Ohio has allowed some form of "concealed-carry" for gun owners since 2001. Such permission came in the form of a 12-year license, after passing a required training course. These permits also require our pistol-packin' Buckeye brethren to recertify their gun competency every 12 years, and the first bunch of concealed-carry permit reapplications/renewals will occur early next year.
But in its infinite Republican wisdom, a House panel voted yesterday to remove the 12 year retesting requirement. A Cincinnati weapons instructor opposed to the retesting rule testified before the panel, and offered his opinion that it was unnecessary because "Shooting is a lot like riding a bicycle. You never forget the basics."
Maybe. But it's a hell of a lot easier to kill somebody with a goddam Glock than with a Schwinn!
We're up to our necks in idiots, and the tide is rising.
