State Sen. Terry Johnson, R-McDermott, is applauding the release of a report detailing a decrease in gun crime following the enactment of his constitutional carry legislation, Senate Bill 215.
Senate Bill 215, which allows qualifying adults to carry a concealed handgun without obtaining a concealed handgun license, went into effect June 13th, 2022. Six of Ohio’s eight largest cities reported fewer gun crimes when compared to the year prior to the bill’s enactment, according to data collected through a collaboration of the Ohio Attorney General’s Office and Bowling Green State University.
