Question about application

[jbstyle]

I will be taking the CCW training course in June. I have a Misdemeanor Unlawful Restraint charge on my record from the early 90's. Will this effect my application with the Sherrif?

I assume you meant conviction, not charge, right.

Anyway, the only misdemeanors that affect a CHL over three years old are "Misdemeanor Crimes of Domestic Violence" and drug convictions.

So unless you were unlawfully restraining your wife (or similar relationship) by use of force, you should be fine.

I see it is your first post, so WELCOME.

If you were convicted under 2905.03, unlawful restraint, there is no need to check yes anywhere on the application form as Ohio does not consider it an offense of violence under the ORC.

I would also question, if the victim was a person that would meet the definitions for a domestic violence type charge, whether it would put the OP under a federal disability anyway. By definition no force, violence or threat thereof are elements of the crime, if they were it would be kidnapping.
