Concealed Carry Licenses Surge in Ohio

Post by bignflnut »

(Not my headline)

Didn't see this elsewhere...
Ohio reports that concealed carry licenses surged in 2015, with approximately 72,000 new licenses issued.

The increase is a considerable jump above the 58,000 issued in 2014.

According to WKYC, concealed carry licenses last for five years before requiring renewal in Ohio. And there were 45,000 renewals in addition to all the newly issued licenses in 2015.

Ohioans for Concealed Carry’s Doug Deeken sees it differently, however. He argues the surge in concealed carry is an outgrowth of grassroots concern for personal safety. Deeken said, “People read the news, they see what happened in Paris, San Bernardino, and they realize that they are their own first responders.”
National coverage...take a bow Doug...

I wonder how many people here know who Doug Deeken is here on the forums.
I do because I've traveled with him to a couple of open carry events, sat with him at the OFCC table at a Summit Co. gun show, gone with him to a couple of Meet, Greet, Shoot, & Eat events and met him when a bunch of OFCC people traveled to the east side Akron pizza parlor to give support to a man that had to shoot an armed robber.
I consider him a friend and if I were in a position to vote for him for an office I would without hesitation.

I have no clue who he is.
"Lord, make my hand fast and accurate.
Let my aim be true and my hand faster
than those who would seek to destroy me.
Grant me victory over my foes and those who wish to do harm to me and mine.
Let not my last thought be 'If I only had my gun."
And Lord, if today is truly the day you call me home
Let me die in a pile of empty brass."
Amen

Well played.

Accurate quote?
