AI Summary
This bill, known as the Freedom to Carry Act, makes several changes to Ohio law regarding weapons. It renames a "concealed handgun license" to a "concealed weapons license" and expands the types of weapons a licensee can carry to include deadly weapons that are not "exclusive deadly weapons" (meaning weapons that are not prohibited by law for possession). The bill also allows for the possession or transportation of a loaded firearm in a motor vehicle or vessel, which was previously restricted. Additionally, it updates definitions and references throughout the Revised Code to reflect these changes, effectively modernizing the language related to concealed carry permits and weapon types.
