CLEVELAND, Ohio - A group of Ohio mayors and police chiefs held a news conference Monday afternoon to discuss gun violence in their cities and urge the Ohio legislature to find a way to make Ohio’s cities safer from gun violence.
The mayors and chiefs are urging the Ohio Senate to pass “common sense” laws to help prevent gun violence. The mayor asked the state legislature to follow the lead of a bipartisan group of United States Senators who have found some common ground on gun reform. Cleveland Police Chief Wayne Drummond expressed concern over the safety of his officers as a new law went into effect this week that significantly loosens the restrictions on concealed carry.
