Ohio laws Invalid?

[rtroha]

Last night, the Ohio legislature passed Am. Sub. House Bill 450. Once that bill is signed by Gov. Strickland, military personal between 18-20 years old will be able to legally purchase a handgun in Ohio.

So if the OP joins the Ohio National Guard, he can then purchase a handgun.

Is it any military, or Active Duty military? If it is Active Duty military, then National Guard won't count.

Active or reserve, whether that's US military or Ohio Natl Guard.

From HB 450

Sec. 2923.211
(B) No person under twenty-one years of age shall purchase or attempt to purchase a handgun, provided that this division does not apply to the purchase or attempted purchase of a handgun by a person eighteen years of age or older and under twenty-one years of age if the either of the following apply:
(1)...
...(2) The person is an active or reserve member of the armed services of the United States or the Ohio national guard, or was honorably discharged from military service in the active or reserve armed services of the United States or the Ohio national guard, and the person has received firearms training from the armed services or the national guard or equivalent firearms training.

The only thing I don't like about it is it's an exception for the "only ones."
"Regular" citizens need not apply.
