Caleb Stidham (House District 89): A-Q. Here’s why. Stidham returned a 100% pro-gun OGO candidate survey in 2026. He was endorsed in 2026 by the Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio, one of the leading opponents of pro-gun bills in the General Assembly. The Q means qualified by survey: no legislative record yet, so the grade rests on written answers. We’ll hold them to every one. An FOP endorsement costs half a letter grade, because the FOP of Ohio fights pro-gun bills at the Statehouse. The full record is in our 2026 voter guide.

We give Mark Hiner (House District 98) a D. Here’s the record. Hiner has cast only one gun vote in the legislature: on June 10, 2026, a vote against the Freedom to Carry Act, offered as an amendment to House Bill 667. He didn’t co-sponsor the Freedom to Carry Act, the Ohio Self-Defense Act or the Second Amendment Protection Act. Mark Hiner took $250 from Everytown for Gun Safety’s registered lobbyist or their lobbying firm (Ohio Secretary of State filings). The Freedom to Carry Act (House Bill 495) is real constitutional carry: it replaces the concealed handgun license with a concealed weapons license and lets law-abiding Ohioans carry any legal self-defense tool, not just a handgun. Every reason is laid out in our 2026 voter guide. See every grade and every vote in our 2026 voter guide: ohiogunowners.org/2026-ballo…

We give Ron Ferguson an A+. Ferguson returned a 100% pro-gun OGO candidate survey in 2026. He sponsored legislation repealing gun-free zones and co-sponsored the Freedom to Carry Act, the Ohio Self-Defense Act and the Second Amendment Protection Act. Ferguson voted YES on the Freedom to Carry Act (June 2026) and the Second Amendment Preservation Act (December 2024). The Freedom to Carry Act (House Bill 495) is real constitutional carry: it replaces the concealed handgun license with a concealed weapons license and lets law-abiding Ohioans carry any legal self-defense tool, not just a handgun. The Second Amendment Preservation Act, offered on Senate Bill 58 in December 2024, would bar state and local enforcement of federal gun control in Ohio.
