(2)(a) A license to carry a concealed handgun that a sheriff	287

(b) If a sheriff denies an application under this section	298
because the applicant does not satisfy the criteria described in	299

grounds for the denial in a written notice to the applicant. The	301
applicant may appeal the denial pursuant to section 119.12 of the	302
Revised Code in the county served by the sheriff who denied the	303
application. If the denial was as a result of the criminal records	304
check conducted pursuant to section 311.41 of the Revised Code and	305
if, pursuant to section 2923.127 of the Revised Code, the	306
applicant challenges the criminal records check results using the	307

pendency of the request or the challenge and review. If the court	311
in an appeal under section 119.12 of the Revised Code and this	312
division enters a judgment sustaining the sheriff's refusal to	313
grant to the applicant a license to carry a concealed handgun, the	314

2923.128 or 2923.1213 of the Revised Code or to refuse to renew	319
the license for any proper cause that may occur after the date the	320
judgment is entered. In the appeal, the court shall have full	321
power to dispose of all costs.	322

(3) If the sheriff with whom an application for a license to	323
carry a concealed handgun was filed under this section becomes	324
aware that the applicant has been arrested for or otherwise	325
charged with an offense that would disqualify the applicant from	326
holding the license, the sheriff shall suspend the processing of	327
the application until the disposition of the case arising from the	328
arrest or charge.	329

(4) If the sheriff determines that the applicant is legally	330
living in the United States and is a resident of the county in	331
which the applicant seeks the license or of an adjacent county but	332
does not yet meet the residency requirements described in division	333
(D)(1)(a) of this section, the sheriff shall not deny the license	334
because of the residency requirements but shall not issue the	335
license until the applicant meets those residency requirements.	336

(5) If an applicant has been convicted of or pleaded guilty	337
to an offense identified in division (D)(1)(e), (f), or (h) of	338
this section or has been adjudicated a delinquent child for	339
committing an act or violation identified in any of those	340
divisions, and if a court has ordered the sealing or expungement	341
of the records of that conviction, guilty plea, or adjudication	342
pursuant to sections 2151.355 to 2151.358 or sections 2953.31 to	343
2953.36 of the Revised Code or a court has granted the applicant	344
relief pursuant to section 2923.14 of the Revised Code from the	345
disability imposed pursuant to section 2923.13 of the Revised Code	346
relative to that conviction, guilty plea, or adjudication, the	347
sheriff with whom the application was submitted shall not consider	348
the conviction, guilty plea, or adjudication in making a	349
determination under division (D)(1) or (F) of this section or, in	350
relation to an application for a temporary emergency license to	351
carry a concealed handgun submitted under section 2923.1213 of the	352
Revised Code, in making a determination under division (B)(2) of	353
that section.	354

(E) If a license to carry a concealed handgun issued under	355
this section is lost or is destroyed, the licensee may obtain from	356
the sheriff who issued that license a duplicate license upon the	357
payment of a fee of fifteen dollars and the submission of an	358
affidavit attesting to the loss or destruction of the license. The	359
sheriff, in accordance with the procedures prescribed in section	360
109.731 of the Revised Code, shall place on the replacement	361
license a combination of identifying numbers different from the	362
combination on the license that is being replaced.	363

(F)(1) A licensee who wishes to renew a license to carry a	364
concealed handgun issued under this section shall do so not	365
earlier than ninety days before the expiration date of the license	366
or at any time after the expiration date of the license by	367
filing with the sheriff of the county in which the applicant	368
resides or with the sheriff of an adjacent county an application	369
for renewal of the license obtained pursuant to division (D) of	370
this section, a certification by the applicant that, subsequent	371
to the issuance of the license, the applicant has reread the	372
pamphlet prepared by the Ohio peace officer training commission	373
pursuant to section 109.731 of the Revised Code that reviews	374
firearms, dispute resolution, and use of deadly force matters, a	375
nonrefundable license renewal fee unless the fee is waived, and	376
one of the following:	377

(a) If the licensee previously has not renewed a license to	378
carry a concealed handgun issued under this section, proof that	379
the licensee at one time had a competency certification of the	380
type described in division (B)(3) of this section. A valid	381
license or any other previously issued license that has not been	382
revoked is prima-facie evidence that the licensee at one time	383
had a competency certification of the type described in division	384
(B)(3) of this section.	385

(b) If the licensee previously has renewed a license to carry	386
a concealed handgun issued under this section, a renewed	387
competency certification of the type described in division (G)(4)	388
of this section.	389

(2) A sheriff shall accept a completed renewal application,	390
the license renewal fee, and information specified in division	391
(F)(1) of this section at the times and in the manners described	392
in division (I) of this section. Upon receipt of a completed	393
renewal application, of certification that the applicant has	394
reread the specified pamphlet prepared by the Ohio peace	395
officer training commission, of proof of a prior competency	396
certification for an initial renewal or of a renewed competency	397
certification for a second or subsequent renewal, and of a	398
license renewal fee unless the fee is waived, a sheriff, in the	399
manner specified in section 311.41 of the Revised Code shall	400
conduct or cause to be conducted the criminal records check and	401
the incompetency records check described in section 311.41 of	402
the Revised Code. The sheriff shall renew the license if the	403
sheriff determines that the applicant continues to satisfy the	404
requirements described in division (D)(1) of this section, except	405
that the applicant is not required to meet the requirements of	406
division (D)(1)(l) of this section. A renewed license that is	407
renewed on or after March 14, 2007, shall expire five years	408
after the date of issuance, and a renewed license that is	409
renewed prior to March 14, 2007, shall expire four years after	410
the date of issuance. A renewed license is subject to division	411
(E) of this section and sections 2923.126 and 2923.128 of the	412
Revised Code. A sheriff shall comply with divisions (D)(2) to	413
(4) of this section when the circumstances described in those	414
divisions apply to a requested license renewal. If a sheriff	415
denies the renewal of a license to carry a concealed handgun,	416

to the status of any person under such rule, however, shall be	532
required to be made pursuant to Chapter 119. of the Revised Code.	533
The term "resident" for these purposes shall not be equated with	534
the definition of that term as it is employed elsewhere under the	535
laws of this state and other states, and shall not carry with it	536
any of the legal connotations appurtenant thereto. Rather, except	537
as provided in division (B) of this section, for such purposes,	538
the rule promulgated under this section shall have the objective	539
of excluding from treatment as residents those who are present	540
in the state primarily for the purpose of attending a	541
state-supported or state-assisted institution of higher education,	542
and may prescribe presumptive rules, rebuttable or conclusive, as	543
to such purpose based upon the source or sources of support of the	544
student, residence prior to first enrollment, evidence of	545
intention to remain in the state after completion of studies, or	546
such other factors as the chancellor deems relevant.	547

(B) The rules of the chancellor for determining student	548

(1) The veteran either:

552

(a) Served one or more years on active military duty and was	553
honorably discharged or received a medical discharge that was	554
related to the military service;	555

(b) Was killed while serving on active military duty or has	556
been declared to be missing in action or a prisoner of war.	557

(2) If the veteran seeks residency status for tuition	558
surcharge purposes, the veteran has established domicile in this	559
state as of the first day of a term of enrollment in an	560
institution of higher education. If the spouse or a dependent of	561
the veteran seeks residency status for tuition surcharge purposes,	562
the veteran and the spouse or dependent seeking residency status	563
have established domicile in this state as of the first day of a	564
term of enrollment in an institution of higher education, except	565
that if the veteran was killed while serving on active military	566
duty or has been declared to be missing in action or a prisoner of	567
war, only the spouse or dependent seeking residency status shall	568
be required to have established domicile in accordance with this	569
division.	570

(C) The rules of the chancellor for determining student	571
residency shall not deny residency status to a student who is	572
either a dependent child of a parent, or the spouse of a person	573
who, as of the first day of a term of enrollment in an institution	574
of higher education, has accepted full-time employment and	575
established domicile in this state for reasons other than gaining	576
the benefit of favorable tuition rates.	577

Documentation of full-time employment and domicile shall	578
include both of the following documents:	579

(1) A sworn statement from the employer or the employer's	580
representative on the letterhead of the employer or the employer's	581
representative certifying that the parent or spouse of the student	582
is employed full-time in Ohio;	583

(2) A copy of the lease under which the parent or spouse is	584
the lessee and occupant of rented residential property in the	585
state, a copy of the closing statement on residential real	586
property of which the parent or spouse is the owner and occupant	587
in this state or, if the parent or spouse is not the lessee or	588
owner of the residence in which the parent or spouse has	589
established domicile, a letter from the owner of the residence	590
certifying that the parent or spouse resides at that residence.	591

Residency officers may also evaluate, in accordance with the	592
chancellor's rule, requests for immediate residency status from	593
dependent students whose parents are not living and whose domicile	594
follows that of a legal guardian who has accepted full-time	595
employment and established domicile in the state for reasons other	596
than gaining the benefit of favorable tuition rates.	597

(C)(D) "Dependent," "domicile," "institution of higher	598
education," and "residency officer" have the meanings ascribed in	599
the chancellor's rules adopted under this section.	600
