Concealed carry license holders in Ohio will no longer need a background check every time they buy a new firearm.
The new provisions were announced by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives.
Dealers will no longer need to call in or fill out an online form for a background check for every purchase.
Steve Wynn at Ottawa Ordnance says one in 17 Ohians hold a concealed carry license, and less than one percent have it revoked. He says while it's possible someone might fall through the cracks, it is improbable.
He says it's a sign Ohio is catching up to other 24 states that already skip this extra step.
Wynn says they are just waiting on official word from government officials to stop doing the background checks. It's not yet clear when that will be.
