Concealed Carry in Ohio

[nighthawk80]

Ok, I know it's not lawful to CC in Ohio with an Indiana permit, but Ohioans can CC in Indiana. I go to Ohio alot (family is there), and was thinking about getting a Utah permit so I could CC.
Well My wife was talking to one of her "gun guy" clients and he told her I should wait, because Indiana was going to start having a class in order to get your permit (the main reason Ohio won't recognize Indiana's permit). Apparently it will be a short class and everyone who already has a permit will be grandfathered in. He supposedly got this info from a Cop friend. The class will be basically about the gun laws in Indiana. Once Indiana has a Class, Ohio will start honoring our permit.
Normally I don't listen to all the he said, she said stuff, but this intreaged me. So, has any of you heard about this?

I am awaiting an email from the Buckeye hand gun owners assoc. in regard to basicly the same question. I will post my findings when I hear something.

Never heard of it never seen any legislative action to alter the current rules. It's like those people who always say "they're gonna get rid of the lifetime permit soon". Sounds like he-said she-said to me, and cops aren't usually the ones to ask about legislative action either.

Oh, come on!

My cousion's sister's grandfather's niece on my mother's side, friend was told by a mall ninja who heard it on The Internet, so it's gotta be true!

Well if there is a ninja involved.... that's different.

 

[nighthawk80]

Well I feel better if you heard it from a mall ninja. They know everything.

I'm not saying its true, just wanting to know if anyone else if heard it.

Utah License
$100 class
$14 for photographs etc. (est.)
$60 first time license
$10 renewal fees

Under $200 for your Utah license for the first four years. $10 every 4 years after that isn't such a big deal.

If I were an Indiana resident, I'd just go ahead and get the Florida/Utah/whatever license and be done with it. Waiting for the government to move is not generally a successful strategy.

Especially since there is no move by the government to impose any kind of training requirement for the LTCH (which is good in my opinion). Waiting for something that will only happen in a rumor mill is not going to be rewarding.

That about settles it, doesnt it?

Not meant to disrespect the LEO here, they probably see more of it than we do. Knowing laws and enforcing laws are very different.

I have my Utah permit just so I can carry in Ohio since we teach there a lot and I am over there several times a week.

If and when you get either a Utah or Florida permit, you need to make sure that you get an Ohio Law book for the AG. Their laws are somewhat flaky and you can get in trouble real quick if you don't know all of the rules. I teach Ohio CCW Courses and every time I do a class, I just think how lucky we are in Indiana!!!

Here is the scoop from one of the attorney's who plays a major role in passing Ohio CCW laws. Defending yourself in Ohio with or without a firearm is a "criminal act". YOU have the burden of proof that you did not initiate, escalate, or continue the situation. The book will tell you more. I encourage you to get one because they are FREE!!!

Thank you for the information. I thought that Ohio just passed the Castle Doctrine though?

 

[Hiram Abiff]

Where would one obtain this book from. Is there a contact point, phone number or mailing address?

 

[Brian@ITC]

It is my understanding that the Castle Doctrine doesn't go into effect until Sept 8th, 2008.

You can contact the Ohio AG's office and request a book by following the Publication Request Form link from the following page.

I will fight this new law vigorously, as should we all. It's too easy to say "Oh well, it's just ___ in the class, and that's not too onerous, and besides, they're grandfathering everyone in!"
It only takes one bad legislature, and that's likely this time around, and one bad governor (so's that) to change it from "just this" to "all that" and to remove grandfathering and to make the lifetime LTC go away. Get a UT CCW, if you want 33 states. We have a thread going, started by ryanmercer, in which we've been talking about a training class on the 19th. If you can't make that, the instructor is on here, too, and I'm sure could be prevailed upon to teach another class.

Oh, and Lars? It's five years.

Blessings,
