Just renewed mine yesterday (expires May 19th, good til June).......3 weeks max for permit renewal.
The State mails them out now, no more local picture permits.
$25 for 5 year renewal (on time)..........$50 if late.
My Ohio concealed carry license expires next month. I am seriously considering allowing it to expire. I have never carried while driving and won't. What I wonder is whether an LEO stopping me would tend to be least nervous 1) if the computer shows that my license had expired, or 2) if I renew the license? In either case I will state right off to the officer that I am not carrying.
Full disclosure: I haven't been stopped since I was 19 (50 ears ago) driving to my job as a Boy Scout camp counselor in uniform. The officer did not say why, but I suspect it was because I probably looked like I was too young to drive. I have never had a bad encounter with any LEO.
I am not arguing against concealed carry; I just believe that I personally don't need it any more.
I appreciate your thoughts; thank you.
You probably wouldn't be able to get it renewed anyway. In Iowa we need to do it at least 2 and better 3 months before expiration. Ours is for 5 years. Not sure about other states.
