State Rep. John Becker introduces Concealed Carry Legislation

By
-

State Representative John Becker (R-Clermont County) has announced that he has introduced House Bill 236, which will allow all non-federal, public sector employees with a concealed carry license to carry into all non-federal and non-secured public buildings.

Regarding the legislation, Becker made the following statement:

“House Bill 236 will allow employees and elected officials who have a concealed carry license to defend themselves. Buildings secured with metal detectors would remain off limits except for law enforcement personnel.

"I believe that we ought to be able to defend ourselves. As criminals continue to ignore state gun laws, this bill empowers law-abiding citizens to respond to these threats with equal force.”

House Bill 236 will now receive further consideration upon being assigned to a House standing committee.
