It's just a means to an end. I was asked if this was acceptable in committee and answered NO, that it was a crime to answer that question falsely, and that remaining silent was a right that should never be a crime in a free country.
Upon reflection, I think this was a fatal mistake on my part. The BFA/NRA "compromise" didn't come about until after this, when we were labeled "hard core" and "uncompromising".
In reality, what was the harm in letting them have "if asked" a separately listed crime as long as it had the same penalty or less than your typical lying to the cops charge?
My thoughts were to remove the law totally from the books and I think tunnel vision got me.
I was thinking on my feet then and reflecting on how I might have done differently now.

I was told otherwise


I also disagree.
IMO, most people will give a cop their CHL when he asks for it, and their Drivers License when he asks for that.
Giving the cop EXACTLY what he asks for should NEVER be a crime, NEVER.

That is my strongly considered opinion; change my mind

Don't be too hard on yourself Chuck. I seem to recall hearing something along the lines of "when asked for identification" being a trigger to require notification. I don't recall if that was actually written in a bill or was just being discussed. Either way I agree that asking for identification and asking if one is armed is two entirely different things. I am OK with the latter being a trigger for notification but not the former.

I should've added an IIRC there. I could be wrong. I didn't keep that review. What I do remember clearly is that every online article I looked at that compiled such information was wrong - badly wrong. In at least one case the page had a map followed by a state-by-state summary, and the summaries frequently contradicted their map. At the time I checked each Yes state individually through http://www.handgunlaw.us/ and read their summary of when/if notification was required.

That's fine
Thank you anyway

I know "constitutional carry" is "probably" on everyone's want list, as it is on mine, but Chuck only left us vote on "3" items , so......

And being able to conceal "other " weapons legally such as knives, is right up there to.

We need a concealed "weapons" lic., (CWL), (not that we should need a lic. at all), which would then include knives, folding batons and such.....correct ?

I use a cane on occasion and would like to use a sword cane for possible protection but that's illegal at this point. But there are more important baskets to put all our eggs in.

Consider one of the TDI canes made for them by Ka Bar. I've taken mine through the security station at the Hamilton County Courthouse/Jail. The deputies look it over, raise their eyebrows, then hand it back.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

I don't like that curved handle of the TDI cane, it hurts the palm of my hand when used too much. I use what some call a walking stick but my favorite, of course, is the palm grip cane. Also very expensive. Most any cane will give a bad guy cause for pause. I carried a collapsible aluminum one with me in NYC a couple months ago.

I'd love to see a law that required that renewal by mail be allowed. Presumably fingerprints are on file, and they have an original picture to compare any updates too. In Summit county it currently requires 2 days off work to go in during the specified hours. One to turn the form in, and then a second to come pick up the final license after approval and be photographed. At least require that they take the picture the first day on the assumption that you will be approved so they can then then mail the license. Even one day off work to beg for my rights is bad, but 2 days is a onerous.

One of the reasons I like to go to Warren County. In for renewal and out with the license in about half an hour.

That's why I go to Wayne County - I can set up an appointment so I'm guaranteed to get in, at a time of my choosing. My most recent renewal, I scheduled the last appointment of the day so I could just leave work a little early and not miss any time. And, they mail the license to you when it is ready, which normally just takes a day or two. If you are in Summit County as it appears from your post, it might be worth going to Wayne.

Another option might be Stark - they take applications Tue & Thu starting at 7:30am as I recall, first come, first served, and you normally walk out with your license. So, get there early and be first in line, and not have to go back.
