Sheriff Karnes STILL doesn't understand the law on TELs?

The Ohio Supreme Court could not have been more clear. The Court was so clear even the anti-CCW media reported it correctly:

FRANKLIN CO. SHERIFF JIM KARNES WAS WRONG TO DEMAND "PROOF OF NEED" FOR A T.E.L. APPLICATION.

Apparently there is one person left in the state who still doesn't get it:

Nov. 18, 2004, Columbus Dispatch:

[Karnes] has issued three emergency permits, but all three have expired, and a person can apply for the emergency permit only once.

"You got to have a reason to be scared. Otherwise, I'm going to have people
filing applications for an emergency permit that really don't have a reason to
have a gun," Karnes said.

He is seeking further clarification from the state attorney general's office.

Either Karnes is planning to keep asking until he finds someone who will agree with him, or he is unable to understand simple instructions about how to enforce the law.

If the former, he's going to be asking for quite a while. If the latter, he should not be allowed to continue in his job as sheriff of one of the most populous counties in our state.
