COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine continues to express concern about the increase in gun violence impacting children, but Republican lawmakers say they have no interest in adding gun safety regulations.
"It was wonderful to hear Governor DeWine say he was offering the assistance of state troopers to local communities to help stem the uprise in violent crimes," said Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio President Gary Wolske."While this offer is commendable, the problem still lies in the amount of guns that are on the streets of our state."
‘Our voices are not heard’ — Ohio’s largest police union slams new GOP gun bills "Too many gun laws have been relaxed to the point that we now allow citizens to carry a concealed weapon in Ohio without any training and without the requirement to notify officers they are carrying a weapon," FOP president Gary Wolske said.
After he skirted our questions during press conferences, we were able to address the concerns in a one-on-one with the governor in December. While Klein and Columbus attempt to require people to lock up their guns, they have been blocked by lawsuits.
