of the bill. From limaohio.com:
The Ohio House Government Oversight Committee on Tuesday passed Sub Senate Bill 215, which allows Ohioans to concealed carry without a permit and removes required training and background checks for gun owners. The so-called “constitutional carry bill” passed on the House floor, 57-35, on Wednesday and an hour later passed in the Ohio Senate, 24-8. Now it awaits the governor’s signature.
The votes have yet to be entered on the official Ohio legislature site, as of the time of this writing. As noted in the previous article, Governor DeWine is expected to sign the bill. Once the bill is signed, it would become effective in about 90 days, according to Buckeye Firearms.

His veto would be political suicide.
Then again, he could be counting on Reccini and Blystone splitting the primary in his favor.
The State republicans are as swampy as DC.
They already put a mole in Blystones camp.
Isn’t DeWine a bit of a RINO? If so it seems likely that he’d veto.
My sources, who wish to remain anonymous, but are close to the situation, say he will sign the bill.
Blystone is clearly a ringer. He has a lot of money out of nowhere, and generally comes across as a phoney even in interviews.. Renacci is a solid contender.
This is a law that never should have been necessary.
You should not need to be granted permission to do what the constitution says you have a right to do.
Renacci couldn’t beat the wife beater, sharrod brown.
He has been attacking Blystone from the get-go.
I will take a farmer I have met and talked to over a career politician.
The state house is a swamp.
