Current Ohio law forces a Sherrif to look at ALL records when considering the issuance
of a CCW... Juvenile, Misdemeanor Drug, Sealed, Expunged

If you have your record "Sealed" this will change in a little over 3 months from now

All I know is what my experience reflects. As of about 1 1/2 years ago Ohio
only granted "Sealed Records" and no Expungements

I always wondered how/why Ohio ended up with such strange laws pertaining
to Expungements and Gun Laws when all the other States do not have such laws

Mike:

I hate to give the poison pill folks the credit, but it could have been just one more way to keep the counts down, and it basically meant that any crime of a certain type would make you permanently ineligible. Get popped for walking by an enumerated CPZ, for example....

It's also possible that it's just a typo, sort of. It appears that you're supposed to explicitly say "but not the sealed stuff" when requiring background checks, and somebody forgot.

I'm convinced that nobody but us reads these things anyway....

Regards,
Stu.

I seem to recall from some prior discussion here on OFCC that the "sealed" vs "expunged" came about as usual from a pivotal case.

This is very common, not they like to NAME laws for the person whose case lead to the law "Megan's Law" being one example.
