House bill 23 evidently dies in the discussion phase. Bil 23 was a "Vermont Style" carry law. It evidently has been replaced by house bill 165 http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/ and search for House Bill 165. from what I can gather, 165 is a "shall issue" bill that is a little more restrictive, but still retains the good points of present law. This IMHO is as far as it should go. We would still have the right to open carry, the right to carry if our life was threatened, CCW or not, limited record retension pertaining to licencening, the right to carry anywhere in the State (Take that Cincinati with your ban of all things semi auto), the right to carry not limited to one specific gun(The right tool for the right job, sometimes a small semi auto is preferable to anything else, and sometimes an N frame is), the inablility of the issuer(Sherrif) to block the issuance for political reasons, putting the issuance at a County level instead of a local level or State level( County officials are elected, State Police and Local Police are hired or appointed). Overall a pretty good one, and not a bad second choice.
