  "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
U.S. Constitution;Amendent II
"The people have the right to bear arms for their defense and security; but standing armies, in time of peace, are dangerous to liberty, and shall not be kept up; and the military shall be in strict subordination to the civil power." Ohio Constitution, Article 1.04 (1851)

The Ohio Rifle and Pistol Association has an active legislative commitment to ALL of its' membership as well as all NRA members and gun owners in Ohio. We have worked with other groups and individuals in Ohio to pass Pro-Gun Legislation and also to defeat bills and ordinances that would discriminate against lawful gun owners and gun ownership.

The fight for just laws is NOT over and is not expected to be any easier in the near future. Gun enthusiasts and shooters statewide MUST unite in the fight against those who would take away our Second Amendment rights.

We actively promote and solicit your support in the continuing battle against unjust or discriminatory laws. We have provided a link below to enable you to write your members of Congress as well as State Legislators to enlist in our active compaigns.

We also invite and encourage you to sign up for our member legislative alerts as well as the NRA-ILA alerts available online at the NRA-ILA website.
