Ohio CHL: ''Do what's right, rather than what's easy''

After reading Ken Hanson's article "Friends don't let Ohio friends carry on a non-resident permit" which you posted on the OFCC site yesterday, I found his point to be well reasoned and right on the mark. As a result, I immediately made arrangements to take the training necessary to meet the requirements for my Ohio permit. I currently commute to Virginia in my position, but will return and take the required training over the labor day weekend. I'll make application at the Lake County Sheriff's office on 7 Sep, prior to my return to Virginia.

I originally intended to carry in Ohio on my Florida and Virginia permits, since they accepted my military training (24+ years)without any time restrictions (i.e within the last 6 years). But Mr Hanson makes a compelling case for support of future Ohio CCW reforms, and has convinced me to to do "what's right, rather than what's easy". While I'll continue to carry on my out of state permits, that will change after receipt of my Ohio CCW.

Please pass my thanks to Mr Hanson, and let him he has at least one convert!

Regards,

Jack Baillie
