The right to bear arms under the Second Amendment to the Constitution hinges on the phrase "a well regulated Militia." As a veteran of the United States Airforce, I am well acquainted with what a well regulated militia looks and feels like. Sadly, Ohio is not a state where the laws reflect the existence of a well regulated milita. In order to bring our state in line with Constitutional standards, Ohio law should be changed to reflect the rules and regulations in the United States Armed Forces. Specific provisions would include: implementing a minimum age of purchase and ownership for firearms, increased coursework and continuing education for those with a concealed carry permit, and the establishment of red flag laws.
