Mary Alice Reporting – With a law change coming up on June 13th related to guns, the Tuscarawas County Courthouse issued a prohibited statement.
Senate Bill 215 is set to take effect and will allow qualifying adults, in Ohio, to carry a concealed handgun without the need for a concealed handgun license.
Despite this change, deadly weapons are still prohibited in a building where a courthouse is located and Ohio law still makes it a felony crime to bring such a weapon into such a building.
Under the bill, qualifying adults are 21 years of age or older, legal residents, not subject to a protection order, have not been hospitalized or adjudicated mentally ill, have not been dishonorably discharged from the military, do not have a conviction or delinquency for a felony, a drug offense, domestic violence, one misdemeanor offense of violence within three years or two within five years, or are not otherwise forbidden under state or federal law can carry a concealed handgun without a permit.
