Changing Gun Laws

All over the US, state legislatures are debating and, in some cases, changing licensing standards and other regulations such as when and how guns can be carried. 

Policy writers for schools, libraries, religious organizations, and  businesses should keep an eye out. Changes could impact your human resources  Just one example: Ohio House legislators recently moved forward legislation that would grant Ohioans aged 21-and-up the right to carry concealed weapons without undergoing any background check or firearms training. 

Under current law, Ohioans must complete eight hours of training and pass a background check via their local sheriff for a five-year, concealed carry  license. The legislation would remove the requirement to seek licensure. Here is a news piece from a local news agency tracking the pace of the legislation: 

Ready information explaining changes might be less available - at least in Ohio - where shortly before approving the bill along party lines, Republicans rejected a number of proposals from Democrats, including one that would have required the attorney general to create a one-page brochure detailing the new law. 

I'm not sure how providing information is bad, but I'm confident that someone will develop a good cheat sheet for the public at some point.
