New lady here from Cuyahoga Falls

Post by lilskydiver20 »

Hey all. I've been lurking for a week or two, just trying to take in as much information as I can. I am actually taking my CCW class this weekend (range time today), and I wanted to wait to post until I took the class so... here I am!

As for the firearms in my possession... I have a Colt 1911 New Agent with the "Dot the I" sights, instead of the trench sights. That is what I intend on carrying. I also have a Stevens/Savage 12 Gauge pump action shotgun. The husband has a Colt 1911 Commander and since he is in the Army (reserves for the time being), he also has a SIG516. He hasn't taken his CCW class yet, he just doesn't have time. Hopefully soon though!

Anyways, I'm here to learn!

I actually haven't been skydiving in forever. My mom used to jump out at AerOhio in Rittman, which is where I made my jump. Costs got too high, so she stopped jumping so I stopped going out there. I'm going to hopefully get into it again soon.

He doesn't need to take a concealed handgun licensing course since he is in the reserves. He could get his license now.
(3) One or more of the following competency certifications, . . . .

(d) A document that evidences both of the following:

(i) That the applicant is an active or reserve member of the armed forces of the United States, was honorably discharged from military service in the active or reserve armed forces of the United States, is a retired trooper of the state highway patrol, or is a retired peace officer or federal law enforcement officer described in division (B)(1) of this section or a retired person described in division (B)(1)(b) of section 109.77 of the Revised Code and division (B)(1) of this section;

(ii) That, through participation in the military service or through the former employment described in division (B)(3)(d)(i) of this section, the applicant acquired experience with handling handguns or other firearms, and the experience so acquired was equivalent to training that the applicant could have acquired in a course, class, or program described in division (B)(3)(a), (b), or (c) of this section.
At minimum, he still needs to read the Ohio Atty General booklet so he familiarizes himself with deadly force laws in Ohio.

Don't forget the requirement in Blue.
