Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Concealed Carry License Dilemna

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.

Re up your CCL. Always have a weapon in your car. Stand up for yourself and quit being afraid of the police.

No LLC I still carry though. no need for an LLC in your car in tx.

You have no business carrying.

So don’t bother with it.

Old saying - - - "You don't know what you don't know",
As a good guy we never know when a bad person wishes to harm you or your family.

I'm a former LEO If I stopped a person for any given reason, If they had their weapon on them, I never asked to see it. Sometime people will say, would you like to see it? I would respond, no, let's just leave it in your holster. I would ask, where is your weapon.
I know many other LEO who use this same method when dealing with a person with a weapons permit.

Bottom line, you need to make yourself happy.

Take care.

You won't need it - until you DO.. In today's world of 'thugs gone wild' I would never hesitate to renew.. But YMMV... Best wishes on your final decision..

Don't know how it works anywhere else but in SD a ccl automatically shows up when a LEO runs your plate number. Stop put the trans in park put your hands on the top of the wheel .He'll ask if you are armed tell the truth. They don't trust anyone and neither should you that's why you have a ccl in the first place. If you don't re up your license they'lll still think you have a gun. Mb

Move to a state where you don’t need permission from the government to exercise your constitutional rights.

When I see a cop tailing me, I pull over and get out.

Are you a female?

Here they would yell at you to stay in the vehicle, At least they used to.

Lot of people USE guns at times while travelling to help them or others in conflicts with dimocraps.

If you ever need one and dont have one youll never need one again.

Sure you do.

Sheep, sheep dog, or wolf.

Decide which one you are.

Winner winner

If it's dark, turn on the dome lights - have your lic., registration, permits out and handy to show by the time it's (it - male or female; gender-neutral, doncha know).. at your window..

Yep. Getting out is an offensive move.

This.

Hahaha.
