Ohio Hunting Update

Post by Louis »

Representative Cheryl Grossman (R Ohio) has contacted me with the following information. She has been hard at work putting together a bill to change the hunting law in Ohio to allow suppressors. In her research she came across what Georgia had done. The following is an excert from the bill that was passed in George. She is planning to use it as a template for Oho's bill. Please everyone look at it and if you have any comments or suggestions post them. Any help would be appreciated.

Any firearm otherwise
55 authorized for use in the hunting or taking of game may be equipped with a suppressor,
56 provided that the user is authorized to possess such suppressor and he or she has
57 registered the suppressor in accordance with the dictates of the National Firearms Act,
58 68A Stat. 725 (26 U.S.C. Sections 5841-5862). For the purposes of this paragraph, the
59 term 'suppressor' means any device for quieting or diminishing the report of any portable
60 weapon such as a rifle, carbine, pistol, revolver, machine gun, shotgun, fowling piece, or
61 other device from which a shot, bullet, or projectile may be discharged by an explosive.
62 (b) The hunting privileges of any person who has been convicted of violating the
63 provisions of this title or any rule or regulation promulgated pursuant thereto by hunting
13 LC 28 6490
S. B. 93
- 3 -
64 without landowner permission, hunting in an area that is closed for hunting, or by hunting
65 big game out of season or at night with a firearm equipped with a suppressor shall be
66 suspended for three years."

It would be cool. If it happens i might had to spend the 200 bucks and file the paperwork and build something rather than living vicariously though people have one...lol

Talked to Representative Grossman last week. Before Easter weekend. She said that everyone is involved with the budget and hashing that out right now. She has a bill ready to be submitted for cosponsership. It should be circulated for that next week. That would be Monday 4-8-13. Representative Grossman is the Majority Whip in the house. That is a position that get things done. Yes please call or e-mail your local state representative. Let them know that Representative Grossman is submitting a bill that they need to support.

It looks like it went through hoop #1. Just needs to pass the senate and then have the guvnah sign it in as law. It said an application was needed, I wonder how much more of my money they want to take away for having firearms.

older topic here, but I wonder if after the elections this week if this will get some attention soon or not.

2nd hand info here:
my hunting partner told me that he talked to a game warden in Butler county and was told that suppressor use for hunting coyote was ok, but deer and birds were not ok. I would love to take my suppressor out when I hunt coyotes but am afraid to do so without some more info to back this claim up. I have a coyote rich wetland area to hunt and was hoping someone would give me a glimpse of hope about this.

It has been 7 months since HB 264 was passed by the General Assembly and now since the elections are over, I would hope the Senate would finalize this.

any words of wisdom for me? :?:

just now received... but the link isn't working at this time. server likely overwhelmed now.

If you go to this link: http://www.ohiosenate.gov/committee/civil-justice#, you can see all of the testimony that was submitted in Senate Civil Justice Committee. HB 234 was open to all testimony yesterday, but there were no amendments offered/accepted and the bill was not voted on. I do not know at this time what the plan is going forward, because the members still need to meet to discuss the bill.

Hope this is helpful.

Thanks,
