Whatever the legislature comes up with then would head to Republican Gov. Mike DeWine’s desk for his signature.
In her own floor speech, Sen. Teresa Fedor, a Toledo Democrat, called on DeWine to veto the bill, saying it would make schools less safe.who for years have rolled back gun restrictions repeatedly in Ohio
