Post subject:  Utah - Ohio battle over reciprocity

Ohio Prohibitionists Continue Attack on Utah Reciprocity: If the 12-hour
required class to get an Ohio concealed weapons permit seems too
burdensome, take the Utah course. It takes about four hours and you
don't have to leave Ohio or fire a gun. In 2004, Ohio signed a
reciprocity agreement with Utah so the two states honor one another's
CCW permits. Toby Hoover, of the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence,
said Ohio's 12-hour training requirement is not too much to ask... Ohio
issues permits to Ohio residents, 21 or older, who pass a criminal
background check, complete 12 hours of training - including two hours of
shooting - and meet other requirements. Utah issues permits to adults
who pass a background check and complete a course, according to Utah
Department of Public Safety Lt. Doug Anderson... (Arizona was faced with
residents opting for three-hour Utah courses in place of 16-hour Arizona
course and changed its law so that out-of-state permits are no longer
valid or Arizona residents. Of note, when the Arizona mandate dropped
from 16 hours to eight hours, the application rate for Arizona permits
doubled.)
