newb question. Does a pot charge eliminate CCW approval?

Post by noffinater »

Ohio CCW law booklet indicates any illegal drug charge bars one from obtaining CCW permit. I remember a marijuana addendum was added to Ohio law a few years ago. Does this also apply to CCW or only for general gun possession? Any insight is appreciated. Sorry in advance, I'm sure this is a repost.

What was the charge? A minor misdemeanor, misdemeanor or felony?

A misdemeanor of some sort. I wasn't even arrested. The cop gave me a citation. I went to court, plead guilty, and paid a fine. I was 19 at the time.

If it was a minor misdemeanor it shouldn't be an issue.

2923.125 Application and licensing process.
(D)(5) If an applicant has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a minor misdemeanor offense or has been adjudicated a delinquent child for committing an act or violation that is a minor misdemeanor offense, the sheriff with whom the application was submitted shall not consider the conviction, guilty plea, or adjudication in making a determination under division (D)(1) or (F) of this section or, in relation to an application for a concealed handgun license on a temporary basis submitted under section 2923.1213 of the Revised Code, in making a determination under division (B)(2) of that section

Technically, the answer to your question is "yes." A pot charge would disqualify you under 2923.125(D)(1)(d):
The applicant is not under indictment for or otherwise charged with a felony; an offense under Chapter 2925., 3719., or 4729. of the Revised Code that involves the illegal possession, use, sale, administration, or distribution of or trafficking in a drug of abuse
Once that charged turns into a conviction for a minor misdemeanor, you would be eligible to get your CHL as provided elsewhere in this thread.
