With the May 3 primary a month away, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine continues to face more decisions regarding gun rights.

On March 14, the Republican governor signed a bill that makes concealed carry permits optional in the state. While that decision joined the Stand Your Ground legislation that took effect in 2021, critics point out that DeWine’s track record on gun rights issues has been inconsistent since he took office in January 2019.
