Ohio governor John Kasich is backing six gun control measures for the state.
Governor Kasich made the announcement Thursday that he will ask the Ohio General Assembly to pass certain measures for gun control. Those measures include barring domestic violence offenders from owning a gun, bulking up background checks, Ohio law matching federal law for third party gun purchases, prohibit the sales of armor piercing ammunition and bump stocks, and "red flag laws", which allow family and law enforcement to ask the courts to order temporary removal of firearms from someone who might be a danger to themselves or others.
Allen County Sheriff Matt Treglia says that there are a few things that the sheriff's office would like to see come from this announcement.
"We would like to have better access to mental health records for the CCW permits, that would be huge for us; as far as the domestic violence and the family members maybe probating and trying to get somebody probated so we can take their weapons, there’s going to be issues with storage and who’s going to store them, how we’re going to store them, things like that," said Sheriff Treglia.
Sheriff Treglia says that there are local legislators that will work with the governor on these measures.
