section, the applicant, within three years of the date of the	429

was issued to the applicant under this section or section	479
2923.1213 of the Revised Code.	480

(2)(a) A license to carry a concealed handgun that a sheriff	481
issues under division (D)(1) of this section on or after March 14,	482

division (D)(1) of this section prior to March 14, 2007, shall	485
expire four years after the date of issuance.	486

If a sheriff issues a license under this section, the sheriff	487

numbers identifying the license in accordance with the procedure	489
prescribed by the Ohio peace officer training commission pursuant	490
to section 109.731 of the Revised Code.	491

(b) If a sheriff denies an application under this section	492
because the applicant does not satisfy the criteria described in	493
division (D)(1) of this section, the sheriff shall specify the	494
grounds for the denial in a written notice to the applicant. The	495

of the Revised Code and this division is tolled during the	504
pendency of the request or the challenge and review. If the court	505
in an appeal under section 119.12 of the Revised Code and this	506
division enters a judgment sustaining the sheriff's refusal to	507
grant to the applicant a license to carry a concealed handgun, the	508
applicant may file a new application beginning one year after the	509
judgment is entered. If the court enters a judgment in favor of	510
the applicant, that judgment shall not restrict the authority of a	511
sheriff to suspend or revoke the license pursuant to section	512
2923.128 or 2923.1213 of the Revised Code or to refuse to renew	513
the license for any proper cause that may occur after the date the	514

carry a concealed handgun was filed under this section becomes	518
aware that the applicant has been arrested for or otherwise	519
charged with an offense that would disqualify the applicant from	520
holding the license, the sheriff shall suspend the processing of	521
the application until the disposition of the case arising from the	522
arrest or charge.	523

(4) If the sheriff determines that the applicant is legally	524
living in the United States and is a resident of the county in	525
which the applicant seeks the license or of an adjacent county but	526
does not yet meet the residency requirements described in division	527
(D)(1)(a) of this section, the sheriff shall not deny the license	528
because of the residency requirements but shall not issue the	529
license until the applicant meets those residency requirements.	530

(5) If an applicant has been convicted of or pleaded guilty	531
to an offense identified in division (D)(1)(e), (f), or (h) of	532
this section or has been adjudicated a delinquent child for	533
committing an act or violation identified in any of those	534
divisions, and if a court has ordered the sealing or expungement	535
of the records of that conviction, guilty plea, or adjudication	536
pursuant to sections 2151.355 to 2151.358 or sections 2953.31 to	537
2953.36 of the Revised Code or a court has granted the applicant	538
relief pursuant to section 2923.14 of the Revised Code from the	539
disability imposed pursuant to section 2923.13 of the Revised Code	540
relative to that conviction, guilty plea, or adjudication, the	541
sheriff with whom the application was submitted shall not consider	542
the conviction, guilty plea, or adjudication in making a	543
determination under division (D)(1) or (F) of this section or, in	544
relation to an application for a temporary emergency license to	545
carry a concealed handgun submitted under section 2923.1213 of the	546
Revised Code, in making a determination under division (B)(2) of	547
that section.	548

(E) If a license to carry a concealed handgun issued under	549
this section is lost or is destroyed, the licensee may obtain from	550
the sheriff who issued that license a duplicate license upon the	551
payment of a fee of fifteen dollars and the submission of an	552
affidavit attesting to the loss or destruction of the license. The	553
sheriff, in accordance with the procedures prescribed in section	554
109.731 of the Revised Code, shall place on the replacement	555
license a combination of identifying numbers different from the	556
combination on the license that is being replaced.	557

(F)(1) A licensee who wishes to renew a license to carry a	558
concealed handgun issued under this section shall do so not	559
earlier than ninety days before the expiration date of the license	560
or at any time after the expiration date of the license by	561
filing with the sheriff of the county in which the applicant	562
resides or with the sheriff of an adjacent county an application	563
for renewal of the license obtained pursuant to division (D) of	564
this section, a certification by the applicant that, subsequent	565
to the issuance of the license, the applicant has reread the	566
pamphlet prepared by the Ohio peace officer training commission	567
pursuant to section 109.731 of the Revised Code that reviews	568
firearms, dispute resolution, and use of deadly force matters, a	569
nonrefundable license renewal fee unless the fee is waived, and	570
one of the following:	571

(a) If the licensee previously has not renewed a license to	572
carry a concealed handgun issued under this section, proof that	573
the licensee at one time had a competency certification of the	574
type described in division (B)(3) of this section. A valid	575
license or any other previously issued license that has not been	576
revoked is prima-facie evidence that the licensee at one time	577
had a competency certification of the type described in division	578
(B)(3) of this section.	579

(2) A sheriff shall accept a completed renewal application,	584
the license renewal fee, and information specified in division	585

officer training commission, of proof of a prior competency	590
certification for an initial renewal or of a renewed competency	591
certification for a second or subsequent renewal, and of a	592
license renewal fee unless the fee is waived, a sheriff, in the	593
manner specified in section 311.41 of the Revised Code shall	594
conduct or cause to be conducted the criminal records check and	595
the incompetency records check described in section 311.41 of	596
the Revised Code. The sheriff shall renew the license if the	597
sheriff determines that the applicant continues to satisfy the	598
requirements described in division (D)(1) of this section, except	599
that the applicant is not required to meet the requirements of	600
division (D)(1)(l) of this section. A renewed license that is	601
renewed on or after March 14, 2007, shall expire five years	602
after the date of issuance, and a renewed license that is	603
renewed prior to March 14, 2007, shall expire four years after	604
the date of issuance. A renewed license is subject to division	605
(E) of this section and sections 2923.126 and 2923.128 of the	606
Revised Code. A sheriff shall comply with divisions (D)(2) to	607
(4) of this section when the circumstances described in those	608
divisions apply to a requested license renewal. If a sheriff	609
denies the renewal of a license to carry a concealed handgun,	610
the applicant may appeal the denial, or challenge the criminal	611
record check results that were the basis of the denial if	612
applicable, in the same manner as specified in division	613
(D)(2)(b) of this section and in section 2923.127 of the Revised	614
Code, regarding the denial of a license under this section.	615

obtain a renewed competency certification from an entity that	662
offers a course, class, or program described in division	663

section 311.42 of the Revised Code.	858

(C) A person who holds a temporary emergency license to carry	859

handgun under section 2923.125 of the Revised Code, and any	862
exceptions to the prohibitions contained in section 1547.69 and	863
sections 2923.12 to 2923.16 of the Revised Code for a licensee	864
under section 2923.125 of the Revised Code apply to a licensee	865

receiving information, verifiable by public documents, that the	881
person is not eligible to possess a firearm under either the laws	882
of this state or of the United States or that the person committed	883
perjury in obtaining the license; if the sheriff revokes a license	884
under this additional authority, the sheriff shall notify the	885
person, by certified mail, return receipt requested, at the	886
person's last known residence address that the license has been	887
revoked and that the person is required to surrender the license	888
at the sheriff's office within ten days of the date on which the	889

temporary emergency license to carry a concealed handgun.	892

(E) A sheriff who issues a temporary emergency license to	893

of that evidence, as appropriate.	898

(F) If a temporary emergency license to carry a concealed	899
handgun issued under this section is lost or is destroyed, the	900
licensee may obtain from the sheriff who issued that license a	901
duplicate license upon the payment of a fee of fifteen dollars and	902

destruction of the license. The sheriff, in accordance with the	904
procedures prescribed in section 109.731 of the Revised Code,	905
shall place on the replacement license a combination of	906
identifying numbers different from the combination on the license	907
that is being replaced.	908

(G) The Ohio peace officer training commission shall	909
prescribe, and shall make available to sheriffs, a standard form	910
to be used under division (B) of this section by a person who	911
applies for a temporary emergency license to carry a concealed	912
handgun on the basis of imminent danger of a type described in	913
division (A)(1)(a) of this section.	914

(H) A sheriff who receives any fees paid by a person under	915
this section shall deposit all fees so paid into the sheriff's	916
concealed handgun license issuance expense fund established under	917
section 311.42 of the Revised Code.	918

(I) A sheriff shall accept evidence of imminent danger, a	919
sworn affidavit, the fee, and the set of fingerprints specified in	920
division (B)(1) of this section at any time during normal business	921

fee, and the set of fingerprints specified in division (B)(1) of	925
this section, or for the provision to any person of a standard	926
form to be used for a person to apply for a temporary emergency	927

Sec. 2923.211.  (A) No person under eighteen years of age	929
shall purchase or attempt to purchase a firearm.	930

(B) No person under twenty-one years of age shall purchase or	931
attempt to purchase a handgun, provided that this division does	932
not apply to the purchase or attempted purchase of a handgun by a	933
person eighteen years of age or older and under twenty-one years	934
of age if theeither of the following apply:	935

(1) The person eighteen years of age or older and under	936

guard, and the person has received firearms training from the	945
armed services or the national guard or equivalent firearms	946
training.	947

(C) Whoever violates division (A) of this section is guilty	948
of underage purchase of a firearm, a delinquent act that would be	949
a felony of the fourth degree if it could be committed by an	950
adult. Whoever violates division (B) of this section is guilty of	951
underage purchase of a handgun, a misdemeanor of the second	952
degree.	953

Sec. 3333.31.  (A) For state subsidy and tuition surcharge	954
purposes, status as a resident of Ohio shall be defined by the	955
chancellor of the Ohio board of regents by rule promulgated	956
pursuant to Chapter 119. of the Revised Code. No adjudication as	957
to the status of any person under such rule, however, shall be	958
required to be made pursuant to Chapter 119. of the Revised Code.	959
The term "resident" for these purposes shall not be equated with	960
the definition of that term as it is employed elsewhere under the	961
laws of this state and other states, and shall not carry with it	962
any of the legal connotations appurtenant thereto. Rather, except	963
as provided in division (B) of this section, for such purposes,	964
the rule promulgated under this section shall have the objective	965
of excluding from treatment as residents those who are present	966
in the state primarily for the purpose of attending a	967
state-supported or state-assisted institution of higher education,	968
and may prescribe presumptive rules, rebuttable or conclusive, as	969
to such purpose based upon the source or sources of support of the	970
student, residence prior to first enrollment, evidence of	971
intention to remain in the state after completion of studies, or	972
such other factors as the chancellor deems relevant.	973

(B) The rules of the chancellor for determining student	974
residency shall grant residency status to a veteran and to the	975
veteran's spouse and any dependent of the veteran, if both of the	976
following conditions are met:	977

(1) The veteran either:

978

(a) Served one or more years on active military duty and was	979
honorably discharged or received a medical discharge that was	980
related to the military service;	981

(b) Was killed while serving on active military duty or has	982
been declared to be missing in action or a prisoner of war.	983

(2) If the veteran seeks residency status for tuition	984
surcharge purposes, the veteran has established domicile in this	985
state as of the first day of a term of enrollment in an	986
institution of higher education. If the spouse or a dependent of	987
the veteran seeks residency status for tuition surcharge purposes,	988
the veteran and the spouse or dependent seeking residency status	989
have established domicile in this state as of the first day of a	990
term of enrollment in an institution of higher education, except	991
that if the veteran was killed while serving on active military	992
duty or has been declared to be missing in action or a prisoner of	993
war, only the spouse or dependent seeking residency status shall	994
be required to have established domicile in accordance with this	995
division.	996

(C) The rules of the chancellor for determining student	997
residency shall not deny residency status to a student who is	998
either a dependent child of a parent, or the spouse of a person	999
who, as of the first day of a term of enrollment in an institution	1000
of higher education, has accepted full-time employment and	1001
established domicile in this state for reasons other than gaining	1002
the benefit of favorable tuition rates.	1003

Documentation of full-time employment and domicile shall	1004
include both of the following documents:	1005

(1) A sworn statement from the employer or the employer's	1006
representative on the letterhead of the employer or the employer's	1007
representative certifying that the parent or spouse of the student	1008
is employed full-time in Ohio;	1009

(2) A copy of the lease under which the parent or spouse is	1010
the lessee and occupant of rented residential property in the	1011
state, a copy of the closing statement on residential real	1012
property of which the parent or spouse is the owner and occupant	1013
in this state or, if the parent or spouse is not the lessee or	1014
owner of the residence in which the parent or spouse has	1015
established domicile, a letter from the owner of the residence	1016
certifying that the parent or spouse resides at that residence.	1017

Residency officers may also evaluate, in accordance with the	1018
chancellor's rule, requests for immediate residency status from	1019
dependent students whose parents are not living and whose domicile	1020
follows that of a legal guardian who has accepted full-time	1021
employment and established domicile in the state for reasons other	1022
than gaining the benefit of favorable tuition rates.	1023

(C)(D) "Dependent," "domicile," "institution of higher	1024
education," and "residency officer" have the meanings ascribed in	1025
the chancellor's rules adopted under this section.	1026
