I have a criminal background, took my 8hr required CHL course and did my background check for licensing but i am unsure if I will be eligible because I’ve been delayed before at a local gun show.
My criminal record looks like this:
Disorderly Conduct 2917-11-ORCN (5-13-2014)
Public Indecency 2907-09A ORCN (10-17-16)
& a Minor Misdemeanor Marijuana ticket in 2017
Do I No longer have gun ownership rights and am I still eligible for a Ohio CHL?

Re: OHIO CHL BACKGROUND CHECK
None of the offenses you list would disqualify you from getting your Ohio CHL.
The requirements for the license are at http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2923.125" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; if you want to review them.

Re: OHIO CHL BACKGROUND CHECK
The only questionable one I see is what did the Disorderly Conduct stem from? Was it a DV pled down to a DC? If so, that can still be a disqualifier. But if you have only been delayed, then I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Re: OHIO CHL BACKGROUND CHECK
Disorderly Conduct was a Minor Misdemeanor as well. Long story short My neighbors wanted me to take my dog inside because she was a Pitbull, and she didn’t feel comfortable walking her dog while a Pitbull was near. My dog was leashed and on my property. She called police, Cop then drew gun on and demanded that I take my dog in the house which I did. Once I came back outside he asked for my social and name, I simply replied “ am I being detained” he didn’t like the fact that I answered his question with my own question and told me I was under arrest for being a “smartass” went to court and was charged with disorderly Conduct.

Re: OHIO CHL BACKGROUND CHECK
THAnks guys, just ordered a Kimber Pro Carry II and just hoping that when it ships to my FFL that I am able to continue the transaction. Was just worried due to being delayed at my local gunshow. I can tell you that I am a “Jr” me and my father has the same name and I beleive he had a felony, and some DV’s years ago. If that effects my background check , who knows?! Just couldn’t get over why I was even delayed in the first place with no DV’s, No felonies, No warrants, and one minor misdemeanor weed ticket over a year ago.

Re: OHIO CHL BACKGROUND CHECK
That is likely why you've been delayed before. They were just making sure you weren't the one with a felony.Greenbean wrote:I can tell you that I am a “Jr” me and my father has the same name and I beleive he had a felony, and some DV’s years ago.

Re: OHIO CHL BACKGROUND CHECK
I've been delayed also and my background check is roughly the same disorderlies and an old pot ticket. All of my delays except one have went to proceed after about a day and a half. I've only been Brady dated once. From what I gather NICS has been backed up like crazy since the pandemic and all the new owners so I was told that was a big part of it. I do wonder though if part of it doesn't have to do with my family also. I'm not a junior or anything like that but I have alot of "family" with the same last name and a few of em have my middle name for a first name. I put it in quotes because most of em are so distantly related we technically have no blood relation, in fact I never even met most of em but I know their reputations and there's no way they don't have felonies.
