Concealed Carry (questions)

[AllanY2525]

I tend to agree that the likelyhood of criminals using guns that have been
registered with the Sheriff's office is pretty low.  These guys [criminals]
usually use illegal handguns, with the serial numbers filed off so that
they cannot be traced.

Probably not.  The ones with the permits are the ones who have waepons to protect themselves against the criminals. Its a list of the good guys and more of us should be on it!

I'd like to know if crimes have been committed by those that have the permits.

Jay,
Perhaps you qualify as a journalist... considering all the posts you've made here.  LOL

I tried to find this info for you, but didn't at this time.

The Sheriff's registration info is:
http://www.mahoningsheriff.com/ccwpermit2.html

And another good site for info is:
http://www.ohioccw.org/index.php?option=com_kb&Itemid=57

And any journalist can request the full registration list:
http://www.ohioccw.org/index.php?option=com_kb&Itemid=57&page=articles&articleid=148
"Upon a written request made to a sheriff and signed by a journalist on or after the effective date of this section, the sheriff shall disclose to the journalist the name, county of residence, and date of birth of each person to whom the sheriff has issued a license or replacement license to carry a concealed handgun, renewed a license to carry a concealed handgun, or issued a temporary emergency license or replacement temporary emergency license to carry a concealed handgun under section 2923.125 or 2923.1213 of the Revised Code. The request shall include the journalist's name and title, shall include the name and address of the journalist's employer, and shall state that disclosure of the information sought would be in the public interest."

I have a few questions about the current concealed carry program.
Does anyone know how many people in Mahoning County and in Youngstown have concealed carry permits?

My next question depends on the answer to the above question.
