The Cincinnati Enquirer is covering U.S. Representative Jean Schmidt taking a concealed handgun class from OFCC member Collin Rink and applying for her license with her husband. "It was kind of like getting a driver's license," Schmidt said, adding that she plans to pick up the actual license at the Clermont County Sheriff's Office this weekend. Schmidt, R-Miami Township, was a co-sponsor of a bill that passed the Ohio Legislature in January 2004, giving Ohioans the right to carry a concealed handgun for self-defense purposes.But Schmidt said she won't bring her handgun to work with her in Washington, where it's illegal to carry a concealed firearm. She declined to say when she'd carry it in Ohio, however. "You never know whether Schmidt's carrying or not," she said with a chuckle. |
