Ohio's governor signed off on a bill that changes the state's conceal carry requirements.

Mandatory background checks and training are a thing of the past.

The changes include no longer requiring a background check, no longer requiring 8 hours of training, and owners are no longer required to obtain a CCW permit.

As long as the state and federal government allow someone to own a gun, they can.

Gun sales were already high during the pandemic. Precision Shooting LLC in Austintown receives about three shipments a day and almost always sells out the same day the guns arrive.

"Guns go out the door as fast as we can get them in," Tom Rinehart said, manager at Precision Shooting.

He says many customers used their stimulus checks to buy guns.

With the new changes to Ohio's concealed carry law, he's worried about gun owners not knowing how to handle their purchase.

"There's a lot of places you can't carry a firearm, even with a concealed carry permit," he said. "The training will teach you those. There's things you can and cannot do when carrying a firearm."

Cleaning a gun, learning how to take it apart and how to clear a failure to fire are among the tasks a gun owner will learn during a training course.

Rinehart estimates gun sales will shoot up another 20-percent with the state's new law in place.

Customers might experience a wait time with shipping delays and a slower gun supply chain.

The Ohio Buckeye Firearms Association is praising the law, calling it a 'great moment for Ohio.'

Despite changes to the law, Rinehart believes the region will still see license applications.

Mahoning County ranked number 10 in the state for issuing the most new permits in 2019.

Precision Shooting LLC offers a monthly CCW training course.
