Concealed carry, guns in schools: Two major gun bills win approval in Ohio House

The Ohio House voted Wednesday in favor of bills that would allow teachers with 20 hours of training to carry firearms on K-12 campuses and that would wipe out a required eight-hour class for Ohioans to carry hidden guns into public places.

House Bill 99, which would address armed teacher training, passed on a 58-33 vote.

House Bill 227, which would allow Ohio adults to carry concealed firearms without taking a currently required class, passed on a 60-32 vote.

Both bills now move to the Ohio Senate for consideration.
