COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Republican lawmakers in the Ohio House and Senate have introduced a pair of bills to exempt sales tax from “certain firearms and ammunition.”
The bill would also provide tax incentives for firearm industry manufacturers in Ohio and provide a tax credit that would offset the federal excise tax.
Rep. Al Cutrona (R-Canfield) is sponsoring House Bill 189; 10 other House Republicans have signed onto that bill.
“We are enforcing the constitutional rights of our citizens with this legislation,” Cutrona said in a statement. “This will not only lower costs for Ohioans, but it will also assist Ohio’s businesses.”
State Sen. Tim Schaffer (R-Lancaster) is sponsoring Senate Bill 134; one other Republican Senator has signed onto the Senate version.
“I am proud to work with Representative Cutrona on removing burdensome taxation on Ohioans exercising their Second Amendment right,” Schaffer said in a statement. “This is the least we can do to make owning a firearm for self-defense, hunting, and sport more affordable for the average Ohioan.
It would be great to buy a gun for $1000 then use the $60 savings on taxes to buy ammo like you can in WV.
I thought about moving to NW OH but there's lots of property crime due to the meth/pillbillys in the small towns.
