My OH license expired in 2014, can I still renew it or has too much time passed?

Correct and I can attest nothing is ever purged. I've seen CHLs that were issued back in 2004 and never renewed and still in the system.pirateguy191 wrote:There is no time limit, as far as I know, in the ORC.

Quite true. At least once a shift I see a STATUS/EXPIRED DATE OF ISSUE/2004MMDD DATE OF EXPIRE/2008MMDD go by. The only exception might be if you renew in a different county. However I have seen people with multiple CHLs come back on a query. The first one is expired and the second one is valid starting around the expiration of the first but issued by a different county. That's pretty rare though which makes me think if you go to another county theyr'e supposed to remove the original record.JediSkipdogg wrote:Correct and I can attest nothing is ever purged.

But only the entering agency can remove a record. So to me, if I renew in Warren County (where I plan on this year) then they would have to notify Clermont County to remove their record. And anyone in law enforcement knows that's not going to happen on a regular basis.djthomas wrote:Quite true.

Yes to both. I disagree with the first and think it should be removed from Ohio law, but it's in there. Years, if not a decade or more ago, the BMV changed everything to expire on your birthday instead of the end of the month. Having that grace period basically says your license is expired, but wait, not really expired. So now we expect a police officer to know that the expiration date is really not the expiration date and it should be 30 days past that. So, why even have it and not just make the expiration 30 more days later? It's illogical and pointless.weakhand luke wrote:Then I wonder, can a person legally carry a concealed handgun during the 30-day grace period after the expiration date? One might wonder too if they could carry concealed in Ohio with their issued, current PA license?
I don't believe the second is correct since we do not have a reciprocity agreement with PA. As an Ohio resident for more than 6 months, I believe a reciprocity agreement is required before you can carry on an out-of-state license.JediSkipdogg wrote:Yes to both.weakhand luke wrote:Then I wonder, can a person legally carry a concealed handgun during the 30-day grace period after the expiration date?

(2) If, on or after the effective date of this amendment, a person who is a resident of this state has a valid concealed handgun license that was issued by another license-issuing state that has not entered into a reciprocity agreement with the attorney general under division (A)(1) of this section, the license issued by the other license-issuing state shall be recognized in this state, shall be accepted and valid in this state, and grants the person the same right to carry a concealed handgun in this state as a person who was issued a concealed handgun license under section 2923.125 of the Revised Code for a period of six months after the person became a resident of this state. After that six-month period, if the person wishes to obtain a concealed handgun license, the person shall apply for a concealed handgun license pursuant to section 2923.125 of the Revised Code.
My bad, didn't realized we didn't have written reciprocity with PA.JustaShooter wrote:I don't believe the second is correct since we do not have a reciprocity agreement with PA.

They do. PA is like Ohio that accepts nearly anyone meeting certain requirements. That only grants reciprocity for a resident of that state though. Once you move into Ohio, unless we have a written agreement, your other states residents CHL will expire after a certain time, six months.chaos321 wrote:Every reciprocity map i pull up says PA accepts our CCW?
