New Ohio law allows teachers to carry guns in schools without a permit

Governor Mike DeWine signs law which also applies to custodians and bus drivers, while slashing training requirements

Ohio's permitless gun carry law for qualifying" adults went into effect on Monday - a measure that would lift restrictions on school teachers, custodians and bus drivers from carrying firearms at work.

After Governor Mike DeWine announced he signed House Bill 99, which lowers the required training hours for armed personnel from 728 hours to 24 hours, DeWine said he still preferred law enforcement officers to carry the guns at schools.
