Ohio Attorney General annual report released

Post by rickt »

The number of Ohioans permitted to carry a concealed handgun grew again in 2018, new data from the Ohio Attorney General's Office shows.

Enquirer calculations suggest a 3 percent increase in the last year in the number of Ohioans with active concealed carry permits. An estimated one out of 17 Ohioans may be packing a concealed handgun.

In 2018, 69,375 new licenses were issued. This is down from last years 77,281 new licenses and far below the 2016 record of 117,953. Any permits issued from 2014 on were likely still active in 2018 as concealed carry permits expire after five years.

The AG report still claims that moving out of state is one reason licenses are revoked even though the law specifically says that is untrue. I contacted DeWine's office about that several years ago and they ignored me.

Now that we have a new AG, try contacting him - the law is explicit that those licenses remain valid until they expire.

Done.
The AG's 2018 CCW annual report contains an error of fact. On page 3, it says, "A license may be revoked when the holder moves out of state..."

This contradicts ORC 2923.125(F(5) which states, "The concealed handgun license of a licensee who is no longer a resident of this state or no longer employed in this state, as applicable, is valid until the date of expiration on the license, and the licensee is prohibited from renewing the concealed handgun license."

Please forward this information to the individual who responsible for the annual report.
