Statement from State Representative Joseph Uecker

 on Firearms in Ohio Townships

Columbus – The following statement can be attributed in part or whole to State Representative Joseph Uecker (R- Miami Township) pertaining to recent debate on regulations for firearms in townships:  

“In order to clarify statements published in local newspapers, I have no intent to introduce specific legislation on this matter. I do, however, feel it is always necessary to respond to the inquiries and concerns of my constituency, trying to listen and be as helpful as I can.”

“In this situation, I was approached directly and indirectly by a constituent and local officials who had concerns regarding firearms activity in the Townships’ neighborhoods. Appropriately so, I am looking into the matter and researching current law and restrictions pertaining to this particular constituent case.”
