Ohio House Proposes Bill Allowing College Students to Carry Non-Lethal Weapons on Campus
A new bill, known as the Campus Self-Defense Act, has been introduced in the Ohio House of Representatives. The bill, proposed by Rep. Levi Dean (R-Xenia), aims to allow college students to carry non-lethal self-defense weapons such as pepper spray, mace, Tasers, and stun guns on campus. Currently, Ohio universities have the autonomy to set their own policies regarding the possession of these items, with no state law mandating their allowance. The proposed legislation would prevent colleges and universities from banning adults who are lawfully on campus from carrying these non-lethal weapons. The bill has been passed to a committee for further discussion.
