Concealed carry

If you have no CCW license in Ohio(actual Ohio license, not out of state license elsewhere), then you are not able to carry near school zones... you can't be within 1000ft of a school zone(that means roads)... you still cannot carry on school property but that is a given.

I just went through the course at www.vra-ohio.com

It's $150, but I actually felt like it was worth it... the instructors were knowledgeable aside from a few insignificant remarks that I thought were questionable(more weapon related, not actually CCW related). The people there are friendly, the place is clean, and they're very professional and make sure safety is top priority(without being super douchey about it).

I can justify the price since my wife will eventually be taking the class too and she is familiar with that range and the people who work there, and since I took the class already they will let me sit in on the class with her when she takes it.

I am going to do my interview w/ the Montgomery county sheriff in a couple weeks when I have the afternoon off from work.

I plan on applying for my VA out of state permit eventually, but it's mainly so I can carry in PA since they do not honor Ohio's permit... VA/PA/OH are where me and my family are all at so that should cover my bases.
