The Peoples Rights Organization (PRO) is a statewide constitutional rights advocacy group and highly respected Second Amendment information center. Founded in 1989 following the passage of vague and restrictive legislation in Columbus, Ohio and other large cities across the U.S., PRO filed and won a number of lawsuits in federal and state court overturning unconstitutional laws. Today, Peoples Rights Organization is Ohio's largest and most aggressive grassroots firearms rights organization, focusing on Education, Legislation and Litigation. PRO has led the charge for responsible firearms legislation since its inception -- particularly with respect to Ohio CCW reform. In 2004, Peoples Rights Organization was recognized by the Ohio House of Representatives, the nation's pro-firearms groups, and personal safety publications for its leadership on the issue, and for 15 years as one of the nation's leading grassroots firearms rights organizations.
Our advocacy offices and the PRO-Training Education Center are located just a few miles from the state capitol at 4444 Indianola Avenue, Columbus, OH, 43214.
