鈥淐riminals don鈥檛 go through background checks. The only purpose of having a permit is for law-abiding citizens to do a background check, and the criminals don鈥檛 get background checks," Hood said in the video.
The bill would also eliminate the eight hours of training permit holders need.
Gov. Mike DeWine has indicated he鈥檇 support it.
