"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.
