ELIGIBILTY FOR CONCEALED CARRY COURSES:

We handle firearms during the concealed carry course, therefore students must not have a Weapon Under Disability (WUD Charge).

A Weapon Under Disability/WUD Charge is defined by ORC as:To knowingly acquire, have, carry, or use a firearm if any of the following apply:

1. The person is a fugitive from justice
2. The person is under indictment or has been convicted of a felony offense of violence
3. The person is under indictment or has been convicted of drug possession or abuse.
4. The person is drug dependent, in danger of drug dependence, or a chronic alcoholic.
5. The person is under adjudication of mental incompetence.

Having a Weapon While Under Disability or WUD charge is a F3 Gun Crime under Ohio law. A gun is a firearm under Ohio law. “Firearm” includes an unloaded firearm, and any firearm that is inoperable but that can readily be rendered operable.
