I have a friend that is wanting to get his CHL and was asking if he had to take take training. He worked as a deputy for a short time and went thru OPOTA Peace office training but his commission expired in 2009.
I reviewed ORC 2923.125
(e) A certificate or another similar document that evidences satisfactory completion of a firearms training, safety, or requalification or firearms safety instructor course, class, or program that is not otherwise described in division (B)(3)(a), (b), (c), or (d) of this section, that was conducted by an instructor who was certified by an official or entity of the government of this or another state or the United States or by a national gun advocacy organization, and that complies with the requirements set forth in division (G) of this section;
(g) A document that evidences that the applicant has successfully completed the Ohio peace officer training program described in section 109.79 of the Revised Code.
Is there a time limit or expiration on that training? its been 9 year since he had a commission. Or does he need to take a class.
In my opinion I told him to take the class just as a refresher but his time is limited due to working out of state and wants to be with his family when he is at home..

Re: Training question for CHL
I would imagine it's 3 years just like the rest of us. The 20 hour OPOTA, I believe, counts towards the CHL requirement in Ohio.

Taking the class, even if only for an overview of current law, is always a smart thing to do, regardless the requirement.

Re: Training question for CHL
Back in 2004 I tried to get 'em to take my OPOTA certification....
Seems that 1967-1968 wasn't current enough....
Makes me crazy sometimes - the kid's education was interesting. Stuff that I considered "current events" was "ancient history" to her.
IAC, the course was worth the time, if a bit of a PITA. Met some nice people, and learned a few things. The CHL law in 2004 was seriously crazy in spots. Still is, but not nearly as bad as it was then.
Regards,
