NICE!!!
Ohio just past a concealed weapons law!!!
We can carry after passing a few stipulations.

What other states have this?

Sunset...WV has a very similar law.

VCIII...I know you are an Ohio boy, and I was just wondering if you are interested in getting your conceal/carry permit?

I am going to get one, but I am a teacher, and I need to check if there are any stipulations on public employees before I do anything.

I can also see there being a problem with most places putting up signs that you cannot carry a weapon into their establishment...

Hi Pro Line, How have you been.

I may apply for mine.

It should be interesting to see how this is opened in Ohio.

I do not own a handgun, and I have no desire to right now, but do you think I can still get the permit? I mean just out of support for the law?

Will the permit be like a drivers liscence, applying to the person, or like a liscence plate, applying to the vehicle (gun)?

I've been good, but busy VC...We had our first child...a boy Nov 22nd. It's been a blast so far.

I need to read EVERY stipulation that goes with this law, because it sounds like there are plenty.

I have relatives in WV that have permits and it is no big ordeal. Taft will surely make it more difficult than that. It's just his nature...LOL[>:]

My wife and I will be applying.

MI has had this for a few years now. I haven't got mine yet simply because I'm an idiot, but this summer the wife and I are getting them for sure.

Here's what we have to do:
- take a class which teaches law and shooting
- pass a shooting proficiency test on the range
- pass written test
- apply with state
- a few bucks, finger prints, and a few week wait, and you're carrying

Don't know.
I think that is a good idea though.
I would contact your local gun store.

Great! Ohio joins the ranks of the sane!! AN ARMED SOCIETY IS A POLITE SOCIETY!! Tell that to the "Plain Dealer"!!

Yes, it is a small license plate (5"X7"). You merely hang it under the muzzle, where it can be seen by all would-be criminals so they will know you have the legal right to shoot them!

Hi sunset,

A very good resource for obtaining information concerning concealed carry can be found at:
