A concealed weapons permit would become optional and the requirement that individuals "promptly" notify police officers that they are carrying a concealed weapon would be eliminated under legislation approved along partisan lines by Ohio’s GOP-controlled Legislature and sent to Republican Gov. Mike DeWine.

A governor's spokesperson hinted that the measure, passed Wednesday, would likely be signed into law.

"We are reviewing the bill, but I would note Governor DeWine has long supported the Second Amendment rights of law abiding citizens to keep and bear arms," spokesperson Dan Tierney said.

The measure is one of several GOP-backed proposals in recent years seeking to expand gun rights in Ohio. The bill, dubbed "Constitutional Carry" by its backers, was introduced by state Sen. Terry Johnson, a Republican from southern Ohio

s Scioto County.
